Just Announced GWAR and Municipal Waste at the Fox Theatre

Over 25 years of costumed theatrics, fake bodily fluids, and elaborate sci-fi-themed metal is nothing to sneeze at—unless, of course, you’re GWAR, in which case you’ve likely got a line of super-fans in the front row hoping to be covered in viscous layers of snot and sputum. Like a drama-club fantasy gone unchecked, GWAR celebrated a quarter century of revelry in the geeky and macabre in 2009 with the release of its 11th studio album, Lust In Space. Appropriately enough, the anniversary album debuted at number 96 on the Billboard Top 200 chart—the highest GWAR has ever charted. Sadly, guitarist Cory Smoot, who portrayed Flattus Maximus for the more than 10 years, was found dead on the tour bus in 2011. As something their oldest member, as well as its many snot-covered fans, would surely want, GWAR is carrying on, including a stop at the Fox Theatre March 31. Tickets go on sale at noon Jan. 27 for $25—plus $2 for the under 21 fans—and are well worth it since thrash wizards Municipal Waste are also playing.
