The band’s set at Riot Fest this weekend was no different, as they beheaded Elon Musk and stabbed Trump. Both conservative-leaning websites Brietbart and New York Post have published articles on the band’s performance at Riot Fest, while videos of GWAR circulated widely on X/Twitter throughout the weekend. GWAR is to violence what the New York Post is to journalism. Whether it was the band, Riot Fest, or a devoted fan, the stunt clearly worked. If the goal was to rile up MAGA and give GWAR a burst of viral attention, consider it mission accomplished.
