In celebration of their 60th anniversary, the legendary Scorpions are releasing a new mix of their debut album Lonesome Crow on February 27.

The album, originally released in 1972 on the Brain label, will be available as strictly limited colored vinyl and digital sleeve CD.

It features a new liner notes interview with Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker.

The Scorpions have announced tour dates in India ahead of their international run.

Band members Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine, and Matthias Jabs spoke with The Hindu about bringing back six decades of hard rock to the country.

Their emergence from West Germany carried a specific historical charge.

In the decades following the Second World War, German bands seeking international recognition faced both practical and symbolic barriers, and the decision to write and perform in English became a crucial step in crossing those borders.

"When we came into a foreign country for the first time," Rudolf recalls, "we immediately felt a great understanding of what we were playing, more so than our home country".

That reception sharpened the message they wanted to carry in post-war Germany.

By the late 1970s and into the 1980s, those messages aligned with a broader shift in rock music, as the genre expanded into arenas and global circuits, and bands like the Scorpions translated heavy riffs into something more melodic and widely accessible.

Their run of albums from Lovedrive through Love At First Sting established a template of sound that could carry both the aggression of hard rock and the emotional pull of ballads.

The band's upcoming dates in India are listed below.
