Marilyn Manson

Fans attending MARILYN MANSON's concert in Auckland, New Zealand Wednesday night (October 3) were made to evacuate the venue just four songs into the shock rocker's set.

Manson, who was playing a sold-out show in Auckland Town Hall, left the stage and security came on to ask concert goers to leave.

No explanation was given for the evacuation, but excessive smoke from smoke machines on the stage was wafting around the venue.

Firefighters were seen entering the building, and fire engines and ambulances were parked outside.

After a 10-minute delay patrons were allowed back into the venue and Manson continued his set.
