During the tour rock legend Udo Dirkschneider was presented a "Sold Out"-Award for the extremely successful DIRKSCHNEIDER tour, where 31 out of 48 Europe shows were sold out! "It's unbelievable, I never expected this tour to be so overly successful", Udo comments, "It's beautiful to see how many people walk with me on my personal way of saying goodbye to the ACCEPT chapter." The singer with the charismatic voice had his musical breakthrough with ACCEPT in the early 80s. "It's still so much fun to sing these songs live, they are a part of my biography, but nevertheless it's about time to turn that page. There was so much talking and speculations about me and ACCEPT, so this is kind of a musical statement from my end - which seems to be very interesting for the fans who came to these shows".
