Marilyn Manson

Marilyn Manson will tour Australia and New Zealand this October.

Manson toured Australia in 2003 following the release of the concept album "The Golden Age of Grotesque".

Before that his group was a headline act for the 1999 Big Day Out.

Each time they were met with disdain by political and religious groups, and lauded by their often black-clad fanbase.

Marilyn Manson tour dates:

10/03 - Auckland, Town Hall

10/05 - Melbourne, Festival Hall

10/06 - Sydney, Hordern Pavilion

10/08 - Brisbane, Entertainment Centre

10/11 - Adelaide, Thebarton Theatre

10/13 - Perth, Challenge Stadium

Tickets go on sale Friday, July 13.
