Doors are at 19:00, the show starts at 20:00, and the listed end time is 23:00. 013 says a detailed running order is published in the week of the concert.

Highlights & Attractions at Accept in Tilburg

• Fifty years of Accept, led on stage by guitarist Wolf Hoffmann and singer Mark Tornillo, with Philip Shouse, Martin Motnik and Christopher Williams.
• Teutonic heavy metal built on Balls to the Wall, Restless and Wild, Fast as a Shark and Metal Heart, plus later material including Humanoid (2024).
• Support acts listed on the current 013 page: Swedish bands Dynazty and Enforcer. The February 2026 tour announcement named Tailgunner; for Tilburg, follow the venue listing.
• The Main hall at 013 holds up to 3,000 people and is one of the major pop and metal rooms in the Netherlands.
• One date on a European leg running 19 November to 20 December 2026, with Brussels on 13 December and Munich on 20 December among the neighbouring stops.
• The anniversary year also includes Teutonic Titans 1976–2026, a project of reworked Accept songs with a long list of guests.
• A live reputation for tight, loud riffs and a craftsman-like metal show rather than a loose nostalgia set.

Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2026

This is a single concert in Tilburg, not a multi-day festival. Dynazty and Enforcer open; Accept headlines. No setlist for 16 December has been published. An anniversary show is expected to lean on the classic anthems, with room for Tornillo-era songs since Blood of the Nations and tracks from Humanoid. It is not confirmed whether material from Teutonic Titans will be played live.

Times from 013: doors 19:00, start 20:00, end 23:00. Changeover times between bands are only due in the week of the show. The venue page does not state an age limit.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Tilburg

• 013 is in the city centre at Veemarktstraat 44, 5038 CV Tilburg, within walking distance of Tilburg Centraal. Intercity trains link the city with Eindhoven, ’s-Hertogenbosch, Breda, Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
• Mid-December in Tilburg is cold and often wet, typically around freezing to about 8 °C. Bring a warm coat, solid shoes and ear protection. The room heats up quickly at a metal show.
• Book a central hotel early. It is a Wednesday, but fans travel for this tour. Stay near 013 or the station.
• Check the 013 page close to the date. Support and the timetable can still move: Tailgunner was named in February, while Enforcer is the name on the venue page now.
• Buy only via 013.nl or the official tour links on acceptworldwide.com. City-centre car parks exist; the train is usually the simpler arrival.
