Doors open at 10AM, with the first band to commandeer the stage at 11AM. Municipal Waste, Corrosion of Conformity, Pig Destroyer, Cannabis Corpse, Loincloth, and our personal faves, Kung-Fu Dykes, are set to perform, among others to be announced at a later date.

"Once again we blow the horn of war and set into motion the gears that grind us towards the greatest Gwar-B-Q yet," said Oderus Urungus, the cod piece behind GWAR. "We will not only be rockin' like Dokken and slippin' the cock in, but we will shoving a wealth of GWAR products down your throat...not only our new Gwar-B-Q sauce, but our very own beer, Impaled Ale! Eat and drink yourself into a diabetic stupor, then puke it all up in the slam pit! It's gonna fucking rule!"
