COVID-19 strikes again. Accept have postponed their 2022 “Too Mean To Die” European tour due to the worsening pandemic situation throughout Europe. Fear not, Accept are already looking at 2023 to secure venues and book dates. To tide you over in the meantime, they’ve dropped a live digital single for the track “The Undertaker.”
Guitarist Wolf Hoffmann states:
“As much as we want to, the current COVID situation just doesn’t allow us to go forward with this 2022 tour. It’s a super tough call, but we have no choice but to postpone once again. We wanted to play this tour badly. We had a killer setlist prepared with lots of new songs from the ‘Too Mean to Die’ album. I’m very sorry for the fans, and, of course, everybody in the band is very disappointed. But hey, life goes on … Please stay safe, stay metal, and stay ‘too mean to die!’ We’ll see you soonest!”
Promoter Gerald Wilkes of Continental Concerts adds:
“The Accept tour was planned through a total of 16 countries with very different regional infection situations, which are currently changing very quickly and therefore are incalculable for all involved. The legal requirements vary from country to country—even often from city to city. It all looked so promising a few months ago, but the situation right now simply doesn’t allow it! The tour is confirmed for 2023, and tickets remain valid.”
Accept and Nuclear Blast have announced that another limited version (750 copies worldwide) of the hit album Too Mean To Die will be released on silver vinyl (double LP) on February 18, 2022. Preorders are being taken now.
