Accept Announces Massive 50th-Anniversary European Tour for Fall 2026

German heavy metal legends Accept have officially announced a monumental European headlining tour for the fall of 2026 to celebrate a half-century of "Teutonic Terror." The "50 Years of Accept" anniversary trek will see the band performing a career-spanning set, honoring their legacy from their self-titled 1979 debut through to their modern-day triumphs.

The tour is scheduled to kick off in late September 2026 and will cover major cities across Germany, Scandinavia, the UK, France, and Southern Europe. While the band has seen several lineup changes over the decades, founding guitarist and mastermind Wolf Hoffmann promised that the production for this tour will be their most ambitious yet, featuring classic stage elements that fans haven't seen in years.

"Celebrating 50 years of Accept is a milestone we never took for granted," Hoffmann stated. "We want to make this a night to remember for the fans who have stood by us since the beginning, as well as the new generation of metalheads. We are digging deep into the archives to bring back some gems we haven't played in a long time."

Special guests and support acts for the tour are expected to be announced in the coming months. Tickets for the 50th-anniversary dates are set to go on sale to the general public this Friday, with exclusive fan-club presales starting earlier in the week.
