ACCEPT Release Live Video For “Pandemic” From 2014 Woodstock Festival
September 10, 2014, 10 years ago
German heavy metal legends Accept has released a live video of “Pandemic” from their recent performance at the 2014 Woodstock Festival in Poland. The festival broke records with over 750,000 fans in attendance for the charity event.
The new Accept album Blind Rage is an international success, having just debuted on the World Charts at #14 - the highest ever World Chart placing in the band’s 30 year history.
Tickets for the upcoming 2014 Blind Rage World Tour are quickly selling out too. Two weeks before the international release of Blind Rage, Accept headlined shows, playing to audiences of 80,000 at Wacken 2014 and 750,000 at Woodstock Festival. These shows fired up the fans to buy Blind Rage and comfortably placed the band at #1 on the charts in both Germany and Finland, the top 10 in many other countries. The 2014 world tour kicks off with some very special US shows starting September 11th in California. The Blind Rage World Tour will pay special tribute to the tracks from the new album.

Four years ago, we decided to start Accept anew,” states the band. “Of course, we hoped to reach the fans of heavy metal and leave a few more marks in its history. None of us would have thought that it would come to this. We’d like to thank all who gave us enormous strength and the will to continue on order to make this happen.”
Blind Rage was produced, engineered, mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap, and features cover artwork by Dan Goldsworthy.
