Armored Saint vocalist John Bush, comments “Armored Saint is totally pumped to be the special guest on the upcoming 40th-anniversary tour of W.A.S.P. This tour will take us back to our fond memories of sharing the stage together with W.A.S.P. at the Troubadour in Hollywood where it all began in 1982. We’re also excited to be playing tunes from our last record, Punching The Sky, since we haven’t done any shows since its release in 2020. Old schoolers, I expect you there! New schoolers, we want you there! It’s gonna be a blast!”

Armored Saint:
Joey Vera – bass
Gonzo Sandoval – drums
