German heavy metal pioneers ACCEPT will celebrate their 50th anniversary with an extensive European tour in late 2026, marking a major milestone in the band’s extraordinary five-decade career at the forefront of heavy metal.
The newly announced dates form part of ACCEPT’s 50th Anniversary Tour, comprising 24 headline shows across 11 European countries.
The tour will see the band bring half a century of metal history to stages across Europe, performing for fans in major cities throughout Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic.

Guitarist Wolf Hoffmann says:
„It’s incredible to be celebrating 50 years of ACCEPT, and taking this anniversary tour across Europe makes it even more special. The support from our fans over the decades has been overwhelming, and we can’t wait to bring these shows to so many countries and celebrate this milestone together.“

Special guests on the tour will be Swedish metallers DYNAZTY and UK upand-comers TAILGUNNER.

Tickets go on general sale on Friday, 27 February at 10 am CET.

Since joining ACCEPT in 1976 at the age of just 16, Wolf played a central role in the band. His instantly recognisable and signature guitar style not only created the ACCEPT ’sound‘ but influenced a plethora of other highly successful bands and guitarists. Because of Wolf’s unflinching dedication, ACCEPT has become one of the most significant bands in heavy metal. Not only did he lay the musical foundations for the band, he also carried it through both the highs and lows of an extraordinary 50-year career.

Alongside the anniversary tour, ACCEPT will release a special 50th anniversary album later this year, featuring newly re-recorded classics, rare tracks and guest appearances.
