GWAR have announced their first U.S. tour dates of 2026, taking the Gor Gor Strikes Back Tour back out this coming spring with support from Soulfly and King Parrot. The tour comes as the band continues to support their latest effort, The Return of Gor Gor, that was issued earlier this year.
Where Can I Catch GWAR in 2026?
GWAR will be kicking off their 2026 touring at The National in Richmond, Va. on March 19. That show starts a month-plus run that will take the outrageous rockers through the U.S. before wrapping things up on April 29 at The Fillmore in Charlotte, N.C.
All cities, dates and venues can be viewed below. As previously stated, Soulfly will serve as direct support on the run, while King Parrot will open shows.
The Berserker Blothar says of the run, “GWAR, Soulfly and King Parrot. This tour will be a ritual orgy of death, sex, violence and rock and fucking roll!! Let the severed heads rain, bouncing down the pyramid onto a heap of human skulls. Be there humans, or be left to suffer on this planet while we party in the stars!”
