As promised, Sweden’s “Coziest” festival, Time To Rock in Knislinge, announces the final band for the 2025 event. Completing the 2025 event roster (barring any cancellations or adjustments) will be none other than Dirkschneider! At one time, Udo Dirkschneider proclaimed that he would no longer play the Accept material. After the success of those tours and albums, he has since adjusted that thought. I suppose he realized that the fans really want to hear him sing the classics? And so now he performs that material under the Dirkschneider moniker. And in this case, at Time To Rock Festival 2025, we will get the ENTIRE Balls To The Wall album!
Below is the official post from the Time To Rock Facebook page published on March 14, 2025.
“So we can then finally release the last clear band for this summer’s Time To Rock. We welcome Udo and his Dirkschneider as, among others, he will play the entirety of ACCEPT‘s classic record Balls To The Wall. Nothing you want to miss, right? The band is playing with us on July 5. Be there or be square!”
