Wage War at The Pageant

Emergency Broadcast Tour

With a diverse fanbase of all ages and a reputation for angsty melodies, metal music always has had a rebellious place in history since about the 1970s. For decades, metalheads have turned heads and raged against the machine through electrifying guitar mega solos and insane head-bursting lyrics.

The metal genre has grown and formed into many spin-offs like the 1980s classics of thrash, glam, and doom metal, or today's popular picks of alternative and death metal. The newest branches include folk metal and deathcore, although old school metalheads also have a sense of protectiveness about their favorite bands. Still, everyone moshing can agree that everyone there wants to enjoy the madness and release pent-up aggression as they see fit.

Wage War welcomes all listeners in St. Louis, whether they're old enough to have experienced the iconic thrash and glam metal bands firsthand or they're ready to jump into the fray that is the metal genre. The Florida-based metalcore powerhouse brings their Emergency Broadcast Tour to town, joined by special guests We Came As Romans, Varials, and Cane Hill for an all-ages show presented by 105.7 The Point.

Wage War understands heavy feelings, as anyone can hear from their amazing collection that pull at the heartstrings (with lyrics your mother would turn off). With songs like "Stitch," "Circle The Drain," "Manic," and "Low" ranking high on the metal charts, magazine features, and several awards under their belts, Wage War is appreciated, and rightly so. They're touring in support of their latest EP, It Calls Me By Name (2026), following their critically acclaimed album Stigma (2024).
