CarteretPAC Announces W.A.S.P. “1984 to Headless” Tour in New Jersey
W.A.S.P. is set to bring their “1984 To Headless” Fall North American Tour to the Carteret Performing Arts & Events Center on Saturday, October 3, 2026, starting at 8:00 pm. This concert will be a special tribute to their first four albums, promising fans an unforgettable experience. The lineup will include the talented KK’s Priest as a special guest.
The impact that W.A.S.P. has had on the world of Rock N’ Roll is undeniable. From their humble beginnings in small venues in Los Angeles, California, to facing bans in numerous countries due to their unique Shock and Rock style, the band has always pushed boundaries. Religious organizations, local councils, parliaments, and even the Senate in Washington D.C. held hearings in an attempt to suppress the band’s record sales and live performances.
Blackie Lawless, the founding member and frontman of W.A.S.P., has been the driving force behind the band since the very beginning. His blend of visual, social, and political commentary has propelled the group to international fame, selling millions of records and performing sold-out shows across the globe for four decades.
The “1984 To Headless” tour will showcase selected hits from W.A.S.P.’s first four albums, promising to bring these iconic songs to life on stage like never before. The entire concert experience will be a visual spectacle, with the stage show mirroring the album covers of the featured records.
In addition to W.A.S.P., the tour will also feature the legendary K.K. Downing and his band, KK’s Priest. Downing, a founding member of Judas Priest, has had metal running through his veins since the early days of his career. His recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame solidifies his status as a pioneering musician, songwriter, and guitarist.
KK’s Priest is not just a musical project for Downing; it represents a continuation of his lifelong dedication to heavy metal. The tour promises to be an epic metal experience, combining classic Priest songs with exciting new material from KK’s Priest.
The Carteret Performing Arts & Events Center, the venue for this event, offers a versatile space that can cater to a wide range of performances and events. With luxury seating, VIP box suites, and a rooftop lounge, concert-goers can expect a top-notch experience while enjoying the show.
