Scooter – famed for tracks including How Much Is The Fish and The Logical Song – will play eight dates as part of the UK and Ireland leg of their Thirty, Rough and Dirty! tour.

It also follows the release of the band’s 21st studio album, with the quirky title Open Your Mind And Your Trousers.

Tour organisers promise an “unforgettable party and celebration” including “hits old and new.

SCOOT ON

Scooter comprises of frontman H. P. Baxxter as well as musician and producer Marc Blou, DJ and producer Jay Frog as well as manager Jens Thele.

Since the band was created in Hanover 30 years ago, the Waste Your Youth stars have clocked up 23 top 10 singles.

Their new album has already reached number two in the German charts, as well as in the UK Dance Charts.

SOMETHING FISHY?

Their release How Much Is The Fish was even the official song for the France 98 World Cup.

At the time, US chat show host Jimmy Fallon uploaded a video to YouTube requesting to know the exact fee for the fish.

H.P then replied with his own video clip, spilling all the tea as he soaked up the sunshine in Ibiza.

He said: “We bought the fish for the aquarium in our studio, but it was finally too loud.

“Now it lives in the countryside in an animal residence.”

He added: “We are still in close contact, something like pen friends.

“And about the price, it was three-eighty [dollars], wicked, thank you.”

Fans can get their hands on tickets for the new tour this week.

Pre-sale is available from April 10 at 10am.

The general sale will follow on April 12 at 10am via LiveNation.

VIP packages are also available.
