OK, now that you have won an award from a British magazine and voted by British people maybe now you will do some concerts on BRITISH SOIL

[Guest]

now i was listening to planet rock and they were at the rock awards.they were speaking to klaus and he said they want to come over and play for the fans in the uk.he mentioned the download festival they would like to play therebut things have to be sorted with management .now i know metallica are playing at download playing the black album in full .download is 8-10 june up to press scorpions havent got any thing in the tour on them dates so it looks like we might get a good chance in getting the scorpions over here that could be a chance of the start of a few dates over here so lets see what happens im hoping this happens.i listen to planet rock every day all day so if any thing gets said i let every one know

Thanks for that Sarah Jane. I wouldn't be going to Download for 2 reasons - 1) I don't do festivals any more. 2) I'll be away on holiday when Download is on

I also heard that the Scorps are not interested in a festival in UK unless they are 'headlining', and we all know without major, major promotion that won't be happening.

[Guest]

its 3 days, i know metallica headlining one night and its been anounced black sabbath the original line up from 33 years are gettin together to head line one night so it leaves a night open possibly the scorpions? i did hear klaus on in view they would like to to do download.im not big on festivals as im disabledbut if this happens and they dont do any more dates in uk im going

[Aslan]

Tickets for Download go on sale this Friday Nov. 18th at 9.00.....

Metallica on Saturday night and Black Sabbath on Sunday....so that leave Friday without a headlining act....

[Miklos]

Hopefully Metallica will play more than the one gig in the UK next year because I would love to see them play the 'Black Album' track for track
Also, I'll be flying back from Spain whilst they are playing at Download. Which means I'd also be unavailable if the Scorps DO headline Friday (not that I'd be going if I was available ....)

Good news for Britain as well, hopefully this will help to have them back in UK again,
Congratulations !!!!

This is a quote from an interview Klaus did for the Classic Rock Magazine

Here’s the million dollar question: The band’s Final Sting farewell tour has already run for nearly two years, without any British dates. This situation must change before it finishes. What’s going on?

Meine: Of course we want to come back to the UK, and many fans have come to our website to say: ‘Scorpions, come on. You can’t do a farewell tour without playing in Britain’. That’s true. Our dream would be to part of the Download Festival next year. That would be fantastic. Our management is working hard to put us back on the UK map because we know we have many fans in this country and it’s been too long since we played here.
