Gwar Are Heading Out On Large North American Tour This Fall

August 21st, 2014

Kriston McConnell

“Dark clouds of war and ill omen have gathered around GWAR. In our hour of greatest peril, Oderus has left us and our enemies stand poised, ready to strike while they sense weakness. But we shall no longer cower in our Antarctic stronghold, awaiting Destiny’s final blow. This Fall GWAR sets out on the most trying quest of our career. We shall scour our leader’s favorite stomping ground, North America, leaving no city unsearched, no venue unraised, and no sheep unmolested. GWAR will venture to the depths of Hell or to the very end of Time itself, and though I fear what we may encounter out there, I know that we can never return home until we have the answer we seek: ‘Where is Oderus Urungus?’”

The above text is the story behind Gwar‘s upcoming headlining tour they just announced. They are embarking on an epic journey to find their long lost leader (the late Dave Brockie, aka Oderus Urungus) which will take them all across North America. The tour, which has been named GWAR Eternal Tour, will kick off this October and not wrap up until the middle of December. They will be sharing the stage with various other bands, including Decapitated, American Sharks and more. Find a full list of dates, venues and some guest spots by checking below.
