SLAYER and MARILYN MANSON have announced that they will co-headline a North American major-market summer tour beginning on July 25 on the East Coast. Plans are for the tour to play some twenty-five cities and wrap up early September on the West Coast. So far the following dates have been leaked:

Aug. 05 - Holmdel, NJ @ PNC Bank Arts Center
Aug. 31 - Houston, TX @ Reliant Arena

Plans are for the tour to play some twenty-five cities and wrap up early September on the West Coast. A full, confirmed schedule will be announced shortly.

MANSON and SLAYER will each play full sets, and two support bands, yet to be determined, will open all shows.

Just prior to the American trek, both MANSON and SLAYER will be on tour throughout Europe, sharing the stage at three European festivals — the U.K.'s Download Festival at Donington (June 9), Greenfield Festival in Switzerland (June 15), and Sweden's Metaltown Festival (June 30).

MARILYN MANSON recently wrapped up work on his upcoming June 5 release to be titled, "Eat Me, Drink Me", which Rolling Stone magazine describes as "epic." Voted "Best Band in the World" by Kerrang! magazine, the army of noise behind Manson's bitterness is at once raw and massive when witnessing him live— "rousing the crowd with focuses ardor," states the New York Times.

Celebrating their 26th year together, the always-uncompromising SLAYER was named "Best Live Band" in SPIN's 2006 Readers Poll, and picked up their first Grammy Award in February for "Best Metal Performance." Their latest album, "Christ Illusion" — which debuted at #5 on Billboard's album chart — takes on the U.S. government about the war in Iraq, prompting one newspaper to speculate, "If Thomas Jefferson were alive today, he undoubtedly would be listening to SLAYER."

[Tiger Army]

Nice. I wish they'd come sooner, but I can wait.

I hope they come to STL. I'll die if I have to go out to Chicago to see them.

[Jensen]

I absolutely can not wait to hear the new songs live. And touring with Slayer? Count me in. They better come to Arizona, and fast.

[Annary]

Just prior to the American trek, both MANSON and SLAYER will be on tour throughout Europe, sharing the stage at three European festivals — the U.K.'s Download Festival at Donington (June 9), Greenfield Festival in Switzerland (June 15), and Sweden's Metaltown Festival (June 30).."

They are not coming to Sweden (Slayer is but not manson) :/ Metaltown has posted it on their site long ago, got my hopes up when i first saw that they would be in sweden but well some days after that they decided to put it up on their site saying manson will not come on june 30th since there was to many asking if he was or not.

[GROTESQUE]

Does anyone think they will come to VA? I mean there is significance here for Manson.. but thats besides the point..

[PresidentDead]

*waits for L.A. dates*

[GunsOfBrixton]

Manson better be playing last on that bill, like hell he should be fucking opening for Slayer.

[Perversion]

Thanks for the news. I'm hoping that when they visit Canada it will be in the Toronto or Ottawa area and not in Vancouver.

[spookykid520]

I HATE pnc center in NJ ='(.... its all fucking seats.......... grr


I hope they do a jones beach show atleast ( even though thats all seats too ) but closer to where I live.

[MikeSick]

there better be a toronto date.

[Pigist Christ]

I love the PNC Bank Center in NJ, awesome.

[jester]

Manson better be playing last on that bill, like hell he should be fucking opening for Slayer.

Nope, Manson will be before Slayer.

[Burn_The_Priest]

Nope, Manson will be before Slayer.

I hope not.

[Iphigora]

I hope not.
I hope so, then I can leave before I have to suffer through Slayer. Whose only good song was done better by a Miss Amos.

[Burn_The_Priest]

I hope so, then I can leave before I have to suffer through Slayer. Whose only good song was done better by a Miss Amos.

eh I'm not much of a Slayer fan so I wouldnt mind leaving after Mansons set if he went first...but manson disserves to headline over them...besides co-headlining usually means that they might rotate every night.

[PresidentDead]

I hope so, then I can leave before I have to suffer through Slayer. Whose only good song was done better by a Miss Amos.

'MANSON and SLAYER will each play full sets, and two support bands, yet to be determined, will open all shows'

we might have to sit through two shitty bands before we see either of them :/

[Iphigora]

I can deal with opening bands. But I will not be crushed through Slayer, I'm way too small, and people beat the shit out of me at concerts, I like to be in the front so I live with it. But I would rather not have to stand through a Slayer pit.

I'm small as well, but I love getting fucked up in pits. As a chick though sometimes they'll take it easy (gay) but since it's gonna be my first manson show I'll probably be up in the front.

