The motto of the event is “Coming Home," while the accompanying live album will be titled Coming Home Live. The show promises to be a special night by featuring performances of Scorpions' biggest hits, as well as many musical surprises.

The concert recording will be released by Spinefarm/Vertigo/Universal on vinyl and CD on November 14, and the record is already available for pre-order on the band's website.

"Back then, we just wanted to be part of the global rock family — that was our dream,” guitarist Rudolf Schenker, who founded the band, said about their legacy. “Since then, we’ve shared the stage with Aerosmith and KISS, with Metallica, AC/DC, and I don’t even remember who else we’re fascinated by — to the Berlin Philharmonic.”
