Hardline Media are proud to announce for his first time in Australia, the legendary, iconic, internationally influential and multi-million record-selling artist, ULI JON ROTH, on his Best of Scorpions + more World Tour. Uli will be performing a best of the SCORPIONS set, amongst other songs from his extraordinary catalogue.
More than 50 years into his amazing career, German guitar innovator ULI JON ROTH will perform 3 shows in Australia in September. SYDNEY, ADELAIDE, MELBOURNE, get ready for a very special night of Classic Hard Rock.
Uli, of course, was an extremely important member in the history of one of the biggest-selling bands of all time, SCORPIONS. After replacing MICHAEL SCHENKER in 1973, SCORPIONS released four studio albums during ULI’s tenure as lead guitarist, main songwriter and occasional lead singer between 1974 and 1977. These albums include Fly To The Rainbow, In Trance, Virgin Killer, Taken By Force as well as their gold-selling double live album, Tokyo Tapes, in 1978. These albums are all heralded in the history of Rock and Metal, with Tokyo Tapes being touted as one of the greatest live albums of all time.
Since his time in SCORPIONS, Uli has had a very colourful career, with most of the 1980’s filled up with his band ELECTRIC SUN, followed by a long line of varied projects – from G3 at Wembley Arena with JOE SATRIANI, MICHAEL SCHENKER and BRIAN MAY, to composing four symphonies, two concertos and performing with symphony orchestras throughout Europe. Let’s not forget June 2007 in Germany, when Roth joined THE SMASHING PUMPKINS on-stage for their epic closing song Gossamer. He made another appearance with the Pumpkins upon their return to Germany on 26 February 2008, and a short documentary was made called Corgan und Uli Jon Roth.
Don’t miss out on this rare occasion to experience ULI JON ROTH performing such classics as In Trance, We’ll Burn The Sky, Fly To The Rainbow, The Sails Of Charon, Pictured Life, Catch Your Train, and many, many more. GENERAL PUBLIC TICKETS ON SALE: TUESDAY 24TH JUNE @ 10AM AEST
