The shock rock icons will join forces once again this summer with new albums to push

Of course, this isn’t the first time that these titans have canvased the country on tour together. Zombie and Manson have packed sold-out amphitheaters and arenas coast-to-coast with co-headlining runs in the past. Now, they’re hitting the road together once again this summer — and it’s not one to miss.
Rob Zombie recently revealed a brand new single “Heathen Days.“ The song is the second helping of his upcoming eighth studio album, following the previously released “Punks and Demons.“ Zombie’s forthcoming LP The Great Satan is slated to arrive on February 27, 2026 through Nuclear Blast.Stream the official music video for the all-new “Heathen Days” below now.
Back in January of 2024, Rob Zombie had himself a very eventful 48 hours. On January 29, Zombie announced a summer tour with Alice Cooper. Subsequently, longtime bassist Piggy D (a.k.a. Matt Montgomery) confirmed that he is leaving the band after nearly two decades.
“Dear friends, my time with [Rob] Zombie has come to an end,” Piggy D wrote on Instagram. “It was an honor to entertain you for the last 18 years. I look forward to the future and wish everyone the beast. Peace and love.”
Montgomery left the Rob Zombie’s band just over a year after guitarist John 5, who departed in October of 2022. John 5 joined rock icons Mötley Crüe on tour in place of founding guitarist Mick Mars. John 5 left Marilyn Manson’s band and linked up with Zombie in 2005, until his previously noted departure in 2022.
Just hours after Piggy D’s exit, Rob Zombie took to Instagram to confirm what fans had been speculating.
“After 18 years I am thrilled to announce that Blasko has returned! The original 4-string Zombie monster is back. Get ready for a crazy summer of mayhem.”
Rob “Blasko” Nicholson, now successfully managing the likes of Black Veil Brides, Zakk Wylde, Black Label Society, High On Fire, and Clutch, is also Ozzy Osbourne’s bassist. He appeared on Zombie’s first three solo albums before his departure in 2006. At Aftershock 2022 in Sacramento, California, Rob Zombie performed with original guitarist Mike Riggs. Riggs was with Zombie from 1997 until 2003. Now, both are back in the band in plenty of time for a new tour.
That summer, Rob Zombie and fellow shock rock icon Alice Cooper are mounted another Freaks on Parade Tour with special guests Ministry and Filter. The trek started on August 20 at the Isleta Amphitheater in Albuquerque, New Mexico and wrapped up on September 18 at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.
Back in May, Rob Zombie replaced Alice In Chains as a headliner at the inaugural Boardwalk Rock festival in Ocean City, Maryland.
Rob Zombie’s last album was The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy, which arrived in 2021 through Nuclear Blast. It performed well commercially, peaking at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 and topping Billboard’s Top Rock and Top Hard Rock albums charts.
Ahead of the Freaks on Parade Tour with Zombie, Marilyn Manson is returning to the road this spring. The singer has mapped out a string of U.S. headlining shows with very special guests VOWWS. The shows surround Manson’s upcoming festival appearances at Sick New World (Las Vegas, Nevada) and Sonic Temple (Columbus, OH).
Last summer, Manson embarked on his first round of headlining shows in five years. The performances surrounded his special guest slots with Five Finger Death Punch. That tour kicked off on August 2 at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania and wrapped up on September 19 at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Houston, Texas.
Marilyn Manson returned last year with a new album, One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1. The album performed fairly well commercially, hitting No. 2 on both the UK’s Rock & Metal Albums chart and Billboard’s Top Hard Rock Albums chart. It also peaked at No. 32 on the Billboard 200. It follows 2020’s We Are Chaos, which topped the UK’s Rock & Metal Albums chart and hit at No. 8 on the Billboard 200. We Are Chaos also gave Manson his first No. 1 album in Australia since 1998’s Mechanical Animals. Drummer Gil Sharone, who performed on Manson’s previous two albums – The Pale Emperor (2015) and Heaven Upside Down (2017), left the group in 2019. He was replaced by Black Flag drummer Brandon Pertzborn.
As a rock icon and filmmaker with a unique vision, Rob Zombie has continuously challenged audiences as he stretches the boundaries of both music and film. He has sold over 15 million albums worldwide, and is the only artist to experience unprecedented success in both music and film as the writer/director of eight feature films with a worldwide gross totaling more than $150 million. Pushing forward at full speed once again, he ignites another era with his anxiously awaited eighth solo album, The Great Satan, on February 27, 2026. He channels the down-and-dirty grime and grit of old school CBGB punk coupled with hard-charging high-octane metal and the hyper-charged stadium-size hooks he’s known for. It’s unrestrained, unfiltered, and undeniably Rob Zombie. Each of Rob Zombie’s 7 solo studio albums have debuted in the top 10 on Billboard’s 200 chart. Zombie is an 8-time Grammy nominee, with his most recent nomination for Best Metal Performance at the 2022 awards. Rob Zombie has proved an undeniable box office success throughout his career, writing and directing horror favorites such as House of 1,000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects, The Lords of Salem and Three From Hell.
Marilyn Manson is an iconoclast as a recording artist, songwriter, producer, actor, and author. To date, he has delivered nine Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200—including two #1 debuts. His paintings have adorned the walls of galleries worldwide. He has appeared on screen in numerous movies and TV shows and notably partnered with fashion houses such as Saint Laurent and Balenciaga. In 2024, Manson presented his thirteenth full-length LP, One Assassination Under God — Chapter 1 [Nuclear Blast], co-produced by guitarist and composer Tyler Bates [Guardians of the Galaxy, John Wick]. It’s as heavy and hypnotic as his most celebrated material, yet the songcraft proves to be his sharpest and leanest, cutting deep enough to draw blood. With more to come, his influence continues to grow stronger from one generation to the next, seeping into the fabric of culture.
