Prepare for blood, slime and the full wrath of intergalactic warlords, GWAR are hitting the road this fall for their 40th anniversary with The Return of GOR GOR Tour. Kicking off on September 17 in Detroit, MI, the tour will drag its gory trail through over 40 cities across North America, wrapping up in Norfolk, VA on November 22. Tickets go on sale TODAY at 10 AM EST via gwar.net.
The tour marks four decades of decapitations, slime cannons and face melting satire, with GWAR going all in. Alongside them for the ride: New York alt metal veterans Helmet, punk freaks Dwarves and rising crushers Blood Vulture. Expect a genre bending massacre of noise, violence and the kind of stage carnage only GWAR can deliver.
This isn’t just any tour, it’s a celebration of GWAR’s blood soaked legacy. From ‘Sick of You’ to ‘Meat Sandwich’, the band’s catalogue is absurd, grotesque and oddly cathartic! Experienced live is your best bet, preferably while being sprayed with unidentifiable fluids in the pit.
The Return of GOR GOR promises more than just the usual mutilation. It’s a resurrection of GWAR’s legendary monster, Gor Gor. A big time nod to fans who’ve kept the chaos alive for 40 years! Whether you’ve been following since ‘Scumdogs of the Universe’ or you’re just here for the spectacle, this tour’s going to be unmissable.
