With a legacy that helped shape the sound of traditional heavy metal, ACCEPT will honor five decades of thunder with a worldwide anniversary tour and a special album featuring re-recorded classics from across their iconic catalog.
Formed in 1975, ACCEPT rose to fame in the ’80s with genre-defining albums like *Restless and Wild*, *Balls to the Wall*, and *Metal Heart*.

To mark the occasion, ACCEPT will launch a massive 50th anniversary world tour, bringing their powerful live show to fans old and new. The setlist promises to span their entire career, celebrating both early anthems and modern-era standouts. The tour will highlight the band’s enduring impact on the heavy metal genre and reaffirm their status as one of metal’s most respected acts.
In addition, the band is releasing a special commemorative album featuring re-recorded versions of fan-favorite tracks. Produced with the current lineup’s signature power and precision, the album is a tribute to their storied past and a gift to longtime fans who have supported them through the decades.
With founding guitarist Wolf Hoffmann leading the charge, ACCEPT remains a formidable force in metal, bridging the classic and modern eras with authority and style. As the band hits this historic landmark, the 50th anniversary promises to be a celebration worthy of their legacy — loud, proud, and unmistakably metal.
