Full Metal Assault has been announced, a major tour in North America featuring metal giants Accept and KK’s Priest. KK’s Priest includes former Judas Priest members K.K. Downing and Tim Owens. Both bands are touring in support of their brand new albums, out now via Napalm Records. It’s going to be a legendary tour. Here’s what Wolf Hoffmann and K.K. Downing had to say:
“This tour with KK’S Priest is a dream come true for Accept and for me personally.
“Accept supported Judas Priest back in the early ’80s. It was our first ‘real’ international tour and Priest had been a huge influence on us.
“I’m really looking forward to reconnecting with K.K. on this very special tour. It’s going to be epic! Don’t miss it!”
Wolf Hoffmann
“It’s time!!! Let the full European metal assault commence, KK’S Priest / Accept. Not since 1983 have we shared the same battleground. From Germany, from the U.K., let the Flying Vs clash, let the metal fly! All in the name of defending our beloved heavy metal music, let the people come from all walks of life to witness the battle royal.”
“There is no doubt that we warriors of metal will give every ounce of our energy and our power in order to deliver up our very finest performance. This is a spectacle not to be missed, and this is possibly the one and only time in history for you to witness this iconic duel. Who will be the victor? You will be the judge, let the music begin from early August to early October… The arena awaits!!”
K.K. Downing
