Shock rocker Marilyn Manson launched the 30th anniversary tour for his platinum-certified sophomore album “Antichrist Superstar” yesterday, October 14th. Manson chose to launch that tour in the city in which the record was largely recorded in, New Orleans, LA. The majority of the songs from that effort were last played live in 1997, making the performance extra special for those in attendance.
However, Manson opted to mix up the setlist for the show. Rather partake in a traditional front to back album playthrough, last night’s performance is said to have run as follows:
“Angel With The Scabbed Wings“
“Dried Up, Tied And Dead To The World“
“Little Horn” (first time since 2014)
“Tourniquet“
“The Reflecting God“
“Kinderfeld” (first time since 1997)
“Deformography” (first time since 1997)
“Minute Of Decay” (first time since 1997)
“Mister Superstar” (first time since 2015)
“Antichrist Superstar” (first time since 2019)
“1996” (first time since 2012)
“The Beautiful People“
“Apple Of Sodom” (first time since 1997)
“Irresponsible Hate Anthem” (first time since 2019)
“Man That You Fear” (first time since 2015)
Notably absent were “Cryptorchid” and “Wormboy“. Outside of the songs, Manson indulged in some visual nostalgia for the set as well, revisiting some his past stage production elements, including the podium, stilts and more. Fan-filmed footage is available below.
Manson also unveiled a 30th anniversary edition of that album yesterday as well. Further dates for his 30th anniversary run include:
