In 1988, the Hanoverian pioneers were the first Western rock band to play five consecutive sold-out shows in then Soviet Leningrad. Returning the following year to play the Moscow Music Peace festival, Scorpions ultimately conquered Russia, inspiring frontman Klaus Meine to write the track that became a theme song to the Iron Curtain’s final fall: ‘Wind of Change’.

Travelling to Australia for the first time in the 50-year history of the band, Scorpions will play their debut Australian show at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre on Tuesday October 18.
