Marilyn Manson concert chronology

The Heaven Upside Down Tour is the fifteenth concert tour by American rock band Marilyn Manson. It was launched in support of their tenth studio album, Heaven Upside Down, which was released on October 6, 2017. Beginning on July 20, 2017, the tour currently includes seven legs spanning Europe and North America, for a total of 124 shows.

The live band for the tour initially included Marilyn Manson on vocals, Twiggy on bass guitar, Tyler Bates on lead guitar, Paul Wiley on rhythm guitar, Gil Sharone on drums, and Daniel Fox on percussion and keyboards. Several of these musicians have left the band throughout the tour, however. Fox played his final show with the band on the July 31 date in Moscow, although he remains a member of the crew as Sharone's drum technician. Twiggy was dismissed from the band on October 25.[1]

Bates also indicated he would not be performing on the second European leg, saying: "I want to play as many shows as I can, but I've got some pretty intense commitments with film coming up and that takes precedence. The great thing about my working relationship with Manson and how the band is set up is that they can accommodate me when I'm there, or reconfigure things when I'm not."[2]

Their second co-headlining tour with Rob Zombie, the "Twins of Evil: The Second Coming Tour" (following the 2012 "Twins of Evil Tour"), began on July 11 in Detroit and consisted of nearly 30 dates spanning North America.[3]
