W.A.S.P. Bio
Formed in Los Angeles in 1982, W.A.S.P. became known for theatrical presentation, sharp-edged heavy metal and a catalogue that helped define the era's arena-ready sound. The band's best-known songs include “I Wanna Be Somebody,” “Wild Child” and “The Real Me,” while albums such as W.A.S.P. and The Headless Children remain touchstones for longtime listeners.
The group's combination of high-impact performance and melodic songwriting has kept its music in circulation across generations of metal fans. This New York date pairs W.A.S.P. with KK's Priest, the band led by former Judas Priest guitarist K.K. Downing, for an evening centered on classic heavy metal. No earlier W.A.S.P. dates at Palladium Times Square are specified in the supplied event information.
Set in Times Square, the show offers a distinctly Manhattan concert setting, surrounded by the district's theaters, restaurants and late-night activity. The listing identifies this as a single scheduled event at the venue.
Venue and Seating Information
Palladium Times Square, at 1515 Broadway near West 44th Street, is an indoor venue with an approximate capacity of 2,150. Its flexible concert layout can shift between standing general admission and seated configurations, depending on the event. The venue's sound and lighting systems are designed to support a close-up live-music experience.
For concerts, the main floor is typically general admission standing, bringing fans close to the stage and into the liveliest part of the room. Arriving early can help those hoping to secure a position near the front. The mezzanine and balcony offer elevated sightlines and a less crowded way to take in the full stage; availability and configurations may vary for this performance.
Parking Information
Parking in Midtown Manhattan is limited and can be costly, so public transit is a practical choice for reaching the venue. Times Square–42nd Street is served by the N, Q, R, W and 1, 2, 3 subway lines; the A, C and E stop at 42nd Street–Port Authority, and the 7 train also serves the area.
For guests driving, the supplied venue information lists these options:

- Icon Parking and SP+ garages: Multiple locations near West 44th Street and Broadway, with event parking listed at approximately $30–$60 or more. Rates vary, and pre-booking may offer better pricing.
Rideshare drop-offs are available on nearby side streets. After the show, meeting a driver a block or two away from Broadway may help avoid the heaviest Times Square traffic.
W.A.S.P. Newark reviews
Wonderfully fun
This was our 3rd time seeing W.A.S.P. in Oahu and it was just as magical as the first. A great show to introduce your kids to the theater, my advice is to get an aisle seat for a close-up view of some characters – it's a real treat. If we lived on Oahu, we probably would have seen it many more times because we live in Kailua Kona, this is a trip for us. We have to fly over, get a car and hotel, and make a weekend of it.
