The End Times Tour was a double bill North American concert tour, co-headlined by American rock bands Marilyn Manson and The Smashing Pumpkins, with Cage opening. It was launched as a supporting 'tour within a tour' for Marilyn Manson's The Hell Not Hallelujah Tour. The End Times Tour supported both Manson's ninth studio album The Pale Emperor (2015) and the Smashing Pumpkins' tenth studio release, Monuments to an Elegy (2014).[1]

The tour began on July 7 in Concord, California and concluded in Cincinnati on August 8. It spanned 23 dates and visited arenas in the United States and Canada.[2][3] American hip hop recording artist Cage served as the opening act for the entirety of the tour.[4] The tour's name was conceived as an amalgamation of the title of a song by each artist, the Pumpkins' "The End Is the Beginning Is the End" and Manson's "Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes".

Following its conclusion, Marilyn Manson resumed their The Hell Not Hallelujah Tour, with three dates scheduled in Japan from August 14 onwards, and a European tour in November.
