Tonight (August 2nd), Marilyn Manson returned to the stage for the first time since before the pandemic, performing a mix of old and newer songs during the opening night of FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH’s summer arena tour.
The concert took place at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and marked Manson’s first live appearance since performing two songs at the Heaven Is Rock & Roll Gala at the Hollywood Palladium in January 2020. It also marked the shock rocker’s first full show since he concluded a headlining tour in fall 2019, preceding his last album, 2020’s We Are Chaos.
His newly unveiled live band notably features CODE ORANGE‘s Reba Meyers on guitar and Piggy D (ex-Rob Zombie) on bass. Returning recent members Tyler Bates and Gil Sharone (ex-THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN) are on guitar and drums, respectively.
Fan-filmed video footage from the show can be seen below.
Manson is currently attempting a comeback his new single “As Sick As The Secrets Within,“ after facing accusations of sexual abuse from multiple women, including Westworld star Evan Rachel Wood, in early 2021. He has publicly denied the allegations, but has since been involved in a series of court battles, most of which have been settled or dismissed.
