The Scorpions rocking Dubai Festival City
After a meeting with the event organiser at the Dubai Festival City I had a chance to see the final preparations for the Dubai concert.
Another sunny day in Dubai with temperatures exceeding 40+ C.
By 07.00 PM the crew is ready to rock 'n roll.
The Scorpions played to an exited crowd on Thursday night, May 22nd. at the Festival City, continuing to head bang until the wee wee hours.
The concert which began promptly at 10pm included all the old favourites such as, 'Are you the one?' and 'Rock you like a hurricane,' as well as their most recent hit, 'Humanity,' after which the tour was named.
Having been rocking since the mid-sixties, (Klaus Meine turns 60 this week!)the band's sound and members seemed as fresh as ever playing to the crowd with their rock and roll antics at every opportunity.
The event attracted a broad audience with all ages being well represented. Some came from as far away as Iran specifically to see their favourite band.
It appears the spirit of rock is alive and well in Dubai.
