Marilyn Manson on Tour
Although a shock-rock persona made Marilyn Manson a target of criticism in the '90s and early '00s, the hard rocker today is a highly respected, Alice Cooper–like figure. That comparison holds for Manson's flamboyant, aggressive music — combining influences from industrial, metal and glam — and flashy live shows, which boast ornate costumes, dizzying light shows and impressive staging. Appropriately enough, Manson toured with Cooper in 2013 on the Masters of Madness Tour, although that trek was simply one of his many well-suited live gig pairings. Back in the '90s, he opened for fellow metallic electro-rockers Nine Inch Nails, while in 2018 and 2019, Manson toured with Rob Zombie on a trek dubbed Twins of Evil. Around his own tours, Manson has also performed at major rock festivals such as Louder Than Life, Aftershock, Download and Rock on the Range.
Marilyn Manson in Concert
Born Brian Warner, Marilyn Manson grew up in Canton, Ohio, and later moved to Florida and studied journalism in college. Life had other plans, though. The aspiring musician formed the group Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids in 1989. In 1993, the group signed a record deal with the Trent Reznor–owned Nothing Records, which released the landmark 1994 debut album, Portrait of an American Family. In the years after, Manson was nominated for four Grammy Awards on the way to releasing 1996's alternative-music totem Antichrist Superstar and releasing singles that dabbled in glam ("The Beautiful People"), sludgy grunge ("The Dope Show," a cover of Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams") and sizzling industrial ("mOBSCENE"). Manson also expanded his empire beyond music, dabbling in art, acting (including on Sons of Anarchy) and soundtrack work. In fact, albums such as 2015's The Pale Emperor even have a cinematic bent, courtesy of a collaboration with noted film composer Tyler Bates.

Yeah let’s go I said when I knew they would be here in Chicago! The band sounded awesome, vibe was great and Manson still got it!!
After well over a decade of sloppy live performances, Manson has finally cleaned up his act, found sobriety, and is putting on shows like he did 20 years ago. I skipped his shows for at least 18 years because everything I saw of his live performances, interviews, and even his albums have been on a spectrum of embarrassing to terrible. I had a great time after so many years seeing him reestablish his great potential as a performer. I encourage anyone who has been yearning to see a good Marilyn Manson show to run, don't walk to figure out a way to see him. It's basically a renaissance for old school Manson fans.
I've seen Marilyn Manson a lot over the years, and this last show of his was one of the best ever. He's sober, focused, and rocked the house down. It was a phenomenal show!!
Incredible show. Marilyn Manson always puts on an amazing show.
This was the best performance of Marilyn Manson I’ve seen period. Show was outstanding and set list went all the way back to Portrait! Don’t miss this if you are new or old to Manson’s music!!
Marilyn Manson was in top form when he and his band took the stage at Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom on Aug. 17th. Delivering the goods on old hits, a few classic gems from the early days, and also the recently released single As Sick As The Secrets Within, Manson proved he is still the showman that can win a crowd that’s he’s been for decades. Opening band Slaughter To Prevail also put on a great opening set that had the bodies moving the floor.
Manson was absolutely astounding. He played for over an hour and a half and sounded absolutely incredible, like it was 2001 again. I was one row behind the rail and could not have asked for a better spot. His voice was so on point and I will definitely be seeing him again when he comes back. THE KING IS BACK!!
Finally saw Marilyn Manson live. I would have liked to have seen him play more old school songs.
Tickets are extremely overpriced now. I guess I'll just wait till he tours as the headliner. I can't see paying $1400 for tickets so far away from the stage. I'm a huge fan of Manson and I was really looking forward to going but for just a 45 minute set of him for they price I'd rather just wait to get the full concert and the new album at the same time. These ticket people charge way to much.
he’s back!!!! go see him! He also has Piggy D on guitar! ♥️🤘🏾♥️🤘🏾
Sobriety has done him well. He looks healthy and sounds absolutely amazing. I have been a fan for decades, but his pre-Covid shows were meh. He is back and better than ever!
I just saw him in Nashville and I can assure you he’s back and he sounds great!!
I was extremely excited about this beautiful performance, felt so many emotions hours prior to the show. When the sound permeated my ears I was so thankful as there’s nothing disappointing about the music played that night. Marilyn Manson came out on stage not one second late and the entire show took me back to 1997-98🤘🏽🫀❤️ 2000 ; hands down Amazing, I cried. Thankful, so much love. The set list oh my, angel with the scab wings, coma white, great big white world, Tourniquet, the love song, as sick as the secrets within, sweet dreams, beautiful people, so many beautiful songs that I loved for so many years and the single that just dropped! Damn it was amazing. Sounded so beautiful 🤘🏽❤️.
Marilyn looks great , voice was over the top spot on, the band was tight . The crowd knew every word , it was all the old favorites. If you’re a fan , you don’t want to miss this tour.
I've never been to a venue where they gave out free water in-line while waiting outside, what a treat for the heat outside. Staff was friendly, show was superb, welcome back Manson!
It was mind-blowing. Much better than I expected. Manson is a true rockstar and he still got the stage presence and oh my that sick voice.
Marilyn Manson is BACK! I’ve seen every tour since Antichrist and he has never sounded or looked better! He’s wearing sobriety great! Can’t wait for more Manson!
Not only was Manson amazing and sounded phenomenal but the venue was absolutely awesome. Small and intimate. Definitely will be going there again!!!
Marilyn Manson put on a fantastic performance! He looked the best I’ve seen him in years and sounded amazing. The staff at the Sylvee were beyond friendly and accommodating to guests. The meet and greet took the cake though! He was super friendly and personable.
We came from Minneapolis for the show. We are concert reviews and have gone to almost every venue in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The Sylvee is one of my favorite venues. Everywhere you stand you can see. There is VIP upstairs if you want to do that. Plus there is GA behind them so if you just want to see down on the stage it is a great viewing place. The sounds was amazing and the staff couldn't have been better. Will be back for sure.
