Few guitarists have left a mark on rock quite like Michael Schenker, and this show is a heartfelt celebration of the songs and solos that made him a legend. Expect a night built around the classic tracks and fan favourites drawn from right across his remarkable career, delivered with the energy and spirit that made his playing so thrilling to hear live.
Born in Germany in 1955, Schenker first made his name as an early member of Scorpions before joining UFO, where his lead guitar helped shape enduring classics such as "Rock Bottom" and "Doctor Doctor". He later returned to Scorpions for the album Lovedrive (1979) before launching the Michael Schenker Group, cementing his reputation as one of the most influential guitarists of his generation. Instantly recognisable with his black-and-white Gibson Flying V, he has long been hailed as a true giant of metal guitar. This tribute brings that iconic catalogue roaring back to the stage for a night to remember.
