Guitar legend and rock visionary Uli Jon Roth celebrates the 50th anniversary of the legendary Scorpions album Virgin Killer in 2026. With his unmistakable playing style and innovative guitar sounds, Uli not only shaped the early work of the Scorpions but also inspired generations of guitarists worldwide.From 1974 to 1978, Roth served as the Scorpions‘ lead guitarist and co-creator of classics such as Fly To The Rainbow, In Trance, and, of course, Virgin Killer, which achieved gold status
worldwide. His virtuosic solos and melodic runs made him one of the most influential guitarists of his time – and a pioneer of neo-classical rock.
The Virgin Killer 50th Anniversary Tour is more than a nostalgic look back: For the first time – and at the same time for the very last time – the complete album Virgin Killer will be performed in its entirety, an event that has never happened before and will never happen again. Uli Jon Roth brings the magic of these epoch-making sounds back to the stage, interpreting them with a masterful virtuosity, and an energy no fan should miss. Touring across Scandinavia, the tour promises unforgettable moments filled with powerful guitar riffs, emotional melodies, and spontaneous improvisations – the kind of inspired performances only an artist of Roth’s caliber can deliver.
And that’s not all – the very first part of the show already delivers a special highlight: with Pictures Of Destiny, Uli Jon Roth presents his current program, opening the evening with fresh musicial vision and artistic depth before turning his full attention to the legendary album Virgin Killer.
