Do you like barbecues? What about gore and heavy metal? T-shirts rubbed on the host band's guitarist's ass? Well then is there ever an event for you!
So Gwar's BBQ is literally going to be none of that. Sorry. 
On the real, what you need to know is that it takes place in Richmond, VA, at Hadad's Water Park on August 17 with a day-before party taking place… well, the day before. It will also feature Gwar's barbecue sauce, which is very important for you to know. Got it? Good! Onward!
Before we get into the details here, don't you go out and start trying to buy your tickets from Gwar's BBQ website that go on sale June 6! You can win them instead from Richmond's 102.1 "The X" radio station. Along with tickets, you'll also win a pass to the after party, a chance to be Gwar's slave for a day, which the press release describes as "could entail duties as critically important as draining the pus from Pustulus' scabby leg-enders to sitting around backstage in everybody's way while getting completely hammered until you are thrown into a trash dumpster." Hooray! If you're going to just buy and not win like a friggin' loser, the packages are:
Standard Ticket – $30: All Day Event Entry – all the bands, all the fun, all the flailing! Completely free for the low price of 30 bucks!
Deluxe Ticket – $40:All Day Event Entry – all the fun, farts, and flailing, as well as an "official" 2013 GWAR-B-Q T-shirt, actually rubbed on Beefcake's ass at one point or another.
Premium Ticket – $100: All Day Event Entry, Official GWAR-B-Q T-shirt, GWAR-B-Q 2012 DVD, (see if you can find yourself throwing up) and an exclusive laminate VIP Pass for the "Meat & Beat" signing, where you can meet and hang out with the band, take photos to your hearts delight, and watch in horror as your hot or not hot girlfriend is dragged all too willingly into the special "Abyss of Abuse", to be sullied in ways unthinkable. This ticket also includes free admission to the "B4BQ", and the GWAFTER PARTY EVENT, where you can hang with the band and the artists of GWAR in a rare out of costume experience. More details will be announced in the coming weeks. You will also have the chance to win an opportunity to appear on stage with GWAR, and be ground into pulp in our gore-choked meat grinder.
Oh, and then there's the line-up! Because concerts are important too. Not only is the line-up absolutely sick this year, but also features a reunion of X-Cops!
"Just because we have all of the original members doesn't mean the band hasn't been progressing,," said Cobb Knobbler, the X-Cops gay, satanic, Nazi bass player,. "I for one have been exploring the world of drug dog law enforcement…not handling the animals, but actually becoming one, through a series of extremely painful and expensive surgical procedures…the results of which I plan on unveiling at the actual GWAR-B-Q., giving me the legal right to ravage your genitals in search of cocaine!"
We already wrote about the rest of the line-up, so go check that out here!
