ACCEPT - DETAILS OF SPECIAL WACKEN OPEN AIR 2017 SHOW REVEALED

"...as a part of a special show at Wacken Open Air, Germany...the set will consist of three parts, which represent the band's creative power:

Part 1 will bring fans a classic Accept set, packed with new and old hits.

Part 2 will present another premiere: Wolf Hoffmann will be playing tracks from his solo album Headbangers Symphony, released in 2016, with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra for the very first time. On this record, Wolf has covered famous opuses by composers such as Beethoven, Vivaldi, and Mozart, in a metal guise.

Part 3 will feature all elements can be seen and heard together: Accept will make the holy Wacken ground shake by sharing the stage with the orchestra, supported by a complex multimedia show.

This unique concert experience will take place on this year's Night To Remember which makes it even more special. The Night To Remember is a celebrated, long-lasting Wacken tradition; for one night of the festival a selection of established bands will do something unique and special with their performance..."

Tell you what. The Germans are an interesting bunch of people. You have an excellent day of metal, and the last act of the day is a character named "Mambo Kurt" who gets up on stage playing a mall organ. I'm not sure if its a testament to Mambo Kurt's musicianship or the German brewmasters' craftsmanship, but the Wacken crowd loved it. Me? Not so much. I'm really happy Glenn hasn't invited Mambo Kurt to close any of the ProgPower dates, instead we have Haken. Metal Church, Mike Portnoy's Shattered Fortress, and Katatonia. Dayum. Has the official countdown begun? We're all ready. The only thing worse than the days leading up to ProgPower is the day after ProgPower.
