W.A.S.P. Announce 30 Years Of Thunder Tour

The band will kick off their anniversary celebrations in London in September and play a further nine shows around the country.

Last September the band revealed that this tour will be the biggest spectacle W.A.S.P. have ever created. The two hour show will apparently consist of three parts. A one hour set will contain songs from the first four albums. The second set will be a 25 minute shortened version of 'The Crimson Idol' complete with the movie accompaniment. A third set will consist of material from the new studio album, older material and everything in between.
