GWAR 2026 Tour Announcement – Gor Gor Strikes Back Tour Schedule
GWAR is flying into 2026 with their signature grotesque costumes, political satire, and heavy metal with a vicious twist. They’ll begin the “Gor Gor Strikes Back Tour” on March 19th in Richmond, VA, stopping in cities across the country before wrapping up April 29th in Charlotte, NC.
“GWAR, Soulfly, and King Parrot. This tour will be a ritual orgy of death, sex, violence and rock and fu**ing roll!” the group said in a statement. “Let the severed heads rain, bouncing down the pyramid onto a heap of human skulls. Be there humans, or be left to suffer on this planet while we party in the stars!” Anyone who’s seen a GWAR concert knows this imagery isn’t just talk — it’s a pretty accurate preview.
Let’s just say the front row may get wet. GWAR is notorious for fake blood, political caricatures, and outrageous stage gags that turn every show into a full-blown spectacle. It’s equal parts performance art and metal concert, and it’s earned them a reputation as one of the most entertaining live acts in heavy music. Songs like “Sick of You,” “Bring Back the Bomb,” “Tenderize Me,” and “War on GWAR” somehow hit even harder when accompanied by flying limbs and chaos.
Beneath all the blood, chainsaws, aliens, and absurdism, though, is a band that has known how to crush riffs and ignite mosh pits since 1984. Fans will hear plenty from 2022’s The New Dark Ages alongside classic cuts as this run picks up where the “Return of Gor Gor” tour left off. If you’re ready for controlled mayhem and metal at its most unhinged, you know what to do. Get your verified resale tickets now.
