Freaks on Parade Brings Rob Zombie & Marilyn Manson to Charlotte
Charlotte is about to witness a collision of shock rock titans. Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson are co-headlining the Freaks on Parade Tour, rolling into the newly renamed Truliant Amphitheater on Monday, August 24, 2026. This 20,000-capacity outdoor venue—formerly known as PNC Music Pavilion—will play host to one of the most anticipated heavy music events of the summer, with special guests The Hu and Orgy opening the night.
The Freaks on Parade marks the return of the legendary Zombie-Manson pairing that previously electrified audiences on multiple "Twins of Evil" tours. Both artists are at career peaks—Zombie armed with material from his February 2026 album "The Great Satan" and Manson riding momentum from his 2024 comeback "One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1." Together, they deliver a four-plus-hour spectacle of industrial metal, horror-themed visuals, and theatrical performances unlike anything else in rock music.
Two Icons, One Massive Stage
Rob Zombie has spent three decades redefining what a rock concert can be. His shows are legendary for their cinematic production—giant video screens, hydraulic platforms, pyrotechnics, and his wife Sheri Moon Zombie's choreographed performances transform every show into a living horror film. The Massachusetts native brings classics from his White Zombie days ("Thunder Kiss '65," "More Human Than Human," "Black Sunshine") alongside solo staples like "Dragula," "Living Dead Girl," and "Superbeast." Follow him on Instagram for tour updates.
Marilyn Manson remains rock's most provocative performer. His theatrical staging, elaborate costume changes, and powerful vocal delivery create an immersive experience that transcends typical concerts. Expect career-spanning hits including "The Beautiful People," "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," "The Dope Show," and newer material from his comeback album. Visit marilynmanson.com for official news.
Opening Acts: The Hu & Orgy
The Hu from Mongolia have revolutionized heavy metal with their unique "Hunnu Rock" sound—traditional throat singing and horsehead fiddles combined with crushing guitar riffs. Their viral hits "Wolf Totem" and "Yuve Yuve Yu" have amassed hundreds of millions of streams. Orgy, the Los Angeles industrial rock band behind platinum-certified "Blue Monday" and "Stitches," brings high-energy synth-rock to round out this stacked lineup.
