The “1984 To Headless” Fall 2026 North American tour marks W.A.S.P.’s long-awaited return to stages across the U.S. and Canada, delivering a powerful live tribute to the albums that defined their legacy:
W.A.S.P. (1984), The Last Command (1985), Inside the Electric Circus (1987), and The Headless Children (1989).
Fans can expect a true rock ’n’ roll spectacle, complete with a fully realized theatrical stage production designed to bring the iconic album artwork to life—for the first and only time.
The first five years of an artist’s career often define their legacy, and W.A.S.P. cemented theirs during this era, pioneering shock rock, psycho-drama, and boundary-pushing live performances that remain legendary more than four decades later.
Following the North American run, W.A.S.P. will take the “1984 To Headless” tour to Europe and beyond in 2027.
Blackie Lawless on the Tour
“It’s hard to express the genuine excitement I’m feeling in describing the ‘1984 To Headless’ U.S. tour. Playing songs from those first four albums together like this is something we’ve never attempted before.
The entire stage show will look like the album covers from those records coming alive right before your eyes. With all the history and bombastic live presentation that’s made this band one of the great theatrical rock acts, it’s going to be something people won’t soon forget.
I’m also thrilled to bring K.K.’s Priest on board for all the Fall 2026 U.S. shows. Both bands—together, on the same stage, the same night—where do I get my ticket?
This tour is going to be one for the rock ages!”
K.K. Downing on Joining the Tour
“Great news! KK’s Priest is returning to the U.S. and Canada this September and October 2026. We’re teaming up with metal legends W.A.S.P., and with over 40 shows, this will be an epic metal and steel tour featuring plenty of Priest classics. We look forward to seeing you all very soon—don’t miss this one.”
