That's right; one of the most notorious bands in rock and roll history and the only one ever to hail from Antarctica, the mighty GWAR is set to close the main stage on Saturday night, June the 12th, at this year's Bonnaroo Music Festival. After a host of other amazing bands (and some shitty ones) have driven the humans into an orgiastic frenzy, just as the death legions of Cardinal Syn descend from above, spewing plasma weapons into the horrified crowd, then and only then shall GWAR take the stage; hoof, nail and claw!

"This is an unprecedented opportunity for us to bust up our personal best "kill count" of 70,000 deaths, which we inflicted on the humans at Wacken last year. Supposedly there will be over 100,000 potential victims - and we intend to kill them all!"

In yet another nod to the stellar magnificence of GWAR, this world's only openly-extraterrestrial rock outfit, they will be sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in show biz with everybody from Jay-Z to the Melvins.

"Personally, I am looking forward to nostri-raping the entire Dave Matthews Band", said Oderus, mouthing off as usual. The summer shows offer no reprieve as GWAR returns to Europe in a hideous display of chaos, death and, of course, filth! Not in the whole of Europe's blood-drenched history will you find such a hideous gathering of damned souls as you will when you witness GWAR this summer in Europe.
