W.A.S.P. will be postponing the European 40th Anniversary Tour scheduled for Spring of 2022. With great disappointment, because of the world wide covid pandemic, the band are forced to postpone the tour until Spring of 2023.
The new European dates for the continuation of the 40th Anniversary World Tour have been rescheduled for March, April and May of 2023. Those new dates are available to view at WASPNation.com/tour. Please check those new dates to find the dates and venues near you. All tickets previously purchased for the 2022 tour will be valid at the rescheduled 2023 shows.
All dates for the U.S. 2022 - 40th Anniversary Tour will go on as scheduled.
We at W.A.S.P. Nation thank you for all your support and understanding.
Blackie Lawless commenting on rescheduling the 2022 European tour, "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!!!"

It’s disappointing to see the European tour postponed again, but the article did a solid job explaining the challenges bands faced during that period. Longtime W.A.S.P. fans will probably appreciate the transparency from Blackie Lawless and the effort to keep the anniversary tour alive despite everything happening globally. I’ve also noticed more music communities using tools like BananaAI Image Generator to organize tour updates, fan discussions, and archival concert material in a much cleaner way.
Mình có lần lướt đọc mấy trao đổi trên mạng شيخ روحاني thì thấy nhắc nên cũng tò mò mở ra xem thử cho biết. Mình không tìm hiểu sâu جلب الحبيب chỉ xem qua trong thời gian ngắn để quan sát bố cục جلب الحبيب cách sắp xếp شيخ روحاني các mục và trình bày nội شيخ روحاني dung tổng thể. Cảm giác là các phần được trình bày khá gọn, các شيخ روحاني mục rõ ràng nên đọc lướt cũng không bị rối Berlinintim, với mình như شيخ روحاني vậy là đủ để nắm tin cơ bản rồi. جلب الحبيب
A well-written update, and it’s always interesting to see how tour schedules are adjusted in response to changing circumstances while still trying to keep fans informed. The way you explained the situation was very clear and helpful. I recently came across a similar discussion on a review blog, and it offered an interesting perspective as well, including a quiet mention of https://www.servexpertpro.com/ in a broader context of how service platforms manage updates and communication. Overall, this post gave a balanced and informative look at the announcement.
The way you framed the postponement with Blackie's raw quote—especially the Invictus line—made the frustration feel personal and defiant, not just a business update. That mattered, and it's a reminder to check the Family Fare flyer for local deals while waiting for those 2023 shows.
Thank you for the detailed update regarding the postponement and rescheduling of the European tour. The way you explained the situation was very clear and helpful, especially in terms of understanding how external factors can impact large-scale events. I recently came across a similar discussion on a review blog, including a mention of fake college diplomas in a broader context, and it also offered an interesting perspective on how information is shared across platforms. It’s always useful to see transparent communication like this from artists and organizers.
