W.A.S.P. have announced that they have been forced to postpone their European 40th Anniversary Tour that was originally scheduled for Spring of 2022.

The band has pushed back the trek to spring of 2023 due to the pandemic restrictions. All dates for the U.S. leg of 40th Anniversary Tour will go on as scheduled.

Blackie Lawless had this to say, "With enormous frustration I'm forced to announce W.A.S.P. must postpone the 2022 European leg of the 40th Anniversary World Tour. This hideous pandemic that's striped people of their freedom and lives, that's caused countless artist's to cancel or postpone shows for years, once again has reared its vicious head to claim us... again!

"For years we've worked really hard to make this tour our celebration, for not only for the fans, but for all of us involved. I'm sad, mad, tired and pissed off, but I'll quote from the great W.E. Henley's poem Invictus, 'My Head is Bloody, But Unbowed'.

"That's what I want from all of you, to go beyond this place of pain and loss, and NEVER bow to this THING! Our U.S. dates will continue as planned - BUT - WE WILL see you all next year Europe!!!" See the rescheduled dates below:
