The long-awaited live album from Dirkschneider‘s Back To The Roots Tour will be released on October 28th as 2-CD Digipak and Gatefold  triple Vinyl in 4 different colours (black, gold, silver and clear) via AFM Records.

During the tour metal 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 eighties. “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“.

Due to extremely high requests from fans and promoters Udo will continue touring until the end of 2016 and beyond. After the triumph all over Europe in spring 2016, the band will tour in Israel and Japan, and then touring the US, Russia and Europe in the (Northern) Autumn and winter of 2016.

The album LIVE – Back To The Roots was recorded at the sold out show at Kaminwerk in Memmingen on April 2nd, 2016.
