Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson Reunite for Second “Twins of Evil” Tour
Rock legends Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson are once again teaming up to do what they do best: put on a performance that transcends the bounds of production. The pair will be co-headlining this summer in their second “Twins of Evil” tour, a 29-date North American trek that will hopefully feature less drama between the two.
The journey will be dubbed, “Twins of Evil: The Second Coming,” and is in support of their most recent albums, Zombie’s The Electric Warlock Acid With Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser (2016) and Manson’s Heaven Upside Down (2017).
The tour will kick off in Clarkston, Michigan on July 11 at the DTE Energy Music Theatre, with stops in Toronto, Atlanta and Denver, among others. The final show will be held in Irvine, California on August 29 at Fivepoint Amphitheater.
Zombie and Manson made headlines during their first “Twins of Evil” tour back in 2012. The drama unfolded when Manson went past his allotted time while performing in Clarkston, the first stop of this upcoming tour. Zombie cussed out Manson onstage and the pair exchanged heated words after the show.
Since then, the rock icons have settled their differences, even finishing their first tour on good terms. Zombie later said in a 2014 interview that he would consider touring with Manson again… and here we are!
Who is Rob Zombie?
Zombie, a singer and filmmaker who often uses clips from horror films in his music, embarked on his solo career after a successful run with his band, White Zombie. He released his debut album Hellbilly Deluxe in 1998, which spawned hits like “Dragula” and “Living Dead Girl.” While in White Zombie, he wrote two platinum albums and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance. Zombie has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide across six studio albums and two live releases.
Who is Marilyn Manson?
Manson, a four-time Grammy nominee, broke out into the music scene in 1994 with a shocking stage performance and persona. His twisted take on rock and scandalous image earned him an immediate audience. His 1997 album, Antichrist Superstar sold more than 7 million copies worldwide and yielded his most popular hit, “The Beautiful People.” Manson is known as a master of covers with his takes on classics such as “Personal Jesus,” “Tainted Love” and his first big MTV hit, “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).”
