Live Nation has put together what is going to be a dynamic double for rock fans. Scorpions and Whitesnake will tour Australia together in 2020.
Whitesnake fans last saw the band in Australia in 2008. For Scorpions fans in Sydney, this will be the first time the band will play the city after a last-minute cancellation on the Def Leppard tour of 2018. Melbourne was treated to their first Australian show ever only in 2016.
Klaus Meine of Scorpions said in a statement, “As promised…time to come back to Australia! We’re all very much excited to see our fans Down Under in February 2020. Get ready for the bite of Whitesnake and the sting of the Scorpions. We’re gonna rock you like a hurricane!!!! “
Whitesnake fans have the setlist trifecta to look forward to with a new album ‘Flesh & Blood to showcase, greatest hits dating back 42 years and just maybe a gentle reminder of David Coverdale’s Deep Purple heritage to “burn” through.
David Coverdale says, “We are beyond thrilled to be returning to Australia after so many years to play our music for you. What is extra special is we’re returning with our very rocking friends the Scorpions!! SCORPIONS & SNAKES…it doesn’t get any better…or LOUDER! We Promise You These Will Be Nights To Remember!”
