Born from the chaotic brilliance of Peacemaker & DC Studios, The Doves (short for the Doves of Peace ) made their thunderous debut at Peacefest during San Diego Comic-Con 2025. Performing 12 high-octane shows to thousands of die-hard fans, the band proved that peace doesn't have to be quiet—it can be loud, proud, and covered in spandex.
Billed by James Gunn, DC Studios, and HBO Max, The Doves of Peace are on a mission to resurrect the wild, unapologetically over-the-top spirit of 1980s glam metal.
