W.A.S.P. North American tour

Overview

In August 2026, the heavy metal band W.A.S.P. announced its ‘1984 To Headless’ North American tour, scheduled to run from September 10 through October 31. The tour, which includes special guest KK’s Priest, was designed as a theatrical tribute to the band’s first four studio albums.

The tour officially launched in El Cajon, California, in September. During the opening performance, W.A.S.P. played material from their 1984–1989 era and debuted the cover of Uriah Heep’s ‘Easy Livin’ and the demo ‘Mr. Cool’. KK’s Priest, featuring K. K. Downing and Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens, performed a mix of Judas Priest classics and tracks from their own recent albums. The six-week tour is set to conclude in Anaheim on Halloween.
