Blackie Lawless Reigns Supreme: W.A.S.P. Ignite Eventim Apollo With Shock-Rock Fury
Nothing sets the mood at a rock ‘n’ roll show like a stagehand announcing that anyone crowdsurfing tonight will be ejected from the venue. The mood is threatened further when, by show’s end, it is just half past nine and the Glaswegian crowd are sent home in broad summer daylight.
W.A.S.P. delivered a ferocious, volcanic performance at The Warfield Theater in San Francisco on December 13, 2024. It was truly a night to remember, marking an extraordinary return for the iconic band, with Blackie Lawless leading the charge.
It was a celebration of classic heavy metal in Las Vegas when W.A.S.P. and Armored Saint invaded the Brooklyn Bowl and delivered powerful performances that kept everyone on their feet the whole time, screaming for more.
