GWAR at Skyway Theatre (11 Oct 2019)

We’ve seen a few of these bands before, with
GWAR as one of our most favorite, from
Oct 2019: “You see, with each tour, there is a new storyline in the world of Gwar. Last year, the band killed Donald Trump, so this tour, the band is being impeached by the planet Earth. With a new storyline, that meant new songs (to fit with the them) and also delightful new dialogue from the band. Even if you don’t like metal music, you’ll still be very entertained by beheading (and the infamous blood squirts - so wear a raincoat to these shows!), puppets, and incredible costumes. Personally speaking, it’s the most entertaining show we’ve seen all year.”
The updated lineup is now as follows:

The 45th
Festival International de Jazz de Montréal (FIJM), presented by TD Bank Group in collaboration with Rio Tinto, will be taking place in downtown Montreal, Canada, on June 26 to July 5, 2025. The festival will span over 350 concerts, with more than half are free of charge!
Ticket sales for paid concerts went on sale yesterday (April 17), with FIJM newsletter subscribers having early access the day before.
Maurin Auxéméry, Director of Programming, commented, “The FIJM team has once again brilliantly risen to the challenge of curating a lineup as bold as it is accessible. After 45 years, this event, a crossroads between the local and international scenes, still knows how to reinvent itself, keep up with the times and redefine what jazz is, here and now. It is a remedy to the challenges of our era, an opportunity to come together and celebrate the unifying power of music, beyond genres and borders.”
