Scorpions’ Las Vegas Residency

Currently, the band is also slated to play a Las Vegas residency in September and Octoebr.

The Vegas shows will mark Scorpions’ third residency at PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. It’s the band’s fourth Vegas stint overall. The shows are being put on in celebration of the band’s more than 60 years together.

“Our residency in Las Vegas last year was pure rock ’n’ roll joy!! Unforgettable nights with fans from all over the world,” frontman Klaus Meine said in a press release. “That energy stayed with us, so coming back in 2026 just felt right.”

“We can’t wait to return to Planet Hollywood and celebrate the music, the memories, and another round of rockin’ good times,” he added. “Vegas… we’re gonna sting you again!”

Over their decades-long career, the Hannover-founded Scorpions has sold over 110 million records. They produced multiple Top 10 singles and ranked #46 on VH1’s Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.

Additionally, they have received multiple honors including World Music Award winners, a postage stamp in Brazil, a Star on Hollywood Rock Walk , and Echo honors. Most recently, they were honored with the Lower Saxon State Award.
