W.A.S.P. Announces ‘1984 To Headless’ 2026 North American Tour with Special Guests KK’s Priest

Shock rock legends W.A.S.P. have officially announced their return to the road for the "1984 To Headless" 2026 North American tour, a theatrical spectacle celebrating the band's formative first five years.

The tour, which kicks off on September 10 in California and concludes on October 31, will see the band paying tribute to their first four iconic studio albums. Joining them as "very special guests" for the entire run is KK’s Priest, the heavy metal outfit led by founding Judas Priest guitarist K.K. Downing.
Bringing the Classics to Life

According to W.A.S.P. leader Blackie Lawless, this tour is unlike anything the band has attempted before. Rather than a standard greatest hits set, the production will be a high-concept "spectacle" where the stage design is intended to make the original album covers "come alive."

"Playing those songs from those first four albums in a combined package like this is something we’ve never attempted before," Lawless stated. "The entire stage show will look like the album covers from those records will come alive… right before your eyes!"

The setlist will draw exclusively from the hits that cemented W.A.S.P.'s legacy between 1984 and 1989:

W.A.S.P. (1984)

The Last Command (1985)

Inside the Electric Circus (1986)

The Headless Children (1989)

A Heavy Metal Dream Bill

The pairing of W.A.S.P. and KK’s Priest has already generated significant buzz within the metal community. Lawless expressed his own excitement about the lineup, asking rhetorically, "Both bands together on the same stage on the same night — where do I get my ticket?"

KK's Priest continues to tour in support of their latest material while delivering a setlist packed with Downing's classic Judas Priest contributions, making this a must-see event for fans of traditional and theatrical heavy metal.
