Vocalists Udo Dirkschneider and Tim “Ripper” Owens will embark on a joint tour exclusively featuring material from their former bands: Accept and Judas Priest , respectively. This will be the first time the two vocalists have performed in this format, sharing the tour, which takes place in April.

In São Paulo, the event will take place on April 23rd (Sunday), starting at 5 PM, at Manifesto Bar. The band accompanying the vocalists will consist of Brazilians Johnny Moraes (guitar, Hevilan and Warrel Dane), Fabio Carito (bass, Trend Kill Ghosts and Warrel Dane) and Marcus Dotta (drums, About2Crash and Warrel Dane).

German musician Udo Dirkschneider made history with Accept, remaining in the band from 1976-1987, 1992-1997, and 2005. In addition to fundamental heavy metal albums such as Breaker (1981), Restless and Wild (1982), Balls to the Wall (1983), Metal Heart (1985), and Russian Roulette (1986), he also has an extensive and important solo career, with 17 studio albums, the most recent Game Over

“I’ve been dedicated to heavy music ever since I discovered this type of music. It’s been many years and it’s been very good for me, in every way. I always want to do something. An album, a tour… I like to work. I will continue with this as long as I have my health, my voice, I can tour and I’m having fun,” the vocalist commented to Roadie Crew .

American Tim “Ripper” Owens was a member of one of the most important heavy metal bands of all time: Judas Priest. In 1996, he replaced Rob Halford , recording the albums Jugulator (1997) and Demolition (2001), as well as the live album Live in London . Ripper also has an extensive discography, recording with Iced Earth, Winter's Bane, Yngwie Malmsteen, Beyond Fear, Charred Walls Of The Damned, and KK's Priest , among others, in addition to his solo career. The artist's setlist should focus exclusively on his time with Priest, with tracks such as “Burn in Hell”, “One on One”, and “Hell is Home”, as well as classics like “The Ripper”, “Metal Gods”, “Painkiller”, and “Electric Eye”.
