ACCEPT Reunites: Rock Legends Return with the 2026 Global Tour!
Nearly 20 years after their historic night at London’s O2 Arena in 2007—a one-night-only performance that became etched in rock history—ACCEPT is officially reuniting for a massive 2026 Global Tour. The legendary German heavy metal pioneers are set to electrify audiences around the world, reigniting the fire of classic metal with their signature sound and unmatched stage presence.
According to insiders close to the band, this tour has been in the works for over two years, with founding guitarist Wolf Hoffmann reportedly spearheading the effort to bring the band’s iconic lineup back together. Sources suggest that longtime fans can expect a setlist packed with hits spanning their five-decade career, from early anthems like Fast as a Shark and Balls to the Wall to newer fan favorites that have cemented ACCEPT’s reputation as one of the most consistent forces in metal.
The announcement marks a monumental moment for the rock world, as ACCEPT’s last major reunion show in 2007 sold out within minutes and was immortalized through a live album and concert film. This time, however, the band promises a tour unlike anything they’ve done before. With over 50 dates planned across North America, Europe, Asia, and South America, the group is reportedly preparing an arena-level production that blends old-school heavy metal energy with cutting-edge visuals and stage technology.
Hoffmann expressed his excitement in a recent statement, saying, “This is not just a reunion; it’s a celebration of everything ACCEPT has stood for since the very beginning. We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to deliver the most powerful show our fans have ever seen.”
Speculation is also swirling about possible guest appearances from former members, including legendary frontman Udo Dirkschneider, whose unmistakable vocals helped shape ACCEPT’s sound in the 1980s. While no official confirmation has been given, fans are hopeful for a few surprise collaborations on stage.
Tickets for the 2026 Global Tour are expected to go on sale early next year, with exclusive VIP packages rumored to include meet-and-greets, signed memorabilia, and backstage access. As anticipation builds, one thing is certain: ACCEPT’s return will be a defining event for the next era of heavy metal, bringing together generations of fans for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
