The legends of american heavy metal W.A.S.P. are coming back to Spálené Poříčí after long 19 years!

Few bands define the wild 1980s Sunset Strip era as convincingly as W.A.S.P. Led by the restless visionary Blackie Lawless, they emerged as a phenomenon that fused raw heavy metal with a theatricality that once rattled the U.S. Senate and the PMRC. But don't be fooled by the provocative shock-rock surface of their early days. While the debut album and hits like “I Wanna Be Somebody” or “Wild Child” are pure rock’n’roll anthems, their later work—spearheaded by the conceptual masterpiece “The Crimson Idol” and the mature “The Headless Children”—revealed dee ...

At the helm of this legend stands the unmistakable Big Boss, whose charismatic baritone and theatrical presence l ...
