W.A.S.P. brings their "1984 to Headless" tour to House of Blues, celebrating the band's explosive first album through their controversial 1989 release "The Headless Children." This journey through the shock rock legends' early catalog means you'll hear the raw energy of tracks like "I Wanna Be Somebody" and "Wild Child" alongside the more refined metal mastery of their later work. The intimate House of Blues setting puts you right up close with Blackie Lawless and company, a far cry from the massive arena shows where the band built their reputation with theatrical pyrotechnics and provocative stage antics.
The timing couldn't be better for a horror-themed show, landing right before Halloween when Las Vegas embraces its darker side. W.A.S.P.'s blend of heavy metal thunder and theatrical spectacle fits perfectly with the House of Blues atmosphere, where the walls seem to pulse with decades of rock and roll history. This era of W.A.S.P. represented some of the most controversial moments in metal history, from parental advisory stickers to banned performances, though these days the focus is squarely on the music that helped define '80s metal's more theatrical edge.
