Scorpions in Beirut

The world-renowned German rock band Scorpions performed in Lebanon in 2018.

More than 15,000 Lebanese fans rocked to the sounds of the German band "Scorpions" at a recent concert in the Beirut Forum. The Beirut show, part of a world tour of the United States, Southeast Asia, Russia, Australia, South America, and Europe, was rare in the Arab world. "This show is by far the biggest musical production ever done in Lebanon...This event shows that winds of change are always somewhere over Beirut," said Nagi Bazz, whose Buzz Productions has contracted the "Scorpions" and other bands that have played in Beirut in the past few years.
