Heavy metal veterans W.A.S.P. and KK’s Priest will perform at Penn’s Peak (325 Maury Rd, Jim Thorpe, PA 18229) on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026, at 8 p.m., the venue announced Wednesday.

The “1984 to Headless” tour will feature W.A.S.P., led by founding member and frontman Blackie Lawless, performing a mix of their signature shock-rock hits. The band, which first gained notoriety in Los Angeles in the early 1980s, has sold millions of records worldwide and sparked controversy with their theatrical stage shows and politically charged lyrics.

Joining them is KK’s Priest, the new project of K.K. Downing, co-founder and former guitarist of Judas Priest. Downing formed the band after leaving Judas Priest more than a decade ago and recently celebrated his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. KK’s Priest carries on Downing’s heavy metal legacy with a mix of new material and classic-inspired riffs.

Tickets go on sale Friday, Feb. 13, at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster, Penn’s Peak Box Office, and Roadies Restaurant and Bar. Box office and restaurant sales are walk-up only; no phone orders will be accepted.

Ticket prices are $48.50 for the standing pit and $40 for reserved seating.
