Shock rock icons Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson have revealed plans for a co-headlining summer tour in 2026. Dubbed the “Freaks on Parade” tour, this powerhouse lineup will also feature special guests The Hu, the gold-certified Mongolian metal collective known for their unique blend of traditional throat singing and heavy riffs, and Orgy, the multiplatinum-selling Los Angeles industrial rock veterans famous for their ’90s hits like “Blue Monday.”
This isn’t the first time Zombie and Manson have joined forces on the road. The duo previously toured together under the “Twins of Evil” banner multiple times, with their last joint outing occurring in 2019. That tour was a spectacle of theatrical performances, pyrotechnics, and high-energy sets that left audiences craving more. Now, after a hiatus marked by individual projects and personal challenges—Manson faced assault allegations in 2021, while Zombie continued his dual career in music and filmmaking—the pair are reuniting to deliver what promises to be an unforgettable experience for fans of industrial, metal, and alternative rock.
The addition of The Hu brings a global flavor to the bill. Hailing from Mongolia, the band gained international acclaim with their 2019 debut album The Gereg, which fused heavy metal with traditional instruments like the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle). Their viral hits, such as “Wolf Totem” and “Yuve Yuve Yu,” have amassed millions of views, introducing a fresh cultural dimension to the tour. Meanwhile, Orgy, led by vocalist Jay Gordon, will evoke nostalgia with their synth-heavy industrial sound, reminiscent of the late ’90s nu-metal era. This diverse supporting cast ensures the shows will appeal to a broad spectrum of rock enthusiasts, from longtime fans to newer generations discovering these acts.
The tour kicks off on August 20 in West Palm Beach, Florida, and will traverse major cities across the United States and one stop in Canada, wrapping up on September 20 in Concord, California. Expect elaborate stage productions, including Zombie’s signature horror-themed visuals inspired by his films like House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects, paired with Manson’s provocative, gothic performances that have defined his career since the ’90s.
Tickets for the general public go on sale Friday, January 23, at 10 a.m. local time, available through the official websites of Rob Zombie or Marilyn Manson. Presales, including Citi cardmember options, begin earlier in the week—check the artists’ sites for details. VIP meet-and-greet packages are also available, offering fans a chance to get up close with these rock legends.
For Missouri residents, mark your calendars for September 9, when the tour hits Maryland Heights at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre, bringing the freak show right to your backyard.
