Multi-platinum shock rocker Marilyn Manson performed his first full live show since December of 2019 tonight, August 02nd. Manson‘s career was shelved amid a string of sexual assault allegations made against him, followed by subsequent lawsuit. Some of which have been resolved, while others await their time in court.
Over a dozen women came forward with allegations against him in early 2021, resulting in a long and winding road in and outside of court which you can catch up on here. Manson has publicly denied the allegations made against him.
Today, August 02nd, saw the 55-year-old musician look to officially attempt to relaunch his career, debuting his new single “As Sick As The Secrets Within“, while also playing his first show back, opening for Five Finger Death Punch at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, PA.
Manson‘s backing band has some new faces involved. Judging by the below footage from the show, it would appear that Reba Meyers of Code Orange, etc. is serving as one his touring guitarists, while Piggy D. (ex-Rob Zombie, etc.) appears to be on bass. Gil Sharone (ex-The Dillinger Escape Plan) remains on drums, with Tyler Bates seemingly back on guitar.
The setlist for this comeback show ran as follows:
“We Know Where You Fucking Live”
“Disposable Teens”
“Angel With The Scabbed Wings”
“This Is The New Shit”
“Say10”
“Deep Six”
“Tourniquet”
