The performance appears on the band’s upcoming live album
The Scorpions have released the video for “Blackout (Coming Home Live),” the first taste of the group’s upcoming live album, Coming Home Live.
The live version conveys the power, the virtuosity, and the epic moments of July 5th, when the band performed and recorded a magical concert on the stage of the Hanover Stadium to a crowd of 45,000 enthusiastic and adoring fans.
While the group has performed countless times in huge stadiums around the world, July 5th marked the first time the legendary rockers performed a stadium concert in Germany and in the hometown of Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker, and Matthias Jabs, marking its 60th anniversary.

In September, the group will release From The First Sting, a thrilling collection of raw energy, unforgettable anthems, and iconic moments from their illustrious career. 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.
The band, which has sold over 120 million albums globally, will be profiled in the highly anticipated biopic, Wind of Change, due this fall via Fox Entertainment Studios in association with Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. It tells the story of a band united by their passion for music, who sought to inspire change in the world through their powerful sound and meaningful lyrics. At the heart of the film is their iconic anthem “Wind of Change,” which became the soundtrack to the end of the Cold War, symbolizing hope, peace and unity. Through their music, with hits ranging from “Rock You Like a Hurricane” to “Still Loving You,” the Scorpions helped bridge the divide between East and West, leaving an indelible mark on history and proving the transformative power of art.
