GWAR Confirmed For BONNAROO MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL

February 18, 2010

GWAR has been confirmed for the 2010 edition of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, set to take place June 10-13 in Manchester, Tennessee.

Commented GWAR frontman Oderus Urungus: "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 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!"

"America Must Be Destroyed", GWAR's 1992 opus, can now be purchased in a special edition digipak that's also crammed with a DVD that includes the seminal GWAR films "Tour De Scum" and "Phallus In Wonderland".

"Let Us Slay", the new video from GWAR, was shot in Richmond, Virginia by director David Brodsky (SUICIDE SILENCE, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, WHITECHAPEL) and his MyGoodEye crew.

GWAR's new album, "Lust In Space", sold around 5,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 96 on The Billboard 200 chart.

Kill TV has uploaded a three-camera edit of GWAR's November 24, 2009 performance at the Grand Ballroom in San Francisco, California. Watch the clip below.
