Ugly Kid Joe is ready to trade California sunshine for Nevada neon. The iconic grunge rockers have been tapped to join the legendary Scorpions for their Love At First Sting Residency in Las Vegas next April. This isn’t just any gig – it’s a generational collision between two hard rock titans, promising an unforgettable night of fist-pumping anthems and headbanging bliss.
For vocalist Whitfield Crane, it’s a dream come true. “Klaus and I grew up on the Scorpions,” he gushes. “Lovedrive, Black Out, Animal Magnetism – classics! And of course, Love at First Sting! We’re beyond stoked to share the stage with them in the City of Sin. Vegas, get ready to rock!”
But before they hit the desert for their Sin City showdown, Ugly Kid Joe will be tearing it up across Europe. Their headline tour hits England, Scotland, and beyond in March, offering a potent dose of their own brand of raw energy before they join the Scorpions‘ residency in April.
To celebrate both the European tour and the Vegas announcement, Ugly Kid Joe is unleashing a fresh new video for ‘Bad Seed’. Filmed during their 2023 European trek, the video captures the band’s electrifying live presence and the raw power of the song. It’s a perfect appetizer for the sonic feast that awaits both in Europe and Vegas.
