TRAGEDY: Disco Metal – YMCA live at Wacken – N America w/ Nanowar of Steel

19th September 2024 0 By Jon Deaux

Tragedy played the final song of the entire festival at Wacken Open Air – and invited up the hard-working staff and crew to join for the most metal thing ever done at any metal festival in history – a rousing rendition of Y.M.C.A.

Valhallelujah, it’s raining men!

Last year we toured Europe with our amazing brothers in comedy metal, Nanowar of Steel. And now we’re psyched to hit the road with them in the US and Canada! The Toyboys from Hell Tour!

…and following the North American tour dates, Tragedy hits Full Metal Holiday, in Mallorca Spain! Along with Accept, Alestorm, the Iron Maidens and many more!

Flipping the script on sleaze rock tropes, with I Am Woman, we find the inner-metal in disco and soft-rock classics made famous by women. Tragedy’s concept has always been to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes, inverting the yin and the yang. Here we celebrate womanhood in all forms on 14 newly-recorded, reinvented anthems of palpable power and fearless fun!

Featuring songs originally made famous by Chic, Gloria Gaynor, Cyndi Lauper, Betty Buckley/Barbara Streisand, Abba, Shocking Blue/Bananarama, Shirley Bassey, Aretha Franklin, Irene Cara, the Pointer Sisters, Dolly Parton, Sheryl Crow, Helen Reddy and Katy Perry.
