Metal Hall of Fame inductees Scorpions w/ Mikkey Dee are set to launch their highly anticipated "Coming Home to Las Vegas" residency this September at PH Live in Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The Scorpions residency marks a significant moment for the legendary German rock act, with multiple dates scheduled throughout the month and tickets currently available for purchase.
The Las Vegas 2026 residency represents the latest chapter for a band that has remained a powerful live draw for decades. With former Motörhead drummer Mikkey Dee anchoring the rhythm section, the Scorpions continue to deliver the hard-hitting performances that have made them one of heavy metal's most enduring acts.
A Legacy Written in Metal
Scorpions w/ Mikkey Dee earned their place in the Metal Hall of Fame through more than five decades of blistering rock anthems and electrifying performances. Formed in Hanover, Germany, the band became international hard rock royalty with classics like "Rock You Like a Hurricane," "No One Like You," and the power ballad "Wind of Change," which became an anthem of political transformation in the early 1990s.
The addition of Mikkey Dee to the lineup brought fresh energy to an already legendary rhythm section. Dee, best known for his 24-year tenure with Motörhead, joined Scorpions in 2016 and has been instrumental in keeping the band's live performances as powerful as ever. His thunderous drumming style meshes perfectly with the twin-guitar attack of Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs, while vocalist Klaus Meine continues to deliver the soaring vocals that defined a generation of metal.
Classic Metal Finds a Home on the Strip
The Planet Hollywood residency underscores the ongoing demand for classic metal acts in Las Vegas. While the city has long hosted pop and rock residencies, the Scorpions' extended run signals the genre's enduring commercial appeal and multigenerational fan base. For fans, the residency format offers an opportunity to experience the band's full catalog in an intimate theater setting, with the production values that only a Las Vegas venue can provide.
With September dates now imminent, the Scorpions are poised to prove once again why they remain one of heavy metal's essential live acts—and why their induction into the Metal Hall of Fame was never in question.
