ACCEPT celebrate their 50th anniversary with a momentous Tour and Album!

 

German heavy metal legends ACCEPT will celebrate their 50th anniversary with a unique anniversary tour at the end of 2025 and a special anniversary album in early 2026. Wolf Hoffmann, a founding member and the band's driving force, has significantly shaped ACCEPT's sound and success since 1976 with his distinctive guitar style.

The anniversary tour will take fans on a journey through the band's history, featuring classic hits, rare songs, and surprise guests. Hoffmann remarked on the honor of celebrating five decades and hinted at the uncertainty of future tours, making this one particularly special.

In spring 2026, the band will release an anniversary album featuring re-recorded classics and rare tracks with surprise musical guests. Hoffmann describes the album as a tribute to the band's journey and loyal fans.

ACCEPT has sold millions of albums and inspired countless musicians with iconic records like "Balls to the Wall," "Restless and Wild," and "Metal Heart." After a hiatus, the band reformed in 2009 with singer Mark Tornillo, achieving global success and solidifying the Hoffmann-Tornillo partnership in metal history. ACCEPT invites the heavy metal community to join in their 50th-anniversary celebrations.
