Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson concert chronology

Twins of Evil: The Second Coming Tour was the second double bill concert tour co-headlined by American rock bands Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson with special guest Deadly Apples, launched in support of Manson's tenth studio album Heaven Upside Down (2017) and Zombie's sixth solo album The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser (2016), [1] as well as a vinyl box set released by Zombie on March 30, 2018. [2] [3] The tour was a sequel to the 2012 "Twins of Evil Tour", [4] and visited arena-sized venues from July 11 to August 29 and December 29. [5]

Contents

In 2019, the tour was succeeded by the Twins of Evil: Hell Never Dies Tour in the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Twins of Evil franchise. [6]

Background

Following the altercation between the bands' respective lead vocalists during the "Twins of Evil Tour" in 2012 that "almost came to blows," Zombie appeared on Howard Stern's show in 2014 and suggested he was "probably" willing to co-headline a tour with him again; finding the conflict petty. In the six years since the tour ended, the two frontmen privately made amends and decided to embark on another joint tour. Titled Twins of Evil: The Second Coming Tour, ticket presale began on March 19, 2018, followed by general sales on the 24th of the same month. [7] Canadian band Deadly Apples was announced as the opening act in May. [8]

Initially, only 27 dates were announced. However, this eventually grew to 35. The tour's maiden show was on July 11, 2018, at the DTE Energy Music Center in Detroit. Zombie took a week-long break in early August to complete production on 3 From Hell while Manson headlined clubs with support from Deadly Apples. [9]

"Helter Skelter"

In advance of the tour, Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson met in Los Angeles and discussed the possibility of collaborating on a newly recorded song. [10] The pair eventually decided to cover The Beatles' "Helter Skelter", which was released as a one-track digital single on the day the tour commenced—July 11. [11] The recording features instrumental contributions from two former members of Marilyn Manson: guitarist John 5 and drummer Ginger Fish, who both joined Zombie's band soon after departing Manson's. This is Manson's first collaboration with either of these former members since The Golden Age of Grotesque (2003) and The High End of Low (2009), respectively. [12] Zombie said of the cover: "I think it's cool because we dirtied it up, slowed it down and made it even heavier and groovier, but still true to the song". [10] The track peaked at number nine on Billboard 's Hard Rock Digital Songs, [13] and was performed by both artists together on the first night of the tour. [14]

Critical reception

Billboard praised the tour saying that it made "a big rock show feel like not only the right place to be, but also the best." [15]

Set lists

These set lists are representative of the tour's opening performance on July 11 at the DTE Energy Music Center in Detroit. [16] [14] They are not representative of the set list of all concerts throughout the tour.
