2025 marks a grotesque and glorious milestone: the 40th anniversary of Gwar, Earth's most unapologetically vile alien overlords and undisputed pioneers of shock rock. With four decades of chaos, blood-drenched theatrics, and unfiltered satire under their oversized belts, Gwar is celebrating the only way they know how—by dragging humanity straight into the bowels of the Earth for an underground livestream spectacular.
On August 22, Gwar will unleash Live From The Hellmouth, a one-night-only live broadcast streaming exclusively on VEEPS, filmed deep within The Caverns in Pelham, TN – a legendary subterranean venue that's about to become the site of interstellar carnage. The performance begins at 9:00 PM EST and promises to be one of the most unhinged and unholy livestreams in shock rock history.
Broadcasting from what Gwar calls "a real live hellmouth," this special concert event puts the band in their natural habitat: underground, unfiltered, and covered in blood, bile, and body parts. With their signature grotesque costumes, absurdly violent stage antics, and blistering metal onslaught, Gwar will once again redefine the boundaries of live performance (and decency).
Early bird tickets are on sale now at VEEPS.com, and include a seven-day unlimited replay for all viewers. Subscribers to VEEPS All Access can watch the show for free as part of their membership. Fans can also grab exclusive merch bundles featuring a one-of-a-kind Gwar t-shirt and – fittingly – a Gwar Super-Soaker to replicate the band's infamous on-stage spray zone.
Front-creature Blothar the Berserker had this to say about the upcoming show: "Gwar coming at you live from the very gates of hell. Talk about a shitty gated community, who runs this HOA? We decided to do a gig at a real live hellmouth at the Caverns in Pelham, Tennessee. Not since Buffy the Vampire Slayer has a hellmouth seen so much death and destruction. We kicked the devil's ass, and now you can watch a video stream of the whole bloody affair!"
This hell-raising livestream follows closely on the heels of Gwar's highly anticipated new multimedia release, The Return of Gor Gor, out July 25. Gwar is also hitting the road later this year, this time with Helmet, Dwarves, and Blood Vulture as support. The tour – dubbed The Return of Gor Gor Tour – kicks off on October 18 in Salt Lake City, UT and supports Gwar's upcoming multi-media release The Return of Gor Gor, out July 25 via Pit Records/Z2 Comics. Get your tickets here.
"Gor Gor demands sacrifice! The Tyrant Teen is all grown up and he wants love!" said Blothar. "Don't look him in the eye!! The beast demands a bride! Come in your bridal finery. An ocean of chiffon to satisfy the bloodlust of the great lizard!"
