The Scorpions, Dokken and the recently reinvented Whitesnake plan to kick off a North American tour in January.  

The Scorpions and Dokken both spent the summer touring. The Dokken tour ended prematurely due to infighting between frontman Don Dokken and members of the band. 

This tour will make the return of Whitesnake. The new lineup from the group features former members David Coverdale(vocals) and Tommy Aldridge(drums), plus guitarists Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach, bassist Marco Mendoza, and keyboardist Timothy Drury.
