Michael Schenker: "My Years With UFO" w/ Jared James Nichols

Guitar legend Michael Schenker celebrates the 50th anniversary of his time with UFO live on tour.

When he joined UFO at the end of 1973, the then 18-year-old Michael Schenker contributed significantly to the British rock band’s international mega-success and rose from being “the German Wunderkind” to becoming one of the most renowned guitarists of our time, who continues to influence entire generations of musicians around the world with his legendary guitar playing.

During his time with UFO from 1974-1978, known as the “Schenker era”, Michael Schenker released five groundbreaking studio albums such as “Lights Out” (1977) and “Phenomenon” (1974) and the live album “Strangers In The Night” (Live in Chicago 1978), which is still considered groundbreaking today, and is jointly responsible for world hits such as “Doctor Doctor”, “Rock Bottom” and “Only You Can Rock Me”.

Michael Schenker is not only celebrating the 50th anniversary of his time with UFO with new editions of the best UFO songs of that time period with many guest stars on recordings, but will also be embarking on a major European tour with his backing band in 2025.

The “My Years With UFO” tour spans various countries all over Europe and starts on April 9, 2025 in the Netherlands. From April 10, 2025, you can experience the guitar virtuoso, probably the most famous “Flying V” player in the world, live in Germany with the biggest hits and classics of his UFO era.
