Episode Blackie Lawless of W.A.S.P. on the 1984 To Headless Tour, the New Album, His Book, and Chris Holmes
W.A.S.P. founder Blackie Lawless joins Scott Penfold on the Loaded Radio Podcast.
Blackie breaks down the 1984 To Headless tour — the fall 2026 run with KK's Priest celebrating W.A.S.P.'s first four albums, kicking off September 10 and running through October 31 across the US and Canada, with European dates to follow. Selected material from the 1984 self-titled debut, The Last Command, Inside The Electric Circus and The Headless Children, with a stage production built to bring the album covers to life. Blackie has called it the first and only time the band will do this.
He also gives an update on the next W.A.S.P. studio album, which would be their first since 2015's Golgotha, and on the biography he's been researching and writing for years. And he addresses how he views former guitarists Chris Holmes and Randy Piper today.
W.A.S.P. is Blackie Lawless (vocals, guitar), Doug Blair (guitar), Mike Duda (bass) and Aquiles Priester (drums). Tickets and VIP packages at waspnation.com.
