Scorpions Concert: Rock Invasion at Etihad Arena

Scorpions, the legendary German rock band, will be lighting up Etihad Arena, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi on October 21, 2025 as part of their “Coming Home – 60 Years of Scorpions” world tour. This concert marks a much-anticipated return after the band’s previous UAE appearances, bringing decades of iconic hits like “Wind of Change”, “Rock You Like a Hurricane”, and “Still Loving You” to fans in the capital. The event is produced by Live Nation Middle East in collaboration with the Department of Culture & Tourism  Abu Dhabi and Miral.

Fans attending can expect a spectacular visual and auditory experience: the arena will host a full-scale rock production with lighting, sound and stage design befitting a band celebrating 60 years in music. It’s not merely a concert but a milestone event, commemorating Scorpions’ legacy in rock and their continued global relevance. The setlist is expected to blend fan favorites with deeper cuts, offering both nostalgia and surprises.

This concert is more than just entertainment it’s also a showcase of Abu Dhabi’s rising place on the global map for major international events. Hosting a rock icon of this magnitude adds to the UAE’s cultural portfolio and draws international audiences who may combine the concert with cultural, leisure, and tourism experiences across the city and emirate. With the Grand Mosque, Louvre Abu Dhabi, city views, and island escapes all within reach, attendees have the chance to turn their concert visit into a fuller Emirati experience.
