Resurrecting the Shock Rocker: Manson Joins Forces with Five Finger Death Punch for 2024 North American Tour
In a jaw-dropping turn of events, the controversial shock rocker Marilyn Manson is set to make a triumphant return to the stage as part of the 2024 North American tour, headlined by the formidable Five Finger Death Punch. This unexpected collaboration is sending shockwaves through the music industry, as Manson’s career was seemingly derailed by a cascade of sexual assault accusations. The 26-date tour, featuring the enigmatic Slaughter to Prevail, is scheduled to kick off on August 2nd in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and culminate in a spectacular show on September 19th in Houston, Texas.
Dates, Ticket Information, and Fan Anticipation
The announcement of this groundbreaking tour has left fans in eager anticipation, as Marilyn Manson, often dubbed the “God of F***,” prepares to share the stage with Five Finger Death Punch. The Live Nation pre-sale, unlocking exclusive early access, is slated to commence on Wednesday, March 13th, at 10 a.m. local time using the code KEY. Simultaneously, artist pre-sales kick off as early as Monday, March 11th, offering dedicated fans a chance to secure their tickets before the general sales, which open on Friday, March 15th, at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster.
The inclusion of Marilyn Manson in the tour lineup has taken many by surprise, given the controversies and accusations that led to his apparent cancellation.

Five Finger Death Punch’s Deluxe Edition and Tour Build-Up
As the anticipation for the tour builds, Five Finger Death Punch is not only preparing to share the stage with Manson but is also gearing up for the release of the deluxe edition of their 2022 album, “AfterLife.” Set to drop on April 5th, this deluxe edition features a new song titled “This Is the Way,” featuring vocals from the late rapper DMX. The band’s original 12 tracks, recorded with their longtime producer Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne), will be complemented by four bonus tracks, including acoustic versions of “The End,” “Judgement Day,” and “Thanks For Asking,” in addition to the collaboration with DMX.
The official music video for “This Is The Way (Featuring DMX),” directed by the highly influential filmmaker Hype Williams, will be unveiled alongside the deluxe edition. Hype Williams, known for his seminal work with iconic figures like Tupac, Wu-Tang Clan, and Jay-Z, adds a layer of intrigue to the release. As the band gears up for this tour, their diverse musical repertoire, combining hard-hitting metal with poignant lyrics, continues to resonate with a global audience.
Marilyn Manson’s Legal Battles: A Dark Cloud Over the Comeback
Marilyn Manson, born Brian Warner, has faced a series of legal battles in recent years, further complicating his path to redemption. Despite being dropped by his record label, Loma Vista Recordings, and talent agency CAA, Manson remains undeterred in his pursuit of a comeback. Last September, he was sentenced to 20 hours of community service and a fine after pleading no contest to charges related to a 2019 concert incident in New Hampshire, where he blew his nose on a videographer.
In November 2022, Manson filed legal documents outlining the detrimental impact of the accusations on his career. He cited exclusion from Hollywood social and business gatherings, devaluation of his paintings, indefinite postponement of art shows, and the inability to release his book and tour. Additionally, Manson claimed to have lost acting roles in the Starz series “American Gods” and Paramount+ series “The Stand” due to his “false portrayal as a rapist, abuser, and child pornographer.”
Five Finger Death Punch: Triumphs Amid Challenges
Five Finger Death Punch, a force to be reckoned with in the metal scene, has navigated its share of challenges. Originally slated to support Metallica on several European shows last spring, the band had to cancel due to lead singer Ivan Moody’s hernia surgery. However, they bounced back with resilience, embarking on a tour with Metallica on the “M72” tour in August 2023 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The band’s critically acclaimed ninth studio album, “AfterLife,” marked a significant milestone, as it was the first to feature renowned British virtuoso Andy James, who replaced Jason Hook in 2020. The addition of James brought a new dimension to the band’s sound, evident in tracks like “Broken World,” featured on “A Decade Of Destruction – Volume 2.”
The Unanswered Questions: Manson’s Future and the Tour’s Impact
As the curtain rises on this highly anticipated tour, many questions linger in the air. Who will join Marilyn Manson on stage? What does the future hold for Manson beyond this tour? Will the collaboration with Five Finger Death Punch mark a resurgence for the shock rocker, or will it be a fleeting chapter in his tumultuous career?
In the realm of rock and metal, where controversy often intertwines with creativity, the upcoming tour with Marilyn Manson and Five Finger Death Punch promises to be a riveting spectacle. Whether it’s Manson’s attempt at redemption or the sheer musical prowess of Five Finger Death Punch, this tour is poised to leave an indelible mark on the North American music scene. As fans eagerly await the opening chords, the stage is set for a compelling chapter in the evolving narratives of these two iconic acts.
