God Save the Rave is the twentieth studio album by German band Scooter, released on 16 April 2021[1][2][3][4] through Sheffield Tunes and Kontor Records. It is the first studio album featuring Sebastian Schilde, who replaced Phil Speiser in 2019. It is also the first Scooter album not to be released after the usual one year-two year gap, being released almost four years after 2017's Scooter Forever.

Background[]

In April 2019, Scooter officially announced their new member Sebastian Schilde would be replacing Phil Speiser, after Speiser had been with the group since 2014.[5] Their twentieth album was set to be released in the winter of 2020. It would be titled God Save the Rave and include 15 tracks. The album's tour, "The God Save the Rave tour" was originally expected to go ahead in the summer of 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is expected to take place in 2022.[6] In December 2020, the album release date was postponed to 16 April 2021 due to the renewed lockdown.[7]
