Punk! Metal! Beer! Pools! What can go wrong?

Punk! Metal! Beer! Pools! What can go wrong?

As if Gwar-B-Q wasn't crazy enough this year, it has now been announced legendary punk outfit The Misfits will be playing the August 16 event alongside Gwar themselves and a whole slew of other sick artists! As usual the event will be held at Hadad's Lake in Richmond, VA, and will include a viking-style funeral for the late Dave Brockie a day before on August 15.

Just announced is that legendary punk icon Jello Biafra will be the master of ceremonies for the Brockie/Oderus viking funeral:

GWAR demands that all attend the Dave Brockie Memorial one day before the GWAR B-Q. Fans, friends and possibly protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church will gather from 4:00pm to 7:00pm on Friday, August 15 at Hadad's Lake. We can now announce that Jello Biafra – punk icon, Dead Kennedys front man and actor in GWAR's long-form video Skulhedface – will serve as the memorial's master of ceremonies. Tribute will be paid to both Brockie and Oderus Urungus, as the Scumdog soldier will receive a Viking funeral set ablaze upon the SS Boat. Show up and bid Oderus farewell as he travels to Valhalla and beyond!

So we've got a proper send-off for a legendary frontman and another great band added to an already awesome lineup. Tickets and more info can be found at GWARBQ.com
