Hard rocker W.A.S.P. are celebrating 40 years of rock and roll with an anniversary world tour.

Speaking on the previous tour dates, Blackie Lawless noted, “these gigs wer ‘rockin’ and everyone there, including the band could fee lit.  We would come off stage for the encore and there were times it was so loud we could not communicate with each other.”

Beginning August 4, W.A.S.P. will bring that energy to the United States and Canada as they continue the tour.

Armored Saint will serve as the opening dates for the North American dates.
