KK’s Priest and Accept to Tour North America This Fall
Heavy metal old heads just got a tour they can sink their teeth into, as KK’s Priest and Accept announced earlier today that they’ll be sharing the stage later this year for the ‘Full Metal Assault Tour’.
Set to kick off on August 31 in Los Angeles and coming to a close on October 7 in San Francisco, the 28-date tour will criss-cross the U.S. with a couple stops in Canada along the way. Speaking about the tour, K.K. Downing gave a really grandiose reaction to the tour’s announcement.
“It’s time!!! Let the full European metal assault commence, KK’s Priest / Accept. Not since 1983 have we shared the same battleground. From Germany, from the UK, let the Flying Vs clash, let the metal fly! All in the name of defending our beloved heavy metal music, let the people come from all walks of life to witness the battle royal. There is no doubt that we warriors of metal will give every ounce of our energy and our power in order to deliver up our very finest performance. This is a spectacle not to be missed, and this is possibly the one and only time in history for you to witness this iconic duel. Who will be the victor? You will be the judge, let the music begin from early August to early October… The arena awaits!!”
Similarly, Accept guitarist Wolf Hoffmann touted the tour as a great way for both bands to once again share the same stage, referencing the first time they did so back in the early 80s.
“This tour with KK’s Priest is a dream come true for Accept and for me personally.
“Accept supported Judas Priest back in the early 80s – it was our first ‘real’ international tour and Priest had been a huge influence on us.
“I’m really looking forward to reconnecting with KK on this very special tour. It’s going to be epic! Don’t miss it!”
Tickets will go on sale this Thursday, May 9 at 10 a.m. EST. You can find the full list of dates below.
