ACCEPT Announces 2026 Farewell Tour: “One Last Ride”
The end of an era is upon us as German heavy metal legends ACCEPT officially announce their final tour, “One Last Ride,” set to roar across the globe in 2026. Marking an incredible 50-year legacy, this farewell tour will serve as both a grand celebration and a heartfelt goodbye to generations of loyal fans.
Kicking off in late 2025, the tour will begin in Europe, storming through iconic cities such as Berlin, Paris, London, and Madrid. ACCEPT promises a powerful, career-spanning setlist featuring rare deep cuts, timeless classics like “Balls to the Wall,” “Fast as a Shark,” and “Metal Heart,” along with electrifying surprises—including guest appearances from past collaborators and metal icons.
The band is crafting a stage show unlike anything fans have seen before, blending high-tech visuals with raw, old-school metal energy. It’s a fitting tribute to a group that helped shape the genre and carried the torch for traditional heavy metal through decades of change.
After Europe, ACCEPT will continue their world conquest with stops across North and South America, Asia, and Australia, ensuring fans on every continent get one final chance to witness their legendary power live.
As founding guitarist Wolf Hoffmann put it, “This is more than a tour—it’s our thank you to the fans who’ve kept us alive for five decades.”
“One Last Ride” is more than a concert series—it’s a heavy metal milestone. For those who’ve ever raised their fists to an ACCEPT anthem, this is the moment to ride along one last time.
