German heavy metal veterans ACCEPT are entering a bold new chapter in 2025, announcing an expansive European and Middle Eastern tour, a new management partnership, and a host of exciting projects that honor their legacy and look to the future.

The iconic band, formed in Solingen in the late 1970s, has confirmed dates for a 2025 tour that will span multiple countries across Europe and the Middle East. Known for their thunderous live performances and genre-defining albums like Balls to the Wall and Metal Heart, ACCEPT aims to bring their electrifying stage presence to both longtime followers and new fans.

“This tour is a celebration of everything ACCEPT stands for,” said founding guitarist Wolf Hoffmann. “We’re excited to hit the road again, visit places we haven’t played in a while, and connect with our fans across these amazing regions.”

The upcoming tour will feature a career-spanning setlist, incorporating classic anthems alongside newer material. Though full tour dates and venues are yet to be announced, the band has promised stops in key cities and major festivals throughout both continents.

In tandem with their touring plans, ACCEPT has also revealed a new partnership with Adam Parsons Entertainment, marking a significant shift in their management. Parsons, a respected name in the rock and metal world, brings decades of experience guiding the careers of legendary artists. The collaboration is expected to help expand ACCEPT’s global footprint and solidify their place among the pantheon of heavy metal greats.

 

“Working with Adam Parsons is a big step for us,” said Hoffmann. “We’re energized by the new direction and confident that this partnership will open doors as we approach our 50th anniversary.”

 

Speaking of milestones, 2025 will also usher in the highly anticipated release of a full-length documentary titled Restless and Wild: The Accept Story. The film takes its name from the band’s groundbreaking 1982 album and promises an in-depth exploration of ACCEPT’s rich history—from their humble beginnings to their global success, lineup changes, and enduring influence on the metal scene.

 

Restless and Wild will feature never-before-seen archival footage, personal interviews with current and former band members, and testimonials from peers and fans who have been impacted by the band’s legacy. It aims to offer an honest and compelling look at the triumphs, struggles, and evolution of one of metal’s most enduring acts.

 

Rounding out this massive wave of activity is the band’s plan for a special 50th anniversary album, set for early 2026. The album will include re-recorded versions of fan favorites as well as rare and unreleased tracks drawn from the band’s extensive archive. It’s a tribute not only to the band’s longevity but also to the fans who have supported them through every era.

 

“We want to honor our past while still looking forward,” Hoffmann concluded. “This album is for every metalhead who’s been with us since the beginning—and for those just discovering ACCEPT now.”

 

With new music, new management, a new tour, and a cinematic celebration of their journey, ACCEPT is proving that nearly 50 years in, their metal heart still beats as strong as ever.
