Scorpions Announce Las Vegas Residency: Dates and Ticket Information
The legendary rock band Scorpions will return to Las Vegas in 2025 for a residency titled “Coming Home to Las Vegas,” hosted at the Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood. According to iHeartRadio and the band’s official tour schedule, the residency includes five performances scheduled between February 27 and March 11, 2025. The shows celebrate the 40th anniversary of their iconic album Love at First Sting.
When and Where Are the Scorpions Performing?
The Scorpions are set to perform at the Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The residency consists of five dates: February 27, March 1, March 6, March 8, and March 11, 2025. These dates mark the band’s latest return to the Las Vegas strip following previous successful residencies in the city. The venue, formerly known as the Zappos Theater, has hosted a variety of high-profile residencies, positioning the Scorpions among a long list of legacy acts to utilize the space for extended engagements.
What Is the Significance of the 2025 Residency?
The 2025 residency is explicitly tied to the 40th anniversary of Love at First Sting, which was originally released in 1984. The album features some of the band’s most recognizable tracks, including “Rock You Like a Hurricane” and “Still Loving You.” By focusing on this specific era, the band aims to provide a setlist centered on the record that propelled them to global superstardom during the 1980s. This follows a trend of legacy rock acts leveraging milestone anniversaries to drive ticket sales for residency-style formats, which typically offer more elaborate production than standard touring setups.
How Can Fans Secure Tickets?
Tickets for the “Coming Home to Las Vegas” residency are available through Ticketmaster. As is standard for major Las Vegas residencies, prices fluctuate based on demand and seat location within the Bakkt Theater. Fans looking for alternative entry methods may find promotional giveaways through partners like iHeartRadio, which occasionally offer sweepstakes packages that include airfare, hotel accommodations, and concert tickets. Prospective attendees should verify all contest terms directly through official partner websites to avoid unauthorized third-party ticketing scams.
