Ugh, this is the sort of story that makes a person feel old as fuck. Two decades ago, the badass cartoon show Metalocalypse debuted, giving metalheads everywhere a show to watch and introducing the world to Brendon Small’s brainchild, Dethklok.

Vegas Gets Stung Again

Scorpions aren’t done with Las Vegas — not even close.

The German hard rock legends have officially announced their 2026 “Coming Home To Las Vegas” residency, marking yet another return to PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

After three consecutive sold-out Vegas runs, the band is doubling down on a city that has become a second home.

And fans clearly can’t get enough.

A Residency Built On Proven Demand

This new residency follows an impressive streak:

• Sin City Nights (2022)
• Love At First Sting Las Vegas (2024)
• Coming Home To Las Vegas 60th Anniversary (2025)

Each run sold out.

That kind of consistency in Vegas — a city overflowing with entertainment options — says everything about Scorpions’ enduring draw.

Klaus Meine: “Pure Rock ’N’ Roll Joy”

Frontman Klaus Meine reflected on the band’s connection with Vegas: “Our residency in Las Vegas last year was pure rock ’n’ roll joy!! Unforgettable nights with fans from all over the world.”

He emphasized the energy of those shows as the driving force behind the return: “Vegas… we’re gonna sting you again!”

Simple. Confident. Very Scorpions.

Global demand
Sold-out residencies
Cross-generational appeal
Timeless live energy

Few bands sustain that level of relevance across decades.

A Legacy That Began In 1965

Formed in Hannover, West Germany, Scorpions helped shape early European hard rock and metal through landmark releases including:

• Lovedrive
• Virgin Killer
• Animal Magnetism
• Blackout
• Love At First Sting

Their ’80s era alone produced songs that remain essential rock staples.
