From the First Sting will be available on multi formats this fall
In celebration of their sixth decade as a band, on September 26th, pioneering German hard rock group Scorpions will release From The First Sting, a thrilling collection the raw energy, unforgettable anthems, and iconic moments from their illustrious career. From The First Sting is the band’s only career-spanning collection and will be available on a deluxe 2 LP/2 CD bookpack and 2 CD format for European and globally, as well as 2 LP vinyl and single CD format for North America via BMG.
During their career, Scorpions viewed their music as a bridge between cultures. They performed in the former Soviet Union, China, and Southeast Asia, thereby fostering international understanding.
Commercially, the band is also one of the best-selling hard rock and heavy metal bands of all time – with over 120 million album sales to their name. From The First Sting is a sonic journey through the band’s timeless hits, from “Rock You Like a Hurricane” to “Wind of Change,” showcasing Scorpions’ evolution while honoring the spirit of their classic sound.
The project features two previously unreleased tracks, “This Is My Song” and “Still Loving You,” the latter of which features British violinist Vanessa Mae. The physical for fans in the Americas comes housed in a carefully crafted 2 LP gatefold vinyl pressed on 180-gram and single CD digi-sleeve, comprehensively illustrating the enduring influence of the pioneering masters of their genre.
Kicking off their 60th anniversary celebration, Scorpions return to the Las Vegas Strip headlining a five-night residency at PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on August 14th. Joined by special guest Buckcherry, the new show follows the band’s two previous sold-out residencies at the venue – Scorpions – Love at First Sting Las Vegas in 2024, and Sin City Nights in 2022.
