Steel Panther Twenty Twenty $ex Tour presale codes

Born on the Sunset Strip, the band built a sharp glam-metal spoof with real chops and candy hooks.

Glitter roots, hard hooks

After their original bassist left in 2021, a longtime ally took the role in 2023, and the chemistry now feels tight and playful. Expect a set built around Death to All but Metal, Community Property, Eyes of a Panther, and the newer nod 1987 off On the Prowl.

Wigs, riffs, and wisecracks

The crowd skews mixed-age rock fans, from hoodie-wearing guitar nerds to sequined diehards, with plenty of group singalongs in the balcony. A quirky note: the group first held a long-running weekly residency under another name, honing banter as tightly as the solos. Another deep cut fact is their habit of inviting a few fans onstage mid-show for a comic choir, which started during an early club era. Take these set and production notes as an informed snapshot, not a promise, since this band likes to switch things up nightly.

Spray Paint Glam, Real Community: Steel Panther Scene

You will see leopard prints, denim vests with homemade patches, and teased hair wigs right next to plain tees and beat-up sneakers.

Sequins, patches, and throwback winks

People chant between songs, often clapping a straight four before a punchline and roaring the hooks once the guitars fire. Couples, office pals, and lifers all show up, with many bringing tongue-in-cheek signs that quote 1987 or Community Property.

Loud jokes, louder choruses

Merch leans neon and cheeky, but the best sellers are simple tour tees and caps you can wear past the night. A small tradition is shouting out each player before the last tune, like a mini roll call that doubles as a comedy bit. After the set, folks trade photo poses and costume tips more than setlist gossip, which keeps the mood light. It feels like a costume party where the music actually matters, and that mix is why the rooms keep filling.

Riffs First, Laughs Close Behind with Steel Panther

The singer leans on bright, high notes with a smooth edge, and the backing vocals stack to make choruses feel wide.

Hooks on heels

Guitars favor crisp palm mutes before jumping into melodic shred lines, and solos often quote the chorus so they stick. A quiet but telling choice is keeping much of the set a half-step down, which warms the tone and lets the voice hit hard without strain.

Glow and grit

Mid-show, a tune can pivot into a playful half-time groove, then snap back to tempo for one last gang chorus. Expect a quick talk box cameo and tight stop-start hits that let jokes breathe without killing momentum. Drums keep a bright snare with slick handclap accents, and bass locks a bouncy pocket that anchors the glitter. Lights ride neon washes and sharp whites, supporting the riffs rather than trying to outshine them.

If You Like These, You Get Steel Panther

Fans who chase high vocals and bright guitars often cross over with The Darkness, whose tongue-in-cheek glam and showy riffs feel familiar.

Falsetto flash meets punchy hooks

Then the stand-up timing and tight grooves connect with Tenacious D, where the joke lands because the band can actually play. For classic hooks and big choruses, Poison scratches the same itch, especially for those who love singalong guitar breaks.

Comedy chops, arena hearts

Older-school hard rockers who want grit with the gloss tend to also ride with Skid Row. All four acts mix theater with chops, so the energy swings from wink to fist-pump in the same song. That blend of humor, falsetto, and arena-ready beats ties these crowds together without feeling like copycats.
