WRETCHED EARTHLINGS, PREPARE TO BE ANNIHILATED! The infernal legions of GWAR will lay siege to the Earth in 2025 to mark 40 years of blood-soaked mayhem on this pathetic planet. Prepare for the most brutal anniversary celebration imaginable as your alien overlords unleash a sonic firestorm of bone-crushing riffs and grotesque spectacle on this monstrous anniversary tour!
First stop: the “Machines Vs. Monsters” tour! GWAR will join forces with the industrial metal juggernaut that is Static-X to crush skulls and melt faces across North America. The carnage kicks off this spring, leaving a trail of destruction from Albuquerque, NM (May 24th) to Oklahoma City, OK (June 18th). Full tour dates are below. Prepare for total sonic obliteration with support from Dope and A Killer’s Confession.
Vocalist Bl0thR the Berserker gives a preview of what you can expect from the tour: “GWAR have been rewriting the rules of live music for 40 years. We just keep getting sicker and sicker, and we will NOT die! We can’t, we’re freaking immortal, and this anniversary tour is some of the sickest stuff we’ve ever come up with! Cum see it. You’re gonna shit.”

Blood. Spectacle. Mythology. Costumes. And more blood. Since forming in Richmond, Virginia in 1985, shock-metal legends GWAR have built an enduring legacy through over-the-top lyrics, mesmerizing live shows, and an intimate connection with their fans. Known for their barbaric interplanetary warrior costumes and chaotic, humor-filled performances, GWAR’s visceral, blood-soaked concerts break physical barriers with their audience, creating a truly unforgettable experience. Their seminal 1990 album ‘Scumdogs of the Universe’ catapulted them into the mainstream and remains a cornerstone of their career, receiving a deluxe reissue in 2020.
Beyond music, GWAR embodies a lifestyle with ventures into skateboards, coffee, CBD, beer, and whiskey. As they approach 40 years, with new music on the horizon, GWAR’s limitless creativity and sheer fun continue to keep fans coming back for more—along with a whole lot of fake blood
