Heavy metal band W.A.S.P. performs live on their 1984 To Headless tour at Emo's in Austin.
W.A.S.P. are playing Emo's on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, as part of their 1984 To Headless tour. They're sharing the bill with KK's Priest, so it's a double bill of heavy metal in one night. The show starts at 7 PM.
If you've followed W.A.S.P. for a while, the tour title tells you exactly what to expect. 1984 To Headless points to the span of their career, from the early days of their 1984 debut all the way through to their more recent work. It's a set that reaches back to the beginning without staying there, pulling from the early records and the later ones in the same night. The tour title is a nod to that whole run, and the setlist follows suit.
KK's Priest opens the bill. They're the project fronted by Ken King, formerly of the British heavy metal band Priest, and they bring that same traditional metal sound to the stage. Between the two acts, you've got a full evening of the style: KK's Priest starting things off and W.A.S.P. taking over for the main set.
