The “Album ONE Alive” tour celebrates the 40th anniversary of the release of W.A.S.P.’s first album. To celebrate this classic metal album, W.A.S.P. will, for the first time in 40 years, play the entire album from top to bottom, start to finish at headline shows across Europe. Dates and tickets are available at WASPnation.com/tour.

BraveWords, Sleaze Roxx, Metal Insider and The Metal Voice all picked the “Album ONE Alive” tour as one of the best tours in 2024.

Just a few reviews from the recently finished 2025 Album ONE Alive tour of South America:

The legacy of W.A.S.P continues to beat hard… four musicians, plenty of attitude and a sharp setlist were enough to set the night on fire. – The Resistance

Tremendous night of Hard Rock. – ZTA Multimedia

…vibrates with the power and history of one of heavy metal’s legends… An unforgettable night for all the fans! – Factor Metal

Reviews for the 2024 Album ONE Alive Tour have been nothing but amazing:

The audience was so loud that I could hear all the lyrics to those two songs from the stage but also from the crowd who was yelling / singing the lyrics behind me. It felt like a surreal experience. – Sleaze Roxx

The crowd went absolutely crazy, jumping and shouting the words to each song. – The Concerts Chronicles

As expected the sold-out show was a trip back down metal memory lane. – Texas Rock Report

There’s no denying that Lawless and company completely dominated that stage. – Rewindit Magazine

It has been said that heavy metal is dead, all I can tell you is to get your tickets and see for yourself. It is very much alive and well and this show will have you ‘On your Knees’ begging to go back to those ‘School Daze’! – Metal Shock Finland

Catching W.A.S.P. on this ONE Alive tour is highly recommended! – Metal Express Radio

If one has the chance to catch this tour – go. This is an absolute spectacle from start to finish that is not to be missed. – Death Moth Press

The tour is worth the trip. – Metal Universe

Blackie Lawless is still kicking ass, delivering a performance that fans will not forget. – Metal Talk

What a show… it did not disappoint! – WRIF

Formed in 1982, W.A.S.P. is set to bring this universally acclaimed “classic” album to life. Lead vocalist Blackie Lawless says, “It was an angry record made by an angry band. It was a record that not only reflected the attitude of the band members who made it, but also a record that reflected its time.” This record became a central piece of the 80s metal scene and remains one of the best metal debut albums of all time.

Along with bassist Mike Duda and lead guitarist Doug Blair, whose tenures in the band are 29 and 26 years respectively, W.A.S.P. is joined by long-time drummer extraordinaire Aquiles Priester.

Lawless and company will deliver the ultimate incredible spectacle, bringing W.A.S.P.’s most colorful history to life by performing this revered album in its entirety… ONE more time… ONE last time… Album ONE Alive!

W.A.S.P. Bonus Tracks And B-Sides was released on February 13 on digital services. The 7 Savage boxset and is available here.

About W.A.S.P.:

Few bands in the history of rock n’ roll have ever incited the love, the hate, the raw emotional effect this band has had on the world. From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live, the band’s unique style of shock and rock caused Religious Organizations, Local City Councils, Parliaments, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played.

The band’s founding member, frontman Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for 4 decades.
