UDO IN CELEBRATION MOOD Udo Dirkschneider celebrates 2027 Triple Anniversary! 75 – 40 – 20 is the magic formula: The German metal legend turns 75, his band U. D. O. is 40 years old, and in the anniversary year, they release their 20th album. With the "Three Times Anniversary Tour," U. D. O. will come to Pratteln in January to celebrate a big party with Swiss fans. Udo Dirkschneider was originally supposed to follow in his father's footsteps and take over the family tool factory in Wuppertal. But as his musical commitment grew, he had to decide at a young age: "Take over the company, or go insane – so I went insane." Luckily for all metal fans. With his bands Accept, U. D. O., and Dirkschneider, the singer has written music history over the past five decades and has become the epitome of the Teutonic metal frontman. Since the 80s, his distinctive voice has shaped countless metal classics. Udo is a true icon of the genre, constantly redefining his story. So will it be in 2027. A big year for the musician, because Udo will celebrate his 75th birthday on April 6. The best gift he gives himself right away. With his band U. D. O., he will release – just in time for the tour start – the twentieth studio album since the band was founded in 1987. The "Three Times Anniversary" release tour will bring Udo and his fellow musicians once again to us at Z7 in January. One thing is clear: when Dirkschneider stands on our stage, it will be hymn-like, brazen, and overwhelmingly authentic. For the last U. D. O. gig with the top-ten album "Touchdown," Tinu from Metal Factory wrote: "They came, played, and tore the house apart. It was a great evening for an old-timer band that still has a lot to say in metal." Participants: U. D. O.
