GWAR brings their notorious intergalactic shock rock spectacle to Brooklyn Bowl, and this is one show where you'll want to dress in clothes you don't mind ruining. The self-proclaimed alien warriors from the planet Scumdogia have been terrorizing stages since the mid-'80s with their blend of heavy metal, elaborate monster costumes, and geysers of fake blood and bodily fluids that drench the crowd. It's part concert, part theater, part wrestling match, and entirely bizarre.

The band's live performances are legendary for their over-the-top stage production featuring massive props, mythological creatures, and satirical violence aimed at pop culture figures and politicians alike. Behind the latex and rubber costumes are skilled musicians who deliver crushing riffs and thunderous rhythms, but the spectacle is just as much about the visual chaos unfolding on stage. Brooklyn Bowl's intimate setting means nowhere in the venue is truly safe from the spray zone, making this an all-ages event where "all ages" means everyone gets equally covered in whatever substances GWAR decides to unleash that night.
