SCORPIONS[08/11/08 update]
New support announced MICHAEL SCHENKER - Founder member of UFO & The Scorpions
Supporting all shows along with Uli Jon Roth, except the Newcastle date which will be supported by the Schenker/Barden Acoustic Trio
The Scorpions are the only German band to have unswervingly pursued an international career for over thirty-five years. What's important for Matthias Jabs is to make "music that's enduring" and that embodies the identity of the Scorpions. Music, above all, that stands the test of a live concert - in the full exposure of the spotlights.

The first was The Honberg Festival in Tuttlingen Germany with Magnum. What an amazing concert inside the ruins at Honberg Castle. The view was incredible over looking the town below. The crowd was really awesome and we rocked the glowing blue castle at night!! Insane...This was definitely a memorable performance for me. I hope to return next year for another festival.[07/12/08 update]
The Magic Circle Festival in Bad Arolsen was another great show despite a few technical difficulties that were out of our control...Unfortunately, we had to play a shorter set because the shuttle was 4 hours late to pick up singer Gary Barden and Carlo my guitar tech from the airport...Good one!! So the whole band is waiting on stage for the first site of Gary Barden. Finally he arrives and we instantly run onstage and begin "Into The Arena". We end with "Doctor ,Doctor" for a shorter 40 minute set. Despite the poor stage monitor mix, the sound out front was great. Thousands of fans singing along with fists in the air, giving us the energy to rise above the minor distractions. Overall, I felt it was a great show and we look forward to playing here again next year, to ROCK the entire set as we had originally planned!!
