GWAR

GWAR is a shock-rock institution built around elaborate monster costumes, stage blood by the gallon, and songs that skewer politics and pop culture while sounding like a thrash metal assault. The band has spent decades turning concerts into gory theatrical spectacles, complete with characters battling onstage and audiences soaked in fake fluids of every color.

They bring that whole grotesque circus to the Ogden Theatre for a Colorado stop. Front rows should expect to get messy, and that is the point.
