Inimitable heavy metal band GWAR announced more fall 2024 tour dates on Monday, including a show in the Valley.

They'll perform at Marquee Theatre in Tempe on Oct. 18. Supporting acts are Dark Funeral and Squid Pisser.

The new tour dates begin on Oct. 17 and run through the upcoming presidential election, something the band is quite aware of.

"Get ready to mumble!!! On this tour we will CHRONIC-le the embarrassing loser-takes-all choice between a neurodivergent fascist and a desiccated mummy to be the leader of the free world. What could possibly go wrong?" GWAR member Blothar the Berserker said in the tour announcement.

The artist presale begins at 10 a.m. on Tuesday. A Marquee Theatre presale begins on Thursday in advance of the general on-sale at 10 a.m. on Friday.
