For tour dates and tickets visit With kind permission by Jayne Andrews, Holger Stratmann & Thomas Kupfer. Pioneering German Heavy Metallers ACCEPT made one of their most triumphant carrier comebacks in 2014 with the release of their highly successful fourteenth studio album Blind Rage. After taking a 15 year hiatus, the band returned with a sensational album that debuted at #1 in Germany and Finland which was the first time in the bands 36 year career. To keep the momentum from the record going, the band toured relentlessly across the world pushing the envelope at every show and keeping true to their roots which has cemented them as one of the pioneers of heavy metal. Before they embark on the next chapter of the band, writing new material, the band accepted invites to play two special US shows. On March 3rd, ACCEPT are heading to Sioux Falls to play at Badlands then make their way to The Arcada Theatre in St Charles, Illinois on March 5th! “After touring so much, we thought it would be great to have a long break to write songs,” commented guitarist and main songwriter Wolf Hoffman. “But than – we changed our minds and thought – it would be great to do a few shows – just to stay sharp and keep up with the cool dynamics between us! May be – we just need to get hot and sweaty on stage again. See ya all very soon!” Upon the completion of the US dates, ACCEPT will cross the Atlantic to play in Austria then make their way to South America where they will play in Argentina followed by five dates in Brazil!
