Scorpions continue to celebrate 50+ years of rock with the return to North America for the Crazy World Tour.

"When our album Crazy World was released back in '91, 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," states Klaus Meine. With over 100 million records sold around the world, the band will play fan favorites from their incredible catalogue, as well as songs off their 19th studio album and most recent release, Return To Forever.
