Who Is On Tour With Marilyn Manson?

The metal band Marilyn Manson has recently unveiled plans for an extensive tour set for 2023 with support from Rob Zombie, Mudvayne, and Static-X.

Alternative rock god Marilyn Manson Tickets revealed details of a forthcoming North American tour in 2023 with major co-headliners and openers. The tour is fittingly called Monsters of the End after Manson's upcoming album, starting July 6th in Detroit and leaving August 16th after sweeping through major American cities including Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Houston, Phoenix, and more.

Joining Manson as the opening act for the whole tour is none other than the man responsible for shaping modern metal, Rob Zombie. Zombie is famous for being the lead singer of the heavy metal band White Zombie in the 90s, a successful solo artist who released seven studio albums, and a director of horror films such as House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. It does not come as a surprise that a concert featuring Manson and Zombie will be a dramatic and energetic one from two celebrities of rock music.

Also joining for the whole tour are Mudvayne, who had just reunited, and Static-X, who are considered the pioneers of industrial metal. Originally, the band Mudvayne has disbanded since 2010, but the band had a reunion in 2021. As a band with such unique and complicated beat patterns coupled with a prog-metal aesthetic, Mudvayne will definitely add some musicianship to the Monsters of the End Tour. Static-X was another band that emerged during the nineties nü-metal movement, featuring future hits like Push It. However, their charismatic frontman Wayne Static passed away in 2014; the band reconvened in 2019 with a new masked singer dubbed Xer0 and continued releasing new material.

Additional Supporting Acts

However, three of the biggest headliners are only the tip of the iceberg, as the Monsters of the End Tour will encompass an impressive list of co-headliners and other bands that will open for them at different dates. The diverse lineup of the bands shows the extent of the genres of heavy music that Manson and Zombie have contributed to and have gotten inspiration from.

From time to time, the original pioneers of industrial dance ministry will be taken on stage to perform their loud, militaristic hits. Ministry is an industrial metal band formed in 1981 by singer Al Jourgensen that actively performs polemical, aggressive songs. The nights will also tremble to Georgian progressive metal band Mastodon. Thanks to the precise playing and intellectual lyrics, Mastodon is undoubtedly one of the most popular and progressive bands in modern metal.

For some of the shows, another Japanese band, Babymetal, also comes to the stage to share the frenzy. Their creative combination of singing and rapping with heavy metal, dancing, and cuteness in their appearance and costumes as well as in their music videos has attracted a large fan base in different parts of the world. Another band, Wednesday 13, is a relatively new horror-rock band that will open for Murderdolls on other dates of the tour.

There will also be guest performances from the peculiar aggrotech acts Lords of Acid, the electronic rockers from Julien-K, and the modern metal of Deepfall on selected shows. With such an amazing list of additional performers, each date of the Monsters of the End Tour will be special and unforgettably loud.

Marilyn Manson is not wasting any time; a new album is on its way.

The Monsters of the End Tour gets its name from the rock star's 13th studio album scheduled to be released soon. Set for release in the first half of this year, it is Manson's first proper record since the 2020 album We Are Chaos, which many considered a solid comeback for the often misunderstood and maligned king of shock rock. Despite some flirtation with AOR and blues rock in the 2010s, Chaos lost some of the initial industrial metal and glam rock aura of Manson.

That being said, given the recent single called We Are Chaos, the new Monsters of the End LP will likely find Manson pushing himself into new levels of heaviness and aggression he hasn't been for quite some time. From the news arising from the album's early reviews, it appears that this is another discography that revolves around Manson's personal vices and self-destruction, as seen through his typical dark lens. Musically, it is said to contain the influences of classic metal, punk rock, gothic rock, and the kind of industrial music that Manson was responsible for developing.

Manson's Monsters of the End album has been co-produced with Shooter Jennings, son of the country outlaw Waylon Jennings; based on the early reports, the album presents Manson at his most sinister and dark since his peak years of the 90s and early 00s. In addition to these, when it comes to live performances, the touring lineup of Monsters of the End Tour will perform with more firepower, and fans should anticipate seeing Manson and his band in their most savage form.

Be sure to grab tickets soon for this mighty shock rock show, which is traveling across the length and breadth of North America throughout the summer. With Rob Zombie, Mudvayne, Static-X, and other murderers rowing backing acts, Marilyn and his manson family plan to make every show utterly wild. You wouldn't want to miss Manson in a whole new form as the Monsters of the End invade your city!
