"After their massive sold out arena tour in North America, the band will have to play in Rome on November 9 and thereafter in Milano and Paris," said the Scorpions. "Within the short timeframe between Las Vegas, Seattle and Rome, it unfortunately proved impossible to scale down the arena show and technical equipment needed to perform in a small club in such a way that the musical quality would be guaranteed which is very important to the Scorpions. For this reason the show in Berlin had to be withdrawn and the band would like to apologize for this."
