Hanover (Lower Saxony, Germany). “Rock You Like a Hurricane” from this track alone, everyone knows which hard rock band played it. The Scorpions are now 60 years old as a band and are coming live to the football stadium in their hometown on July 5th. The official website of the rock formation SCORPIONS, founded in Hanover, announces the tour plan for the anniversary year 2025; These include 17 concerts in Europe from June 4th to July 24th, 2025. The rock band SCORPIONS was founded in 1965 by Rudolf Schenker as Nameless in Hanover and released their first music album in 1972. Singer Klaus Meine (born May 25, 1948 in Hanover) wrote many of the lyrics and has also been involved in songwriting since the late 1980s. The upcoming concerts will include Klaus Meine (vocals), Rudolf Schenker (guitar), Matthias Jabs (guitar), Mikkey Dee (drums) and Paweł Mąciwoda (bass). In the 1970s, Uli Jon Roth shaped the band, Michael Schenker was also part of the line-up twice and Herman Rarebell - Herman ze German - was a drummer member of the hard rock band Scorpions from 1977 to 1994.

SCORPIONS ARE THE MOST FAMOUS GERMAN HARD ROCK BAND
The World Wide Web knows that over the last 60 years, all of the records and CDs sold by the rock group SCORPIONS were placed next to each other to form a line from Hanover to Madagascar - if placed one on top of the other they would reach the ISS space station three times. There are enough superlatives: The album “Love at First Sting” from 1984, which came out after the super single title “Rock You Like a Hurricane”, shot up the charts like a rocket. The Scorpions even achieved double platinum with "Love at First Sting" just a few months after its release in the USA.
