U.D.O. postpones North American tour

Author Flavia Andrade - 30.10.2023

U.D.O., former Accept singer Udo Dirkschneider’s band, have postponed their North American tour, originally scheduled to start on November 03. The band have announced that the trek will now take place in September and October 2024.

On October 29, U.D.O. released a statement: 

It is with a very heavy heart that we have to announce that the upcoming U.D.O. Tour of the US & Canada has had to be pushed back to 2024. This decision is due to an insurmountable combination of logistical, cargo, and rental equipment problems which make it impossible for U.D.O. to perform the shows as scheduled.

All tickets will remain valid for the respective rescheduled shows.

Thanks and sorry again for any inconvenience.
