In 2025, the road was rough for the Scorpions, keeping them away from their fans more than they, or anyone, had anticipated. Now, as the legendary band gears up for 2026, they are poised for a fresh start. The Scorpions have wasted no time in rolling out their tour dates for the upcoming year, hinting at a major comeback in the making.
With a growing list of international shows on the horizon, the band is set to take on arenas across Europe and make a summertime festival appearance. Among the newly announced dates is an exciting performance at Estonia’s Tallinn Rock Festival on July 31, 2026. This show comes as part of a tour that kicks off in early spring, with confirmed stops in Belgium, Hungary, Finland, and several other European countries.
While a return home to Germany is still up in the air, fans can expect the Scorpions to make multiple appearances in France and Poland as part of their European run. The band is hitting the road in support of their album “Coming Home Live”, which reached impressive heights on the charts in Germany. The album commemorates the Scorpions’ 60th anniversary and their unforgettable hometown concert in Hanover on July 5, 2025, where they were joined by rock icons Alice Cooper, Judas Priest, and other special guests.
Despite the unforgettable nature of the hometown show, the year itself got off to a slow start due to unforeseen challenges. Drummer Mikkey Dee’s battle with sepsis forced the band to put their Las Vegas residency on hold. Dee, who spent over two decades with Motörhead before joining the Scorpions in 2016, revealed the severity of his condition, narrowly avoiding a fate similar to his late former bandmate Lemmy Kilmister.
The band faced additional setbacks in the spring when frontman Klaus Meine developed laryngitis, leading to the cancellation of three more shows. However, as 2026 approaches, the Scorpions are focusing on the fresh start this new year promises to bring. Check out their upcoming tour dates below.
