GWAR Unleashes the Gor Gor Must Die Tour This Fall
The intergalactic overlords of shock metal are back, and the Gor Gor Must Die Tour is about to tear through 36 North American cities this fall. GWAR kicks off October 27 at the Jefferson Theater in Charlottesville, Virginia and rampages across the continent through December 12, wrapping up at The Norva in Norfolk -- right in the band hometown. Joining the carnage are Midnight and Mac Sabbath on the main run, with X-Cops and Atomic Rule appearing on select dates. If you have never seen GWAR live, this is the one -- and if you have, you already know you need to be there again.
A GWAR show is unlike anything else in live music. Elaborate alien costumes, gallons of fake blood sprayed into the crowd, on-stage dismemberments of celebrity effigies, and underneath all of it, genuinely crushing thrash metal performed by musicians who take the music as seriously as they take the chaos. The Gor Gor Must Die Tour promises to be one of their most ambitious productions yet. Check the listings below and grab your GWAR tickets on BigStub before these shows sell out.
GWAR emerged from the Richmond, Virginia underground in 1984 as something no one had ever seen before -- a heavy metal band dressed as interplanetary warriors who turned every concert into a blood-soaked theatrical spectacle. Founded by the late Dave Brockie (Oderus Urungus) and built on a rotating cast of costumed characters, the band has released more than a dozen studio albums and built one of the most devoted cult followings in metal history. Albums like Scumdogs of the Universe, America Must Be Destroyed, and War Party blend thrash, punk, and dark humor into a sound that is as heavy as it is absurd. Through lineup changes and real-life tragedy -- including the passing of Brockie in 2014 and guitarist Cory Smoot in 2011 -- GWAR has continued to evolve while keeping the spirit of creative mayhem alive.
