Michael Schenker – My Years with UFO 2026
Guitar legend Michael Schenker to perform at Tampere Hall!
Information
Tickets €69.90 / €59.90
Guitar legend Michael Schenker coming to Finland in spring 2026!
The legendary guitarist Michael Schenker will perform in Helsinki, Tampere, and Jyväskylä in March 2026 as part of his successful My Years With UFO 2026 tour. The tour, which began in Central Europe in spring 2025, will continue into early 2026.
Born in Germany, Michael Schenker joined the British hard rock band UFO in late 1973. At only 18 years old, his playing had a decisive impact on the band’s international success, and he soon became one of the most respected guitarists of our time.
Between 1974 and 1978, Schenker released five influential studio albums with UFO, which significantly boosted the band’s popularity. These include Phenomenon (1974) and Lights Out (1977), as well as the live classic Strangers in the Night (1978). Schenker also co-wrote some of UFO’s biggest hits, such as Doctor Doctor, Rock Bottom, and Only You Can Rock Me.
Now, Michael Schenker celebrates 50 years with UFO through his 2024 album My Years With UFO and the accompanying tour, which, due to great demand, continues into early 2026 — including three concerts in Finland.
Founded in 1969, UFO disbanded in 2024. Schenker, who has inspired generations of guitarists, played with the Scorpions before joining UFO and is also known as the founder and frontman of the Michael Schenker Group.
No age limit.
Duration: approximately 3 hours 15 minutes (including an intermission and an opening act to be announced later).
Tour lineup:
Michael Schenker – guitar
RD Liapakis – vocals
Bodo Schopf – drums
Barend Courbois – bass
Steve Mann – keyboards & guitar
