German heavy metal group U.D.O. (also performing as Dirkschneider) are in the final stages of their 2023 summer festival tour and with the arrival of their highly awaited studio album “Touchdown” (to be released this Friday — on August 25th, 2023 — via Atomic Fire Records) being around the corner, the band are pleased to announce the first more extensive leg of their upcoming 2023/24 world tour in support of the aforementioned record.
