Accept

German heavy metal pioneers ACCEPT will celebrate their 50th anniversary live in August 2026, marking a major milestone in the band’s extraordinary five-decade career and offering fans the chance to witness half a century of heavy metal history live on stage.

Cited as an influence by the likes of Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Testament, Anthrax, Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Alice in Chains, and fellow Germans such as Helloween, Blind Guardian, and Sodom, Accept have disbanded and reformed multiple times with lead guitarist Wolf Hoffmann their only original member.
