Richmond-bred heavy metal outfit — and our Lords — GWAR took the stage on Sunday to an excitable crowd at Riot Fest 2024. While the rain had died down for the day, people closer to the pit donned ponchos and rain gear. This wasn’t because of the forecast, but because of the GWAR juice that the band is known for, this time in the form of blood immediately raining down at the beginning of their set.

These guys are some serious fun. Highlights below.
