Do you enjoy consuming tasty barbecue? How about swimming on a hot summer's day? Do you find competitive sport and live music entertaining? If you answered yes to any of these questions than Gwar has the event for you! Picture thousands of people consuming red meat, head banging to Valient Thorr, GHOUL and The Casualties all while getting liquored up in the hot Virginia sun! I am not talking about your last wet dream, I am talking about the one and only GWAR-B-Q!
Hell yes this is real and hell yes it will kick major ass! Back for it's third year the GWAR-B-Q is one of Richmond, Virginia's biggest summer music festivals featuring two stages of music headlined by the kings of splat themselves, Gwar. With tons of food vendors, games, and something dubbed the "Spew-O-Lympics" this year's GWAR-B-Q looks to be the biggest and best yet.
Gwar's vocalist and king creature, Oderus Urungus commented saying:
"All the proper arrangements have been made in triplicate and the proper demonic sponsorships attained. It's going to be a stinking hot, beer and beef-smeared metallic murderfest of unprecedented debauchery…the most splat-tac-cular GWAR-B-Q!"
On top of all that, the event will see the return of the Sexecutioner to the Gwar stage for the first time in twelve years! Oderus, as giddy as a little school ghoul said, "I can't tell you how ecstatic I am to once again be engaging in acts of necro-bestial delight with my old buddy, The Sexecutioner. Well actually, I can. I am ecstatic to once again be engaging in acts of necro-bestial delight with my old buddy, The Sexecutioner."
The event looks bad ass and makes me wish I lived in Richmond, Virginia. (Maybe we could get a multi-city tour next year huh huh, wink wink, nudge nudge…) The event will be held on August 18th at Hadad's Lake and some of the proceeds from the event are even going to benefit Richmond's Ring Dog Rescue.
