Accept 50th Anniversary Tour 2026

On 29 November 2026 at Le Bikini in Ramonville-Saint-Agne, Accept celebrates fifty years of uncompromising heavy metal. Born in Solingen in the late 1970s, the band shaped a direct sound built on razor-sharp riffs, twin guitars and anthemic, shouted choruses. Restless and Wild, Balls to the Wall and Metal Heart set the benchmarks for a songwriting approach that blends crisp melodies, massive harmonies and socially charged themes. After several lineup changes, the 2009 reboot with singer Mark Tornillo launched a run of tightly honed albums, from Blood of the Nations and Stalingrad to Blind Rage, The Rise of Chaos, Too Mean to Die and, most recently, Humanoid in 2024. Led by guitarist Wolf Hoffmann, Accept’s stage set spans those decades, from the speed-driven thrust of their early work to the newer material, while retaining the precise rhythmic attack that is their hallmark. The anniversary tour is conceived as a panorama of their catalogue, from the first classics to recent releases, measuring the breadth of a trajectory that runs from the 1980s to today.
