For 20 years now FKP Scorpio has made it its job to send artists "on the road". The tour business started in 1990 with “New Wave” icon Anne Clark - with fortunately - 20 sold-out shows on her tour. Many others have followed in her footsteps now – and shows have been organized in small club venues or entire stadiums, and of course everything in between. We see bands and artists as individuals at FKP Scorpio, and all our artists are correspondingly well cared for. We always look for the optimal solution for all parties involved. Long-term relationships and sustainable success are more important to us than a "one-tour-wonder". Over the last years, many hopeful newcomers were accompanied by us on their tours while climbing up the stairs of success: Ed Sheeran, Placebo, James Blunt, Billy Talent, The Kooks and Wolfmother are just some of them.
FOO FIGHTERS
The self-titled and platinum-winning debut by the Foo Fighters in 1995 established the band as a serious force in the musical genre Indie Rock; the double platinum album "The Colour and the Shape" proved that their success was not a coincidence. Over the years, the Foo Fighters were able to garner more and more and more fans, and they have been able to fill the largest arenas in the world, such as Wembley Stadium, the L.A. Forum, and Madison Square Garden in New York. Hits like "The Pretender," "Best of You", "All My Life", "Times Like These", "Learn To Fly", "Everlong", "Monkeywrench" and many others have now already become jewels of Rock.
JAMES BLUNT
ED SHEERAN
If you're looking for superlatives and records in music, Ed Sheeran is certainly not to be missed. The 28-year-old singer/songwriter is anything but the typical cliché of superstar with a lot of airs and graces. Even on a gigantic stage, in front of tens of thousands of fans, he remains the nice guy from next door, with whom you can meet later for a beer. Those who have seen Ed Sheeran live will confirm that there really is something magical about the ease with which he manages to give even the biggest open airs an almost intimate club atmosphere. As a guest at his concerts you actually have the feeling that Ed Sheeran only sings for you.
MUMFORD AND SONS
"In the last five years we played so many concerts. We constantly bathed in surges of adrenaline and gave 1000 %. Now we need more and more. That’s why „Babel" is such a fantastic and again typical album of Mumford & Sons. Everything is there, just like the previous album: The multi-instrumental arrangements, the creaking singing, the high art of songwriting, the wild mix of Folk, Bluegrass and a little Rock. And now, since the record is released, it goes on: "And now we've finished it we can get touring again," says banjo player Winston Marshall, "which is what we set out to do when we started the band. Back to business."
