GWAR have announced a run of US headlining shows in May and June celebrating their 40th anniversary. The new dates will bookend their previously announced North American tour as direct support for Static-X.
The first six shows run from May 16th in Columbia, South Carolina, through May 22nd in Austin, Texas, while the other two gigs take place June 20th in Pensacola, Florida, and June 21st in Pelham, Tennessee. Toxic Holocaust will support the first six shows, while EYEHATEGOD will support the final two gigs, with Aether Realm and Tracheotomy opening all dates. A special May 17th concert in Lexington, Kentucky, will also feature co-headliner Arch Enemy.
A Live Nation pre-sale starts Thursday (February 20th) at 10 a.m. local time using the code DUET, while a general on-sale begins Friday (February 21st) at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster.
As mentioned, the new headlining dates come before and after GWAR’s run with Static-X on the “Machines vs. Monsters” North American tour. Tickets for those dates are already available here.
GWAR will also perform at the Sonic Temple and Welcome to Rockville festivals, and headline the third night of Milwaukee Metal Fest, all taking place in May.
Of course, you can prepare for your local GWAR show by picking up a few of the band’s Bud of Gods CBD products, including flower, gummies, and more at this location.
