Michael Schenker will be celebrating 50 years in the business, 40 of which as a solo musician, meaning The Michael
Schenker Group will be playing a special 50th Anniversary Show and will take Newark by storm! With his iconic black and white Dean Flying V and what can only be described as a supergroup surrounding him, they will bring a headline show to remember.
Over his extensive career, Schenker is well known for his time in The Scorpions and UFO before
forming the Michael Schenker Group in 1979. Post the iteration of Michael Schenker Fest with two albums in 2018
and 2019, MSG re-formed in 2020 bringing their latest album ‘Immortal’ to our attention early in 2021, even featuring a track by the name of ‘In Search Of The Peace Of Mind' with Schenker himself stating it to be his 50th anniversary celebration song as it holds much meaning, being his very first musical composition at the age of 15.
