W.A.S.P. will embark on its first U.S. tour in a decade this fall. The trek will coincide the band's 40th anniversary and will include support from ARMORED SAINT and MICHAEL SCHENKER on select shows.
W.A.S.P. frontman Blackie Lawless stated: "For over 10 years we have not toured on U.S. soil. But starting October 28th, 2022ā¦ we return. 10 years I'd want, 10 years I've cussed, 10 years I'd lust to returnā¦. To my homelandā¦ and be a Wild Child, a Love Machine, to be Blind in Texas, On Your Knees and Headless."
Joined by bassist Mike Duda and guitarist Doug Blair, who have been in the band 26 years and 18 years, respectively, along with drummer extraordinaire Aquiles Priester, they will take the band and the fans back to where it all started, complete with the stage show extravaganza that many fans never saw live
Lawless added: "So join me and the band, and very special guests ARMORED SAINT as we celebrate W.A.S.P. 40th-anniversary tourā¦ Back in the U.Sā¦ Back to the Beginning.
"I'm gonna scream, c'ause I wanna feed, 'cause I wanna bleed, 'cause I Wanna Be Somebody.
"W.A.S.P. 40th-anniversary tourā¦ Back in the U.Sā¦ Back to the beginning."
