Scorpions have announced a North American tour for later this year with special guests Megadeth.
The 16 dates have been lined up by the German veterans under the Crazy World Tour banner – a reference to the band’s 1990 album.
Scorpions lead vocalist Klaus Meine says: “When our album Crazy World was released right at the end of the Cold War, we toured around a world that was pretty crazy back then – but there was so much hope in the air for a more peaceful future.
“Now 26 years later, things are getting more crazy every other day. After all these years Crazy World is still a good motto for our upcoming world tour.
“We are very much looking forward to seeing all of you out there.”
The run of shows will get underway at Reading’s Santander Arena on September 14 and wrap up at Tampa’s Amalie Arena on October 15. Find a full list of tour dates below.
Scorpions last album was 2015’s Return To Forever, while Megadeth released their 15th record Dystopia in January 2016.
