German rock band Scorpions have arrived in Istanbul ahead of a concert Wednesday as part of their 60th anniversary tour.
The band posted a short video message after landing Monday, greeting fans in Türkiye.
The concert will take place at Beşiktaş Tüpraş Stadium on June 24, as part of the group's "Coming Home" world tour.
Scorpions last performed in Istanbul in May 2024, when they played two shows at Maçka Küçükçiftlik Park.
