The Scorpions have announced that they will be launching a North American tour this summer, featuring special guests Whitesnake.

The new leg of the Rock Believer World Tour will be kicking off on August 21st in Toronto, ON at the Budweiser Stage and will conclude on October 21st in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay.  Swedish rockers Thundermother will serve as opening act on this run of shows.

Frontman Klaus Meine had this to say, “After the amazing start we’ve had with our residency in Las Vegas, it’s about time to come back for a real tour to rock the U.S. like a hurricane again. We can’t wait to see all you Rock Believers out there!”   Whitesnake’s David Coverdale added, “Once Again It’s Time To Feel The Sting Of The Scorpions & The Bite Of The Whitesnake!!! Can’t Wait!!!”
