One of the true giants of rock guitar, ULI JON ROTH, is finally bringing his legendary talent to Australian shores. Hardline Media proudly presents Uli’s first-ever Australian tour this September 2025 as part of his “Pictures Of Destiny” World Tour. Fans in Sydney, Adelaide, and Melbourne will witness an unmissable night of classic hard rock and virtuosic guitar mastery.
A pioneer in both neo-classical and progressive guitar styles, Uli will be performing a “Best of the Scorpions” set alongside other iconic tracks from his expansive solo catalogue. This is more than a concert — it’s a celebration of a musician who has influenced generations of guitarists and shaped the sound of hard rock and heavy metal.
🎸 A True Guitar Legend
ULI JON ROTH first rose to prominence as lead guitarist for SCORPIONS, having replaced Michael Schenker in 1973. Between 1974 and 1977, Uli helped craft some of the band’s most important records including:
- Fly To The Rainbow
- In Trance
- Virgin Killer
- Taken By Force
These albums — along with the legendary live release Tokyo Tapes (1978) — are cornerstones in rock history. Uli’s playing on classics like “Sails of Charon”, “In Trance”, and “We’ll Burn the Sky” showcased a groundbreaking blend of melody, complexity, and raw emotion that still inspires musicians today.
