GWAR at The Studio At The Factory

GWAR

Gwar is a heavy metal band formed in Richmond, VA, in 1984. The band is best known for its elaborate science fiction/horror film inspired costumes, obscene lyrics and graphic stage performances, which feature humorous enactments of politically and morally taboo themes. Their grotesque costumes make them easy to identify, and their science-fiction mythology theme only adds to the band portrayal of them being warriors.

Tesla

In 2016, Tesla celebrated the 30th anniversary of their debut, and to date, most successful album Mechanical Resonance, with a live re-recording of all songs. With the original LP hitting platinum in 1989, the band has remained one of the biggest metal bands on the planet. Don't miss them live, a chance to sing-a-long to hits like "Modern Day Cowboy" and "Love Song" with the band, and 100s of other fans!

The Finnish cello metal band formed with the intention of playing Metallica and other heavy metal band covers, but each subsequent release featured more and more original music until fourth album Reflections announced their fully-fledged status as original artists.
