Blackie Lawless and co line up 10 September dates in UK and Ireland

WASP will return to the UK in September for a run of 10 dates, it’s been confirmed.

The band recently signed a deal with Napalm Records for 15th album Golgotha, expected in the summer. Now they’ve announced they’ll take to the road on The Bloody Road To Golgotha tour to promote the record.

Mainman Blackie Lawless recently said of the follow-up to 2009’s Babylon: “There’s one thing I learned when I was doing The Crimson Idol: If you make a record over too long a time, the record you start out making is not the record you end up finishing.

“You’ve changed so much as a person over a three or four-year period. You’ve got to be very careful to hold on to the vision.”

Tickets go on general sale at 11am on May 1 (Friday) via NMC Live.
