Accept Announces Hiatus Amidst 50th Anniversary Celebrations

In a surprising turn of events, German heavy metal legends Accept have announced a temporary hiatus during their 50th anniversary celebrations. The band, known for their relentless touring and recording schedule, cited the need for rest and rejuvenation as the primary reasons for this break.

Guitarist Wolf Hoffmann expressed the band’s desire to take a step back after decades of continuous activity. “After 50 years, it’s essential to pause, reflect, and recharge,” Hoffmann stated. “We owe it to ourselves and our fans to ensure that when we return, we do so with renewed energy and passion.”

The hiatus will affect the latter part of their planned 2025–2026 world tour. While the band had previously announced a unique anniversary tour to commemorate their golden jubilee, this break means that some of the scheduled dates will be postponed or rescheduled. Fans are advised to stay tuned for updates on new tour dates and locations.

Despite the hiatus, Accept remains committed to their legacy. The band is still set to release a special anniversary album in early 2026, featuring re-recorded classics and rare tracks. This album aims to celebrate their rich history and offer fans a fresh perspective on their timeless music.

Accept’s decision to take a break underscores the importance of self-care and the band’s dedication to delivering high-quality performances. While fans may be disappointed by the temporary pause, the promise of a revitalized Accept in the near future offers hope and excitement.
