SCORPIONS have postponed their 2026 Las Vegas residency at PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, pushing the eight-show run to September 2027. Live Nation announced the change on Wednesday and said the band is looking forward to returning to Las Vegas next year.
The move affects Scorpions - Coming Home To Las Vegas, which had been set for September 17 through October 3, 2026, with special guest Buckcherry. The new dates are September 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 21, 23, and 25, 2027, turning what had been a late-2026 residency into a full-year delay for ticket holders.
The postponement lands because readers have already seen this band work through repeated schedule changes. SCORPIONS began their 60th-anniversary tour in March 2025 in Mexico, Brazil and Chile after their February 2025 Las Vegas kickoff was delayed during Mikkey Dee's recovery from sepsis. In May 2025, the group later canceled some South America concerts after Klaus Meine came down with a respiratory infection.
That history is why Klaus Meine matters here. The 78-year-old frontman told Rolling Stone India in April 2025 that the band still had that upbeat feeling, still enjoyed what it was doing and was still very grateful to be there. He said the fans kept giving them energy back, even as the years went on. The latest postponement does not explain what the unforeseen circumstances are, only that the band has once again been forced to reset a live plan that had already been moved before.
For now, the immediate answer is simple: the Las Vegas residency is not gone, just shifted. Live Nation says the band is extremely disappointed but expects to return in September 2027, and the show is now locked to those eight dates. The unanswered part is whether the rhythm of these delays has become the story around SCORPIONS as much as the residency itself.
