Michael Schenker Group joins Midalidare Rock In The Wine Valley 2025. Michael Schenker is celebrating his 50th anniversary, and promises a great show with music from his latest album “My years with UFO”, released last September. Michael Schenker Group will play on Saturday, 12th of July.
The world of rock guitar has always been illuminated by a few virtuosic stars who shine brighter than the rest, and among them, Michael Schenker stands out as a comet blazing across the night sky. His tenure with the British hard rock band UFO during the 1970s remains one of the most celebrated periods in the annals of rock, elevating UFO from underground sensations to rock legends.
In 2024, Michael Schenker celebrated those glory days with his new album “My years with UFO”, alongside today’s rock elite. In 2025, the celebration continues with live shows presenting the album.
Produced by Michael Schenker and Michael Voss, the new album marks the 50th anniversary of Schenker's era with UFO, spanning from 1972 to 1978. The ‘German Wunderkind’ was asked to join UFO at just 17 years old. Touring the globe as a teenager, Schenker became a driving force behind some of UFO's most loved tracks, such as “Doctor Doctor”, “Rock Bottom” and “Only You Can Rock Me”.
The stellar roster of guest artists in the latest album includes Axl Rose, Slash, Kai Hansen, Roger Glover, Joey Tempest, Biff Byford, Jeff Scott Soto, John Norum, Dee Snider, Joel Hoekstra, Joe Lynn Turner, Carmine Appice, Adrian Vandenberg, Michael Voss, Stephen Pearcy, and Erik Grönwall.
