W.A.S.P. celebrates its 40th Anniversary with a tour that will stop at City National Grove of Anaheim, Saturday, October 29, 2022. Tickets go on sale Friday, January 14, at 10AM EST. From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live, the band’s unique style of “shock and rock” caused religious organizations, local city councils, parliaments, and the U.S. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played.
The band’s founding member, front man Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning, June 6, 1982. His unique brand of visual, social and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for four decades. He is joined by bassist Mike Duda and guitarist Doug Blair, whose tenures in the band span 26 and 18 years respectively, along with drummer extraordinaire Aquiles Priester. This special 40th Anniversary Tour will take the band and its fans back to where it all started and features the stage show extravaganza that many fans never saw live.
