GWAR Announce Fall 2022 North American Tour Dates

GWAR have announced an extensive fall 2022 North American leg for their “Black Death Rager World Tour.”

Last month, the band wrapped up a run supporting its latest album, The New Dark Ages, and a tie-in graphic novel. Bohabs rejoice: GWAR are heading back out for another string of dates and hitting a ton of markets along the way.

The outing kicks off on September 10th in Alton, Virginia, and runs through November 3rd in Baltimore. Light the Torch, Nekrogoblikon, and Crobot will provide support. General ticket sales begin today (July 15th) at noon ET, with pre-sales for select dates already active using the codes ELECTRIC or DARKAGES. Pick up tickets via Ticketmaster.

The upcoming shows will be the first to bring the upcoming graphic novel to life onstage. Illustrious frontman Blothar the Berserker — the novel’s protagonist — offered the following statement via a press release:

“Long ago, GWAR broke the frame of what a rock concert can be. We’ve pushed the envelope of live performance for decades, but this time around, we wanted to do something different. This is the first GWAR show conceived to go along with a graphic novel and an album, all working together as one massive hunk of hot steaming shock rock performance ART! A can’t-miss cavalcade of chaos, a trash culture trilogy, a shocking extravaganza that will leave you utterly spent, soaking wet, and bawling uncontrollably. We’ve got the coolest storyline, unbelievable new characters, more blood, gore, and gags than ever before. Come, unload your worries, human scum, and let GWAR transport you to the Duoverse of absurdity just in time for the NEW DARK AGE!”
