GWAR Wraps Up First Leg of 30th Anniversary Tour – Prepares to Continue Global Domination on Second Leg Starting October 7th

GWAR FALL ADMAT2015doneIntergalactic overlords GWAR are hunkered down, plotting vengeance in their Antarctic fortress following a successful first leg of the band’s 30th Anniversary (in Earth years) tour. ย This run took GWAR across North America on headline dates and multiple festival appearances. The band once again stopped by their home away from home The A.V. Club in Chicago, IL where they recorded yet another disasterpiece which will be released in the coming weeks.

 

Following a brief arctic slumber, GWAR will return to the road for the second leg of their 30th Anniversary tour. ย This time the mutant overlords will bring Born of Osiris and label-mates Battlecross out on the road with them. ย (Cryptopsy will play on the Canadian dates in place of Born of Osiris) ย This leg of the tour begins October 7th in Cincinnati, OH and will wreak havoc across North America through November 28th in Orlando, FL. ย A complete list of dates can be found below including the just announced November 15th show at Webster in New York, NY.

 

The infernal berserker, Lord Blรถthar had this to say about the band’s recent trip and upcoming shows:

 

“We came, we saw, we took drugs and got VD. It was the worst. We are trying to kill the internet, but so far, we haven’t been able to grab hold of the damn thing, or even really find out what it is….Is this…the internet? Anyway, as soon as we’ve re-upped on penicillin, we will back out there looking for more tawdry, soul crushing sexual encounters from coast to coast. Meet me out by the dumpster, wherever we are.”
