A legendary rock night in June 2026
In summer 2026, Budapest becomes a true rock capital when the legendary German band Scorpions return to the city for a massive arena show. On 20 June 2026, the iconic hard rock group will shake the MVM Dome with their timeless anthems, celebrating an incredible 60-year career with Hungarian fans and visitors from all over the world.
This Budapest date is part of the band’s special anniversary tour, marking six decades of global success, countless concerts around the world and a catalogue of songs that have become part of rock history. For foreign tourists, it is a perfect opportunity to combine a summer trip to Budapest with a classic arena rock show from one of Europe’s most influential bands.
60 years on stage – more than just nostalgia
Formed in the mid-1960s in Hannover, Scorpions have become one of Germany’s most famous cultural exports, standing proudly alongside the country’s best-known brands. Over the decades they have played thousands of concerts on almost every continent, including historic shows behind the Iron Curtain and pioneering performances in China and Southeast Asia. Their career shows how powerful rock music can be as a bridge between cultures and generations.
The band has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and has inspired artists across genres, from alternative rock to metal and punk. Their songs have been covered by many major bands over the years, and hits like Wind of Change, Still Loving You and Rock You Like a Hurricane remain staples on rock playlists and festival stages. Even after 60 years, Scorpions are not just a nostalgia act – they are still a defining live force with a loyal global fanbase.
