The band will travel through Europe with stops in Spain, Czech Republic, Balkans countries, Scandinavia and Germany - to close the tour on May 10 in Pratteln, Switzerland.

And you may be curious. U.D.O. have used their time off to create their newest fireworks: Their new album Game Over, which has been just released, offers a lot of crashing riffs, precise grooving basses and an impulsive heaviness. Songs like "Metal Never Dies", "Kids And Guns" or "Prophecy" are precise, punchy, catchy and powerful and make the album a straight rock ´n roll “output. And it’s quality has been already proofed by a couple of chart entries so far: #7 in Sweden, #14 in Germany, #16 in Switzerland and #39 in Austria are speaking tell its own tale. Combine this masterpiece of metal with the long desire to get back on stage and you get a breathtaking, energetic spectacle.
