Event Details
DIRKSCHNEIDER will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album "Balls To The Wall" with a European tour next year! Live in March in PRAGUE!
DIRKSCHNEIDER. That's a name that means much more than just the second incarnation of U.D.O., the band of master and metal legend Udo Dirkschneider. In this form, the quintet pays tribute to the entire musical history of its iconic singer. As a composer, and even a founder, Udo was, in the 70s, one of the main characters in the success story of ACCEPT. Bassist Peter Baltes, the newest member of U.D.O. / DIRKSCHNEIDER band was also very involved in the creation of ACCEPT. During their time together in ACCEPT, the metal scene-defining and famous record "Balls To The Wall" was created.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the release of this iconic album, DIRSKCHNEIDER will embark on an extensive European tour next spring! This tour will only have one stop in the Czech Republic! In PRAGUE, SaSaZu – March 1st, 2025!
"Balls To The Wall" would be a fitting description for the stage presence of the band, which is completed by the drumming 'clockwork' of Sven Dirkschneider and a talented guitar duo built of Andrey Smirnov and Fabian "Dee" Dammers, too. The band DIRKSCHNEIDER does not want to leave the jubilee, the 40th anniversary of the most famous and best-selling album ACCEPT (released in 1983) unnoticed, so, a bit little late, but still...they will leave in 2025 for this celebration tour across Europe!
Udo looks forward to these prestigious dates: "I really can't wait to revisit the ultimate success album of my band ACCEPT. Topped by sharing the stage with Peter Baltes, performing "Balls To The Wall" in full for all of you out there will be one of my biggest career highlights for sure!"
As if 45 minutes of 'Balls To The Wall' - featuring iconic tracks such as his title track 'London Leatherboys', 'Love Child' or the closing ballad 'Winterdreams' - weren't enough to celebrate, DIRKSCHNEIDER will add another musical surprise to the setlist, arriving with a brand new stage production!
Everything will be perfectly prepared for this beautiful, 40th anniversary of the undeniable milestone of ACCEPT! Metal night 1.3.2025 will be in PRAGUE – SaSaZu, an unforgettable experience for everyone who, like Udo himself, carries metal in his heart!
