Watch: SCORPIONS Joined On Stage By Finnish Crossover Classical Concert Violinist LINDA LAMPENIUS
Scorpions were joined by Finnish violinist Linda Lampenius during their 28 July concert at Helsinki’s Veikkaus Arena, where she performed on “Send Me An Angel” and “Wind Of Change”. The guest appearance paired the veteran German rock band with a prominent crossover classical musician and formed part of their continuing 60th-anniversary touring activity.
Lampenius, also known as Linda Brava, has a career spanning classical and crossover music and recently represented Finland at Eurovision 2026 with Pete Parkkonen. Scorpions began their anniversary tour in March 2025 after postponing a planned Las Vegas residency because drummer Mikkey Dee was recovering from sepsis; some South American dates were later cancelled when singer Klaus Meine developed a respiratory infection. Meine, 78, has said the band remains motivated to tour despite recognising its future time on the road is limited.
In short
- Linda Lampenius joined Scorpions on stage in Helsinki.

Explained simply
Scorpions are a German rock band that has been performing since the 1960s and are currently marking their 60th anniversary with a world tour. The band, fronted by 78-year-old singer Klaus Meine, achieved worldwide recognition and remains active in touring despite the advancing age of its members.
Linda Lampenius is a Finnish musician who performs both classical violin and crossover music, a genre that combines classical technique with contemporary styles. She recently represented Finland at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2026 with Pete Parkkonen.
Scorpions' anniversary tour has faced some disruptions, with drummer Mikkey Dee recovering from sepsis in early 2025 and singer Meine later developing a respiratory infection, which caused several dates to be rescheduled or cancelled. Members of the band have acknowledged that their touring years are becoming limited, making this milestone celebration particularly significant to the group.
