W.A.S.P. Brings '1984 to Headless' Tour to North America with KK's Priest

Legendary shock rock band W.A.S.P. is set to embark on a comprehensive North American tour in 2026, dubbed 1984 to Headless, which will spotlight material from their influential first four studio albums. Joining them as special guests will be KK's Priest.

The extensive tour is scheduled to commence on September 10th in El Cajon, California, and will traverse the continent before concluding on October 31st in Anaheim, California. Tickets for all dates will be available for general public purchase starting February 13th. A full itinerary of tour stops can be seen below.

This upcoming series of performances marks a significant shift for W.A.S.P., moving beyond their recent focus on their debut album. The 1984 to Headless tour will delve into their most commercially successful era, featuring tracks from 1984's W.A.S.P., 1985's The Last Command, 1986's Inside the Electric Circus, and 1989's The Headless Children.

Frontman Blackie Lawless expressed his enthusiasm for the unique concept. "It's hard to express the genuine excitement I'm feeling in describing the '1984 To Headless' U.S. tour," Lawless stated. He highlighted that combining songs from these foundational albums into a single package is an unprecedented endeavor for the band. Fans can also anticipate an immersive visual experience, as Lawless revealed that "the entire stage show will look like the album covers from those records [and] will come alive... right before your eyes!"

Following the North American leg, Lawless has indicated plans to extend the tour to Europe and other global territories in 2027, promising an enduring celebration of W.A.S.P.'s early catalog.
