After a tough couple months, GWAR is back with their “Return of the World Maggot Tour”. Supporting acts include Municipal Waste and Ghoul, with Legacy of Disorder joining the tour on March 20 in Boston, MA. Their excursion kicks off with special tribute to Cory Smoot, AKA Flattus Maximus, in Richmond, VA. All procedes from this show at The Nation Theater will benefit the Smoot Family Fund. Tickets are already on sale, so head over to Ticketmaster and make purchase.
GWAR spokesman, Dave Brockie, had this to say of the upcoming tour:
All of the years doing GWAR could have never prepared us for what we have been through, and I want to thank the metal community and the extended GWAR family for all of your support. Finishing that last tour was the hardest thing we have ever had to do, and we still have about half of the country left to hit. We will continue as a four-piece, with the special tribute to Flattus at the end of the show, in order to give our fans a chance to say goodbye to our fallen Scumdog brother in true GWAR fashion-covered in blood and rocking the fuck out! After this tour is over we can start looking to the future and begin to put this tragedy behind us. But for now we are still in “Hail Flattus” mode!
