ACCEPT Announces World Tour and Anniversary Album Featuring Re-Recorded Classics and Rare Tracks
German heavy metal legends ACCEPT are gearing up for an explosive celebration as they announce a massive world tour and a special anniversary album, marking a significant milestone in their storied career. Known for their pioneering role in shaping European metal, the band is revisiting their roots while charging forward with renewed energy.
The upcoming anniversary album will feature re-recorded versions of ACCEPT’s most iconic songs, breathing new life into classics like “Balls to the Wall,” “Fast as a Shark,” and “Metal Heart.” Fans can also expect a few surprises, including previously unreleased rare tracks from the band’s early sessions, as well as fresh collaborations with special guest musicians from across the metal spectrum.
Guitarist and founding member Wolf Hoffmann shared, “We’ve always believed in the power of our songs to connect generations. This album is our way of celebrating the past while embracing the future. The re-recordings sound bigger, tighter, and more aggressive than ever before — and there are a few deep cuts and curveballs we think longtime fans will really appreciate.”
The world tour, set to kick off in early 2026, will take ACCEPT across Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and Australia. The live set promises a career-spanning journey, with revamped classics, fan favorites, and a few of the newly recorded gems thrown into the mix.
With over four decades of uncompromising metal behind them, ACCEPT continues to prove their relevance and staying power. Between the thunderous live shows and a celebratory studio release, 2026 is shaping up to be one of the band’s most exciting years yet.
Tour dates, album pre-orders, and special edition bundles will be announced soon via the band’s official channels. Get ready — the metal is about to get louder.
