We are thrilled to announce that Uli will return to Metal’s „Holy Grounds“ in Germany from July 29 to August 1, 2026.

This will not be just another concert—it is a celebration of rock history. Uli Jon Roth will perform a special „50th Anniversary of Virgin Killer“ set on the main stage. Joining forces with Special Surprise Guests, the band will unleash a full set of early Scorpions classics.

 

„Sparks Will Fly!“

 

Uli is ready to bring the magic back to Wacken. On this special occasion, he states:

„I’m really looking forward to celebrating the upcoming 50th anniversary of Virgin Killer, which was one of the most important albums I have recorded in my life. We’re joining forces with several very special guests on the Wacken main stage in 2026, and we’ll be playing a full set of early Scorpions classics together. Sparks will fly!“

 

A New Visual Legacy

 

Accompanying this announcement is brand new artwork (pictured). This reimagined visual finally reflects the song’s true lyrical content and deeper meaning—the loss of innocence in a fractured world—capturing the spirit of the music exactly as it was intended.

See you on the Holy Ground!
