Love at First Sting Residency

On Friday (Nov. 3), the band revealed, “Scorpions are returning to Bakkt Theater for ‘Love at First Sting Las Vegas,’ a brand new exclusive headlining residency show in celebration of the 40th anniversary of their iconic album, Love at First Sting, performing the album and all of their biggest hits April 11–May 3.”

Love at First Sting is often cited as an influential album in the development of hard rock hair metal as it came to fruition in the 1980s. The effort’s combination of heavy guitar riffs, melodic hooks and powerful ballads influenced many rock bands that followed.

Love at First Sting spawned the hard rock staples “Rock You Like a Hurricane,” “Still Loving You” and “Big City Nights.” Scorpions’ latest LP, their 19th, Rock Believer, arrived in 2022.