[Iphigora]

I don't mind bruises. It's when assholes try to move me. I mean arms around the waist type of being moved.

[Nine]

an amphitheater for these bands seems wrong...but at least you won't get crushed in a pit.

it's impossible to get good seats for the pnc arts center, b/c they reserve them for season tix holders and every promo under the sun.
i used to work for ticketmaster and if i pulled one good pair of seats for that place it would be a miracle.

[lunchbox1113]

If King Diamond opened for manson and slayer, I'd die of happiness.

[Nil Three]

FUCK. 25 cities means probably no DC.

:(

[emilydarkside]

i highly doubt they'll come to omaha
but maybe kansas city, which means summer ROAD TRIP
and i'll probably stand outside of the arena 24 hours before the show...because i'm dedicated :p

but i'm not much of a slayer fan, i hope Manson plays before them, so i can get my skinny ass out of there!

[freeballoonday]

they better come to miami

[kill'ermommy]

25 cities.
Most likely NO NC or SC.
=(

Anyone know if after the Slayer dates, if he will do his own tour?

[pyrox02]

If they don't come to San Antonio, I'm kicking some ass.

EDIT: Why Houston? I fucking hate Houston.

[villain_rabbit]

If they don't come to San Antonio, I'm kicking some ass.

EDIT: Why Houston? I fucking hate Houston.

I wouldn't mind Houston but that smell.... o god.... I hope they come to Dallas.

[pyrox02]

I wouldn't mind Houston but that smell.... o god.... I hope they come to Dallas.

I'd prefer Dallas. Houston is a shithole.

I refuse to step foot in that town. I don't know if I'll make an exception for Manson.

Btw, my friend has been to a Slayer show (down here in Texas) and he says SKINHEADS everywhere. Is that just a southern Slayer fan thing?

I don't see this Manson/Slayer pairing working out.

[windowpane09]

Im usually the fellow in the back standing by the soundboard.

<-- mellow concert goer.

[windowpane09]

the cleveland slayer fans from what i can tell are almost like a family. They will mosh, but they will friendly mosh. For the lov of MeTEL or SATIn or something?

Im not sure how the slayer fans would react to Manson fans, or Manson in general. The fans were not reacting well at the latest ozzfest MM was at. And there was chairs to keep the deaths to a minimum.

[DecayingSinner]

I'm guessing that Camden, NJ will be just before or after that August date.

[Burn_The_Priest]

I'm starting to think that Manson might not make it to the west coast alive (not literally) I've heard that Slayers fans abuse the opening bands because they want Slayer...I was told that Slipknot, Mastodon, and Lamb of God were all abused at every show by Slayers fans....I mean when a band like Lamb of God gets abused that really says something...Lamb of Gods fans are for the most part huge empty headed retards that just want to mosh (ive been in that crowd before) and if Slayers fans are worst....I can only imagine what's going to happen to Manson primarily "mall goth" fan base...and not too mention what a bad time Manson might have....I hope he doesnt quit the tour...=[

That would be funny to hear him quit a tour. Especially after what happened with Hole in '99. If these bands are ridiculed by the audience, MM better be ready after releasing pop songs like heart shaped glasses.

[Sherry]

Nice. I wish they'd come sooner, but I can wait.

I hope they come to STL. I'll die if I have to go out to Chicago to see them.

They'll come to St. Louis. The problem is, I won't get to see them while we're still here. We're moving to Arizona in August.
I guess the good thing is, I can see them there and if I really want to get my fill, I can drive two hours to LA and see them there, too!

Moving to Phoenix ftw.

:D

[Tiger Army]

Awesome, awesome. Do they usually play at Pops or The Pageant in St. Louis?

I hope not Pops. It's way too small a venue for the stage show.

[Moonscythe]

If King Diamond opened for manson and slayer, I'd die of happiness.

That would be fucking great! But is he still playing, the last thing I heard about him was when he did backing vocals for COF on Midian, and that was a while back.

[Shangri-LIE]

Gee, I hope he comes to by golly west virginia

[lunchbox1113]

That would be fucking great! But is he still playing, the last thing I heard about him was when he did backing vocals for COF on Midian, and that was a while back.

King still does shows! He has a cd coming out in june/july.

[freeballoonday]

i'm starting to think seeing manson this tour might not be the safest idea considering i'm 5'4 and 90 pounds, don't mosh and just want to see marilyn manson play some songs. i will probably get killed by slayer fans because i refuse to sit at concerts.

I totally agee!

[DecayingSinner]

No... I really hope Hanzel und Gretyl are the openers.

