Well I've seen that sentence in wiki; an article about a rock band called Scorpions. I'm a little bit confusing on the verb used in this sentence. Scorpions opened for upcoming band UFO. What does that mean? What is opened by Scorpion? That sentence is about one of the tour of the band. So I'm really eager to know what is opened by Scorpions for UFO. Thank you.

  • I don't believe in UFOs. Did the crowd have to wait long?

The concert. Scorpion opened the concert.
