Michael Schenker MSG feat. Robin McAuley

On November 8, 2026, Michael Schenker arrives at Santana 27 in Bilbao with his Michael Schenker Group and guest vocalist Robin McAuley. Founded in London in 1979 after his stints with Scorpions and UFO, MSG has always revolved around Schenker’s guitar: crisp riffs, clear melodies and carefully worked solos, with a changing lineup in which he is the constant. That approach translates into a heavy-leaning hard rock in which the song rests on rhythm guitar and melodic phrasing, without excess or gratuitous pyrotechnics.

Robin McAuley’s presence links directly to the McAuley Schenker Group era of the late ’80s and early ’90s, bringing a powerful, precise vocal line that fits the project’s melodic DNA. Live, MSG typically spans the group’s various phases, from the early albums with Gary Barden to the relaunches of the ’90s and 2000s, maintaining a common thread: clear structures, punchy choruses and guitar work that underpins every track. This date in Bilbao brings Schenker and McAuley together around that repertoire, with room to revive key moments from different incarnations of the band and to put the focus on what has always defined MSG: solid songs and a guitar that leads the show.
