U.D.O. recently confirmed that the band would record their show on November 16th at Hristo Botev Hall in Sofia, Bulgaria for their next official live CD/DVD release.

An update from the band states: "We successfully completed the recording of the new DVD, which will be released in 2012. "Thank you Sofia" was the most used sentence of the band after the show (before: "where is my vodka" and "damn, I'm getting older"). The audience was absolutely fantastic and forced us to play for nearly 2 hours and 30 minutes. More than 2,000 fans welcomed back us after 7 years and pushed everybody over his personal limit. Sofia was absolutely great and we will never forget this show.

To make sure all the fans can participate of this great event we will do everything to release the DVD/CD/Blu-ray as soon as possible. We'll keep you updated."

U.D.O. frontman Udo Dirkschneider and bassist Fitty Wienhold are featured in a new interview with Kaaos TV, conducted on October 1st in Vaasa, Finland´. Check it out below:

U.D.O. recently issued the following update:

"The show on November 30th in As, Belgium has been mislaid to Kerkrade's Rock Temple in the Netherlands. There is only a 50 kilometer distance between both cities. Sadly the tickets from As are NOT valid in Kerkrade because the promoter is not the same in both cities!"
