After a prolonged absence from live performances, Manson returned to the stage on August 2 for the first time since the pandemic, reigniting his connection with fans. This tour marks his first run since 2019, and he’s proving that his ability to command the stage is as sharp as ever. In Durant, fans were treated to a setlist packed with crowd-pleasers such as "The Beautiful People," "The Dope Show," and "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," alongside his latest single, "As Sick As The Secrets Within."
Manson’s band, a combination of seasoned veterans and fresh talent, has reinvigorated his live sound. Guitarist Tyler Bates and drummer Gil Sharone (ex-THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN) have returned to the fold, joined by Reba Meyers from CODE ORANGE on guitar and Matt Montgomery (aka Piggy D.; ex-ROB ZOMBIE) on bass. This lineup blends the aggression and precision that define Manson’s signature style, enhancing the live experience for both die-hard fans and newcomers alike.
"As Sick As The Secrets Within," released last month via Manson’s new deal with Nuclear Blast Records, has already sparked excitement for more new material, especially with a second single, "Raise The Red Flag," dropping in August. Both tracks were co-produced by Tyler Bates, with whom Manson has a longstanding creative relationship. This new partnership with Nuclear Blast marks a fresh start for Manson, signaling a new era of music following his critically acclaimed 2020 album We Are Chaos.
The return to live performance and new music has been a long time coming for Manson, who has spent recent years off the road. While he faced personal and legal challenges during this time, the dismissal of several lawsuits has allowed him to refocus on his music career. His latest singles and performances suggest a renewed sense of purpose and artistic freedom.
Manson’s 30-date tour, supporting FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, has been packed with energy, and the crowd in Oklahoma was no exception. Fans at the Choctaw Grand Theater were treated to a performance that was both nostalgic and forward-looking, with Manson balancing his iconic persona with the anticipation of what comes next.
As the tour continues, Manson shows no signs of slowing down, with his final performance slated for September 19 in Houston, Texas. With new music on the horizon and a revitalized live presence, Marilyn Manson is poised to once again make waves in the rock and metal scene, reminding fans why he has remained a force in the industry for over three decades.
