Gerald Wilkes, longtime business partner of Gaby Hoffmann, is expanding his European Deal with Accept and will be the worldwide Booking Agent as of January 1st.

Gaby Hoffmann: "We have a very close relationship with Gerald and many successful tours, specially the Blind Rage World Tour in 2014,  and growing logistic demands present a need for us to fasten the seat belts and go into the next round. We believe all touring business in one hand will make it more efficient for all of us and for all our partners around the world. The new tour schedule with even more countries, for instance Australia, where Accept opened a brand new market for themselves in 2014, started with sold out shows and needs special attention. Concerts in Asia, Africa, Middle East etc are on the menu and we need a strong partner with international connections to open more markets for us."

 

 

Gerald Wilkes: "Continental Concerts and I are really proud about expanding our successful relationship with Accept! This is a big step for us and we believe that the band is stronger than ever and that there are still a lot of territories that Accept will conquer in the future. I have been working with the band for so many years and it feels great to have such a close continuous relationship for such a long time."
