The legendary Scorpions back in Cyprus

A week away from the concert, the Spyros Kyprianou Athletic Centre is nearly sold out for The Scorpions – known for such heavyweights as Winds of Change, Rock You Like a Hurrican and Still Loving You – but there are still some tickets available. This is not the first time the band has performed in Cyprus, they rocked the island in 2004 and again in 2006 playing to 10,000 people in Nicosia and 7,000 in Limassol. Since then, no other band of a similar caliber has held a show on the island.

With more than 100 million records sold to date and songs hitting the top spot in charts around the world, there is no doubt The Scorpions are considered “Continental Europe’s most successful rock band.”

The band is flying to Cyprus on three planes, bringing tons of equipment with them to be able to provide a show to remember on island.

Bus transfers are available to work around the small parking place at the venue, with returns from Limassol costing €10, from Paphos and Larnaca €30, from Nicosia €35 and from Ayia Napa/Protaras €40. To book contact 97-632925 or [email protected]

Doors will open at 6pm and Milmars band will open the show at 7pm before The Scorpions take the stage at 8pm. There will be no indoor smoking and the concert is better suited to children above 10 years old.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
