GWAR-B-Q

== GWAR-B-Q ==
Since 2009 Gwar has hosted an annual festival in Richmond, VA called "Gwar-B-Q". The festival boasts of barbecue, rock-and-roll vendors, a haunted house of sorts (which "bohabs" can visit to be spewed and bled upon) and live music. Held at Hadad's Lake, a natural water park in Richmond, Gwar-B-Q has quickly grown into a destination event having hosted bands like Clutch, Down, Cannibal Corpse, Municipal Waste, Body Count, Dead Earth Politics, Cancer Bats, and The Dickies among others. At the 2014 Gwar-B-Q, the first since Dave Brockie's death, the singer's Oderus Urungus character was given a Viking funeral, with his stage costume burned on a funeral pyre on Hadad's Lake.
According to various GWAR members, the GWAR-B-Q started as a normal bbq among friends and fans, but the sauce that was used for the food became popular, and one thing led to another, and it became a big mini-festival.
The GWAR-B-Q has not been held since 2014.
