Accept set for London Forum gig

Accept have announced a London date as part of a European winter tour.

The German metal outfit will play at The Forum on December 7 as part of a run of gigs that also takes in Germany and France.

Guitarist Wolf Hoffmann says: “We are happy to come back to London. The last show was such a great experience, let’s make it an even hotter night.”

Accept released their 14th album Blind Rage last year and in April they brought in guitarist Uwe Lulis and drummer Christopher Williams to replace Herman Frank and drummer Stefan Schwarzmann, who left in December.

Before the December gigs, the band are lined up to play a series of headline shows and festivals across the continent.
