Although the Scorpions just ended a 38-show tour of North America on August 21st in Chicago, the band are now booking more U.S. dates for next summer. The group's 2011 tour will allow the band to play cities they did not get a chance to perform in on this most recent run.
The band is now on a brief break and will resume its "Get Your Sting And Blackout World Tour 2010" tour on September 4th in Mexico before heading back to Europe, with dates confirmed through November 27th in Germany.
The farewell tour by the iconic band is in support of their latest album, "Sting In The Tail" (Universal Music Enterprises).
The Scorpions' tour — in celebration of 40-plus years in music— has been a massive success in a soft touring economy, with the group filling many of the arenas they performed at in the United States and Canada.
In a recent interview with Billboard's Ray Waddell, Meine said, "What can I say? It's a celebration… We feel we owe it to our fans and ourselves to keep this energy level. What we pull off every night on this tour, we want to keep it that way to the very last show. We don't want to see ourselves rocking like a hurricane when it's not a hurricane anymore."
