W.A.S.P. have unveiled a new video trailer for their upcoming 1984 To Headless North American tour, which will feature K.K.’s Priest as special guests. The trek begins on September 10 in California and will run through October 31, covering the United States and Canada.
The tour focuses on material from the band’s first four studio albums, revisiting the era that established W.A.S.P. as one of heavy metal’s most recognizable acts.
According to the band’s announcement: “1984 To Headless”, the fall 2026 North American tour, W.A.S.P. returns playing live in the US and Canada, paying tribute to their first four albums… Live!
Selected hits from W.A.S.P.’s first four abums promise to create a true rock ‘n roll spectacle complete with a live stage show bringing those albums alive for the first… and only time.
The first five years of artist’s careers most always determine what their legacy will be if they go on to greatness, or be remembered as a footnote in music history. W.A.S.P. cemented their place in rock history in those first five years with their iconic first album in 1984, followed the next year with The Last Command, Inside The Electric Circus in 1987 and capped with the their greatest yet, The Headless Children in 1989.
In their fabled 44 year history, W.A.S.P. have been pioneers of shock rock, psycho drama and live spectacles that are now legendary in the world of rock.
The band will take the “1984 To Headless” Tour to Europe and the world in 2027.”
Frontman Blackie Lawless shared his thoughts on the upcoming run: “It’s hard to express the genuine excitement I’m feeling in describing the “1984 To Headless” U.S. Tour. Playing those songs from those first four albums in a combined package like this is something we’ve never attempted before. In addition to the songs, the entire stage show will look like the album covers from those records will come alive… right right before your eyes!
“Complete with all the history and bombastic live presentations that’s made this band one of the great live bands in the theatrical rock world. When elements of those album covers start to come alive, right on the stage before the people it’s gonna be something they’ll not soon forget!
“I’m also equally thrilled to bring K. K.’s Priest and those iconic hit’s onboard for all the fall 2026 U.S. shows. Both bands… together… on the same stage… on the same night… where do I get my ticket?
“It’s gonna make the “1984 To Headless” tour one for the rock ages!”
K.K. Downing also commented on the tour partnership: “Great news! KK’s Priest is going to be returning to the US and Canada this September and October 2026! We will be teaming up together with metal legends W.A.S.P. and with over 40 shows, this is going to be an epic metal and steel tour featuring lots of Priest classics! We look forward to seeing you all again very soon so please get on board early, we do not want you to miss this one.”
In addition to the concerts, W.A.S.P. will once again offer VIP packages. Fans purchasing VIP tickets will have the opportunity to meet Blackie Lawless, receive autographs, take a personal photo with him, access the traveling W.A.S.P. museum featuring new additions since the band’s previous U.S. tour, and participate in a question-and-answer session with the singer.
With a setlist built around the band’s formative years and a production designed to recreate the visual identity of those classic records, the 1984 To Headless tour will revisit the albums that helped establish W.A.S.P. as a major force in heavy metal during the 1980s.
