From Metal Rules:

Q-What kind of touring plans Scorpions have for this album?

KM-Since the album was released first in Europe we wanted to start here so America comes later this year or next year depending on the tour. But it was released here first and we wanted to start here in the summer and then go to South America and then to Canada and then I think there might be a couple shows in the US. Probably then we would do Asia next year. There might be some Asian dates in November but I’m not sure?

So there is still hope of a full USA Tour for Humanity!!!!
