The legendary German rock band Scorpions has announced their final chapter: the 2026 Farewell World Tour, fittingly titled Final Hurricane. After more than six decades of shaping the sound of hard rock and heavy metal, the band is preparing to embark on one last global journey, giving fans across the world a chance to say goodbye in person.
From their humble beginnings in Hanover, Germany, in 1965 to their rise as international icons, the Scorpions have left a mark on music history that is nothing short of monumental. With over 100 million records sold worldwide and timeless hits like “Rock You Like a Hurricane,” “Wind of Change,” and “Still Loving You,” their music transcends generations and cultures. The farewell tour promises to be both a celebration and a tribute to their unparalleled legacy.
The announcement came with a wave of nostalgia and emotion, as fans around the globe flooded social media with tributes. The band’s official statement captured the sentiment: “After more than 60 years of rocking stages worldwide, it’s time for one last hurricane. We want to thank our fans for walking this journey with us — this tour is for you.”
The Final Hurricane tour will span multiple continents, beginning in Europe with dates in Berlin, London, Paris, and Madrid before heading to North America for massive stadium shows in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, and Mexico City. The Scorpions will then take their farewell to South America, Asia, and Australia, ensuring no corner of the world is left untouched by their last storm.
Production details hint at a tour unlike any before. Expect an epic stage design featuring fire, lightning visuals, and towering screens displaying historic footage from the band’s career. Fans will be treated to a journey through their entire discography, from early gems to chart-topping anthems, all delivered with the same power and intensity that has defined Scorpions’ live shows for decades.
Lead vocalist Klaus Meine expressed both gratitude and passion about the upcoming tour: “This isn’t just about saying goodbye. It’s about celebrating 60 years of music, friendship, and unforgettable moments. Every song will be a thank you to our fans.” His words echo the deep bond the band has always shared with its audience.
The setlist is expected to include fan favorites like “Big City Nights,” “No One Like You,” and of course, “Rock You Like a Hurricane.” Rumors suggest that the band will also surprise audiences with rare live renditions of tracks not often performed, making each concert a unique experience.
Merchandise for the Final Hurricane tour is already being teased, with collectors’ vinyl editions, commemorative posters, and exclusive farewell tour apparel in the works. These items are likely to become treasured keepsakes for fans who want to hold onto a piece of rock history.
Industry experts predict that demand for tickets will be overwhelming, with pre-sales already crashing websites within minutes of going live. For many, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the Scorpions one last time, and arenas are expected to sell out within hours.
The band’s influence cannot be overstated. From inspiring countless hard rock and metal acts to bridging the gap between East and West with “Wind of Change” during the Cold War, Scorpions’ music has been both an anthem of rebellion and a soundtrack to global change. The Final Hurricane tour will serve as a powerful reminder of their role in shaping rock culture.
As the countdown begins, fans worldwide are preparing for emotional nights filled with soaring guitar solos, unforgettable melodies, and the raw power that only Scorpions can deliver. Each concert promises to be both a celebration and a heartfelt farewell, cementing the band’s place in the pantheon of rock legends.
One thing is clear: when the final notes ring out on the Final Hurricane tour, it will mark the end of an era. But the legacy of Scorpions — their music, their message, and their unmatched passion — will live on forever, carried by generations of fans who will always remember the storm they created.
