German hard rock legends the SCORPIONS have announced more North American dates on their Get Your Sting And Blackout farewell world tour: Monday, August 9th they hit Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium in Calgary, AB and on August 10th the band perform at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton, AB. Tickets go on sale this Friday, May 28th.

“I wished for a lot in the beginning,” says Rudolf Schenker. “I envisioned myself to be part of one of the 30 best rock bands in the world. By now, we’ve been on stage with AEROSMITH and KISS, with METALLICA, AC/DC and I don’t know who else who we’ve been fascinated by--even with the BERLIN PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA. Now we’re on the most spectacular tours of our career. It’s crazy; I never thought we would make it this long. I have accomplished more than I had envisioned.”
