Slayer and Marilyn Manson Tour Dates

Thursday January 22, 2009
Organizers of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival announced today that Marilyn Manson and Slayer will top the bill on this year's tour, which is set to kick off July 10 at the Sleep Train Amphitheatre in Sacramento, CA. The main stage will see Marilyn Manson and Slayer joined by Bullet For My Valentine and a special guest that will be announced in the coming weeks; the Jagermeister stage will feature Trivium, All That Remains, God Forbid and the Jagermeister Battle of the Bands winner; the Hot Topic stage will feature Cannibal Corpse, Job For A Cowboy, Behemoth, Black Dahlia Murder and Whitechapel.

"We co-headlined with Manson once before, a couple of years ago," said Slayer's Kerry King, "so we all know what we're getting into. Manson and I probably drank a little too much absinthe on that tour, but we had a really good time hanging out and playing good music - we're looking forward to doing the same this summer on Mayhem."

I think I read somewhere that the tickets go on sale on April 24th. But I don’t want to see all these other bands… I just want to see Manson. I think I’ll be the weirdest person in the audience; a 41 year old grandma!! When will he be touring for his new album, and when is it going to be released?

(34) Phillyguy says:

I saw this concert last year when Slayer opened up and Manson headlined. Slayer was outta control but manson was a disappointment and the place started to clear out by the 2nd song. I am glad Slayer is headlining this year.

(37) Lini says:

People… WHY are you taking your children to Slayer and Manson? Come on!! Those are ADULT bands with ADULT content! Not for children or even teenagers… Plus the actual ADULTS that go there are crazy and having adult fun – and they don’t want kids around! Do not take kids to adult themed things… come on already!

July 14, 2009 at 10:30 pm
(38) greg says:

I think its sad that bullet for my valentine is on this tour. Slayer and Manson?? with Bullet for my frickin valentine??? Jeeze…I just saw this show on sunday. Slayer was amazing. Manson, I kinda expected more, but he is always great. Enjoy for those of you have not yet been!

(40) Mike says:

Went to Denver show, was AMAZING!!!

(41) Patient Zero says:

Lini – What in the world are you talking about? BFMV, All That Remains, Killswitch Engage and the such are TEEENAGER bands!!!!

Who over the age of 21 listen to them? My 14 year old son is coming with me and it will be a blast. Of course he is 6′ 185LBS so he will be as big or bigger than most of the 30 somethings like me that will be there.

Thanks for the insightful comments but think before you speak.

SLAYER!!!!!!
