Read full details
The infamous shock-metal band GWAR brings its over-the-top theatrical assault to Cleveland, alongside a formidable lineup of extreme-metal peers. Since forming in 1984, GWAR has built a legacy on elaborately costumed performances that satirize politics and society through grotesque violence and scatological humor, often drenching audiences in fake blood. Attendees can expect a night of unapologetically loud, filthy, and confrontational heavy metal.
The supporting cast includes Midnight, Mac Sabbath, and X-Cops, each adding their own brand of intensity. With a dedicated cult following and a Grammy-nominated video history, GWAR remains a uniquely immersive live experience that's equal parts concert and interactive theater.
