Stage: Progression - Main Stage
Organized by ETSO8

German heavy metal legend U.D.O. will embark on a massive “Triple Anniversary Tour 2027” in early 2027, celebrating three important anniversaries at the same time: Udo Dirkschneider's 75th birthday, the 40th anniversary of U.D.O. and the band's upcoming 20th studio album, scheduled for release in early 2027 via Reigning Phoenix Music. Following the success of their 2023 album Touchdown, U.D.O. continue their relentless path forward, currently working on brand new material. While the title of the album remains a mystery for now, fans can expect more information and new music in the coming months.

Few artists in the history of heavy metal have left such a lasting mark as Udo Dirkschneider. From his early years as co-creator of the genre to his four decades at the helm of U.D.O., his unique voice and uncompromising style have defined generations of metal fans. With 19 studio albums and 20 on the horizon, U.D.O. remain one of the driving forces of the global metal scene.

The Triple Anniversary Tour 2027, presented by CONTRA, will include concerts throughout Europe, during which the band will present a cross-sectional set full of classics, fan favorites and brand new material.
