Buy tickets for Dirkschneider - Balls To The Wall - 40th Anniversary Tour, 25.02.2025. in Klub Boogaloo, Zagreb

Contra ponosno predstavlja: Legendarni vokalist Accepta, Udo Dirkschneider, dolazi u BOOGALOO ZAGREB po prvi put 25. veljače 2025. kako bi proslavio 40. godišnjicu kultnog albuma Balls to the Wall!

DIRKSCHNEIDER predstavlja mnogo više od drugog projekta uz Udo Dirkschneiderov bend U.D.O. Grupa, koja se priprema za turneju, odaje počast glazbenom nasljeđu njihovog legendarnog vokalista. Udo je bio jedan od ključnih ljudi u priči o uspjehu Accepta kao tekstopisac i osnivač benda 1970-ih. Najnoviji član obitelji U.D.O. / DIRKSCHNEIDER, basist Peter Baltes, također je dao veliki doprinos tijekom Acceptove ere, a zajedno su stvorili album Balls to the Wall. Scenska prisutnost benda, koju upotpunjuju precizno bubnjanje Svena Dirkschneidera i talentirani gitaristički duo Andrey Smirnov i Fabian “Dee” Dammers, s pravom se može opisati kao "Balls to the Wall."

Sretna je slučajnost da se 40. godišnjica najprodavanijeg i najpoznatijeg Acceptovog albuma, objavljenog krajem 1983., poklapa s vrhuncem U.D.O. / DIRKSCHNEIDER-a. Stoga DIRKSCHNEIDER ne samo da izvodi Balls to the Wall uživo, već s oduševljenjem najavljuje europsku turneju u proljeće 2025. kako bi proslavio odgođenu obljetnicu ovog kultnog albuma! Udo je o ovim prestižnim datumima rekao:
„Jako se veselim što ću sa svojim bendom vratiti Acceptov ultimativni uspješni album na pozornicu. Dijeljenje pozornice s Peterom Baltesom i izvođenje Balls to the Wall u cijelosti za sve vas bit će jedan od najvažnijih trenutaka u mojoj karijeri.“

DIRKSCHNEIDER će setlisti dodati i druga iznenađenja uz 45-minutni Balls to the Wall, s kultnim pjesmama poput naslovne pjesme, “London Leatherboys,” “Love Child” i završne balade “Winterdreams,” te će sve izvesti s novom produkcijom. Sve je spremno za proslavu 40. obljetnice ovog prekretnog albuma i za to da ova turneja postane nezaboravna za svakog metalca.

Contra Proudly Presents: Accept's legendary vocalist Udo Dirkschneider is coming to BOOGALOO ZAGREB for the first time on the 25th February, 2025, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the iconic album *Balls to the Wall!

DIRKSCHNEIDER represents much more than just a second project alongside Udo Dirkschneider's band U.D.O. The group, now preparing for a tour, will pay homage to their legendary vocalist’s musical legacy. Udo was one of the main figures in Accept’s success story as a songwriter and founding member in the 1970s. The newest member of the U.D.O. / DIRKSCHNEIDER family, bassist Peter Baltes, also made significant contributions during the Accept era, and together, they created the *Balls to the Wall* album. The band’s stage presence, completed by Sven Dirkschneider’s clockwork precision drumming and the talented guitar duo of Andrey Smirnov and Fabian “Dee” Dammers, can aptly be described as “Balls to the Wall.”

It’s a fortunate coincidence that the 40th anniversary of Accept's best-selling and most well-known album, released in late 1983, coincides with U.D.O. / DIRKSCHNEIDER's prime. Therefore, DIRKSCHNEIDER is not just performing *Balls to the Wall* live; they are also thrilled to announce a European tour in the spring of 2025 to celebrate the delayed anniversary of the iconic album! Udo had this to say about these prestigious dates:“I am really looking forward to bringing my band Accept's ultimate success album back to the stage. Sharing the stage with Peter Baltes and performing *Balls to the Wall* in its entirety for all of you will be one of the most significant moments of my career.”

DIRKSCHNEIDER will add other surprises to the setlist alongside the 45-minute *Balls to the Wall*—featuring iconic tracks like the title song, “London Leatherboys,” “Love Child,” and the closing ballad “Winterdreams”—and even bring it to the stage with a new production. Everything is set to celebrate the 40th anniversary of this milestone album and to make this tour unforgettable for every metalhead.
