Dirkschneider 'Balls To The Wall' - 40th Anniversary Tour

DIRKSCHNEIDER will perform in Tallinn in March

On March 9 2025, DIRKSCHNEIDER will bring the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the iconic Accept album "Balls To The Wall" to Tallinn, Estonia. The show will take place in club Helitehas and tickets will be on sale on July 1 at 10AM in Piletilevi.

DIRKSCHNEIDER is a name that stands for far more than a simple second incarnation of U.D.O., the band with Udo Dirkschneider. In this form, the quintet pays tribute to the musical history of their legendary singer. As songwriter and even founder in the '70s, Udo was one of the main characters of the ACCEPT success story. Bass player Peter Baltes, the newest member of the U.D.O. / DIRKSCHNEIDER family, also contributed a lot to Accept’s scene defining works, and during their common time in Udo's band, an album titled "Balls To The Wall" came to be.

"Balls To The Wall" would be a fitting description for the stage presence of the band, which is completed by the drumming 'clockwork' of Sven Dirkschneider and a talented guitar duo built of Andrey Smirnov and Fabian "Dee" Dammers, too. What luck that the 40th anniversary of the mentioned studio album, which was originally released in late 1983 and which is the most sold and best known by ACCEPT, recently fell into the current U.D.O. / DIRKSCHNEIDER heyday. Of course the band don't want to leave this jubilee unnoticed: that's why DIRKSCHNEIDER are pleased to announce a full "Balls To The Wall" tour in belated celebration of the iconic album for spring 2025!

Udo looks forward to these prestigious dates: "I really can't wait to revisit the ultimate success album of my band ACCEPT. Topped by sharing the stage with Peter Baltes, performing "Balls To The Wall" in full for all of you out there will be one of my biggest career highlights for sure!"

As if 45 minutes of "Balls To The Wall" -delivering cult tracks such as its title song, 'London Leatherboys,' 'Love Child,' or album closing ballad 'Winterdreams' - aren't enough to celebrate, DIRKSCHNEIDER will also add additional musical surprises to the set list and even return with a fresh stage production. Everything is set to commemorate the 40th anniversary of this undeniable ACCEPT milestone and to ensure that these nights will be unforgettable celebrations for every metalhead.

Ticket to the show on March 9 in club Helitehas in Tallinn will be available in the entire Piletilevi network from July 1 at 10AM.
