Thrash metal overlords Gwar have announced their Soundwave sideshow date, and the show may well include a bloody murder of our nation’s PM.

At least that’s what Gwar’s Oderus Urungus told us in a recent interview, promising to “win over Australia forever” by cutting a certain high-profile politician down to size. In the past, Gwar’s audiences have witnessed the onstage slaughter of Lady Gaga, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Sure, everyone’s laughing along, but Urungus declares: “You can tell we are for real.”

See Gwar with Amon Amarth, Satyricon and The Black Dahlia Murder at the Factory Theatre on Wednesday February 26. Tickets on sale 9am Thursday February 13 through Ticketek.
