Other musicians who joined SABATON on stage during the concert included Chris Boltendahl (GRAVE DIGGER) and Frdric Leclercq (DRAGONFORCE).

The members of SABATON stated about the opportunity to perform with Dirkschneider, "Original frontman of the legendary ACCEPT, and it's a dream coming true for us to have 'The Voice of Metal' join us on stage. Many U.D.O. and ACCEPT albums lies close to the heart of SABATON and they are often played in our tour bus."