I really hope you don't find the air conditioning in your new home to be defective.

:p

Nice to see Houston already on the list! Good for me, sucks for you. It may be a shit-hole, but I know where I'll be Aug 31st!

[PlatinumOrgy]

oh fuck yeah! i plan on hitting all the new england/mid atlantic shows....

ROAD TRIP!!!!!!

[Shangri-LIE]

My radio station here in W.V. just announced a MAJOR concert event in the summer. They gave a hint saying they came here about 6 years ago, and said they'd be back. Being no one hardly comes here. The only major show that was in town back in 2001 was "Reinventing the Steel" tour with Slayer and Pantera. So hopefully it is Slayer and Manson. I won't know who it is until Tommorow. I am fucking putting up all of my hopes on this one.

[BB3K]

Awesome, awesome. Do they usually play at Pops or The Pageant in St. Louis?

I hope not Pops. It's way too small a venue for the stage show.
They've played at both places. They played the Pageant for the Against All Gods tour I know.

[space boy]

I hope this tour comes to New Mexico.

[Hazekiah]

Awesome, awesome. Do they usually play at Pops or The Pageant in St. Louis?

I hope not Pops. It's way too small a venue for the stage show.
There's no "usually" to it. They've only played each of those two venues once, and they were both the first times he'd played either.

Also, just for the record, yes, Pop's is way too small for Manson these days. That's why they played in the gigantic fucking parking lot outside of Pop's, not Pop's itself.

It was actually really fucking cool. That parking lot is really just the common ground surrounded by several strip clubs. Seeing a Grotesk Burlesk show there was fucking perfect. Lost a bunch of singles at the "Heavy Petting Zoo," damnit.

:)

Manson's "St. Louis" venue history ('94 to Present):

The Fox Theater
Mississippi Nights
The American Theater
Mississippi Nights

The Fox Theater

UMB Bank Pavillion (Riverport)

Pop's
The Pageant

[Tiger Army]

Alright. I knew he played the Pavillion, since that was the first (and last) place I saw him at. I had no idea that he played in the parking lot at Pops. I'd have tried to sneak into the Crystal Palace or whatever strip join that is right next to it.

[Moonscythe]

King still does shows! He has a cd coming out in june/july.

Sweet, I'll keep my eyes open for it. The only King album I have is Abagail. But I got a really good deal on Mercyful Fate's Melissa, Don't Break the Oath, and Return of the Vampire. King rocks.

EDIT: Lunchbox, I just looked at the tracklisting for his new CD, "Give Me Your Soul...Please", and I swear that I heard that song when he was still with Fate, maybe just Give Me Your Soul, something like that.

*crosses fingers*

[pretyh8]

I'm hoping he'll come to Milwaukee around that time too... Here's the rest of the post I didn't put up:

Tour dates for this summer's match made in Heaven...or Hell...are announced today. MARILYN MANSON and SLAYER's 25-city co-headline North American tour will kick off on July 25 in West Palm Beach, FL, pillaging its way cross-country to wrap up in San Antonio, TX on September 1. Confirmed dates are below.

For this two-pronged-threat double bill, SLAYER and MANSON will each play full sets with BLEEDING THROUGH and one other support band, yet to be determined, opening all shows.

MARILYN MANSON just wrapped up work on his upcoming June release to be titled "Eat Me, Drink Me", which Rolling Stone magazine anticipates as "epic." Voted "Best Band in the World" by Kerrang! magazine, the army of noise behind MANSON's bitterness is at once raw and massive when witnessing him live — "rousing the crowd with focused ardor," states the New York Times.

Celebrating its 26th year together, the always-uncompromising SLAYER was recently named "Best Live Band" in SPIN's 2006 Readers' Poll, and picked up their first Grammy Award in February for "Best Metal Performance." Their latest album, "Christ Illusion" — which debuted at #5 on Billboard's albums chart — takes on the U.S. Government about the War in Iraq, prompting one newspaper to speculate, "If Thomas Jefferson were alive today, he undoubtedly would be listening to SLAYER."

[Gen Appithy]

Irivine? Concord?

what lame ass tour manager booked these dates? manson better fucking be doing his own solo tour afterwards where he plays at real venues.

[BB3K]

Hm. I'll probably make it to the Chicago show. And maybe the August 16th show depending on where it is.

[star69]

i thought manson only played riverport once on ozzfest/G.A.O.G tour..well im praying the TBA show is for st. louis!!!!!

[theforba]

Are the tickets going to cost more for these dates?
will these be the only north american tour he is doing for emdm?
or is it just an extra to promote and waste time?
