For those unfamiliar with U.D.O, they are a German heavy metal band founded by lead vocalist Udo Dirkschneider in 1987. With a unique voice endowed for more than 40 years, Dirkschneider already delights real metal and hard rock fans around the world, making himself one of the brightest stars of the German heavy metal music scene. In the end of 70’s and in the beginning of 80’s, the world got to know him as co-founder and vocalist of rapidly growing band Accept. Accept achieved its commercial success with their fifth studio album Balls to the Wall (1983), which spawned their most well-known hit of the same name. Following his departure from Accept in 1987, Dirkschneider formed his own band U.D.O. and has released 18 studio albums. Their most recent album, the 13-track Touchdown, was released on August 25, 2023 via Atomic Fire Records. Along with Dirkschneider, U.D.O. features Andrew Smirnov (guitar), Sven Dirkschneider (drums), Fabian Dee Dammers (guitar) and bassist Peter Baltes who played with Udo for many years in his former band Accept, which the bassist left in 2018. U.D.O. is delighted to bring their Touchdown tour to The Vault.
