The Twins of Evil Tour was the first double-bill concert tour co-headlined by American rock bands Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson. Launched in support of each band's respective full-length studio LPs, 2010's Hellbilly Deluxe 2 and 2012's Born Villain, the tour visited a mixture of amphitheaters, indoor arenas and outdoor stadiums from September 28, 2012, through December 12, 2012. There were also shows given at smaller, more intimate venues, such as New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom. It was conceived as a follow-up tour for Zombie's Hellbilly Deluxe 2 World Tour. At the time, Marilyn Manson was engaged in their worldwide Hey Cruel World... Tour, thus Twins of Evil became a 'tour within a tour' for the band. It consisted of two legs, with dates in the United States and Europe.

The tour made headlines within the rock community due to a highly-publicized altercation between the bands' respective lead vocalists. Despite this, both frontmen privately made amends, and Twins of Evil became a critically and commercially successful double bill touring franchise, spawning two sequel tours, 2018's "Twins of Evil: The Second Coming Tour" with special guest Deadly Apples and 2019's "Twins of Evil: Hell Never Dies Tour".^[1]
