MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP will celebrate the 30th anniversary at 'Sweden Rock Festival' set to take place on June 9-12, 2010 in Sölvesborg. Sweden. This is the official announcement:

"It is now 30 years since German guitar-hero Michael Schenker released the eponymous debut of the MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP. This made him a third time creator of hard-rock history, after co-founding SCORPIONS and elevating Brits UFO to superstardom. Now Schenker is about to enter the stage to celebrate the 30[sup]th[/sup] anniversary of "Armed and Ready", "Cry For The Nations" and the rest of the classics on MSG's debut. By his side we find two more band-members from that era: drummer Simon Phillips (JUDAS PRIEST, Mike Oldfield, Ian Gillan, TOTO) and not least vocalist Gary Barden. Schenker's trusted associate Wayne Findlay Neil Murray (WHITESNAKE, GARY MOORE, BLACK SABBATH, Brian May). A formidable dream team for any fan of traditional melodic hard rock."
