August 2025 – Legendary German heavy metal band Accept is roaring across the globe on a powerful new tour in support of their latest album, “Humanoid,” while also marking an astonishing 50 years of bone-crushing riffs, soaring solos, and genre-defining music.
Formed in 1975 in Solingen, Germany, Accept has become one of the pillars of classic heavy metal, helping shape the sound of the 1980s and influencing countless bands with their razor-sharp guitar work and thunderous rhythms. Now, half a century later, the band shows no signs of slowing down.
Their 2025 tour is not just a celebration of their newest release, “Humanoid”, a hard-hitting, futuristic-themed record packed with aggressive anthems and biting social commentary, but a grand tribute to their legacy. The setlist spans decades, featuring iconic tracks like “Balls to the Wall,” “Fast as a Shark,” “Metal Heart,” and “Princess of the Dawn,” alongside fresh favorites from Humanoid like “Frankenstein,” “Humanoid,” and “Ravages of Time.”
Still Heavy. Still Loud. Still Accept.
Led by founding guitarist Wolf Hoffmann, Accept’s current lineup continues to deliver onstage with precision and raw power. American vocalist Mark Tornillo, who has fronted the band since 2009, remains a fierce force at the mic, bringing grit and fire to both the classic tracks and newer material.
The band’s live shows are nothing short of electric. Packed venues, headbanging crowds, and a stage presence honed over decades make this tour a once-in-a-lifetime event for both longtime fans and new generations discovering Accept’s music.
“Humanoid”: A Modern Metal Statement
Released earlier this year, Humanoid has been hailed as one of Accept’s strongest records in years. Produced by longtime collaborator Andy Sneap (also known for his work with Judas Priest), the album merges traditional heavy metal roots with a contemporary edge, exploring themes of technology, control, and humanity’s place in a changing world.
Critics and fans alike have praised Humanoid for its high-octane energy, classic riffing, and timely lyrics, proving that even after 50 years, Accept is not content to rest on nostalgia, they’re still evolving.
A Golden Milestone In Metal
As they mark their 50th anniversary, Accept stands among a rare group of metal bands to have sustained relevance, creativity, and intensity across five decades. From their early days in post-war Germany to stages around the world, they’ve weathered lineup changes, shifting trends, and industry upheaval, always with an uncompromising commitment to their sound.
In a statement, Wolf Hoffmann reflected on the milestone:
“Fifty years ago, we started as kids who just loved loud music. We never imagined we’d still be doing this five decades later. But metal fans are the most loyal people in the world and we do this for them. ‘Humanoid’ is our thank you, and this tour is our celebration together.”
