For the very first time, the legendary Uli Jon Roth - guitar visionary, composer, and original Scorpions mastermind - will bring his celestial fretwork to Australian stages this September, with three exclusive shows that promise to be nothing short of mythic.
This is not a support act. Not a side-stage affair. This is Uli in full flight - headlining, commanding, and unleashing the full force of his Pictures of Destiny world tour across Sydney, Adelaide, and Melbourne.
AUSTRALIAN TOUR DATES
Wed 3 Sep – Manning Bar, Sydney
Thu 4 Sep – The Gov, Adelaide
Fri 5 Sep – Croxton Bandroom, Melbourne
Expect a volcanic set of Scorpions-era classics - “In Trance,” “The Sails of Charon,” “We’ll Burn the Sky,” “Catch Your Train,” and more -performed by the man who wrote them. Add to that rarities from Roth’s vast solo catalogue and you have a night of pure six-string theatre.
If you're unfamiliar, this is the man who helped birth Tokyo Tapes - arguably one of the greatest live albums ever pressed - and whose influence echoes through Metallica, Megadeth, and Malmsteen alike. After replacing Michael Schenker in 1973, Roth didn’t just keep the Scorpions flame alive - he sculpted its future in flame-licked lead.
With over five decades of sonic innovation under his belt, Roth’s performance promises a kind of transcendence.
