Controversial rocker Marilyn Manson is hitting the road again, and this time he's teaming up with heavy metal band Five Finger Death Punch for a North American tour. This comeback marks Manson's first slate of live dates in nearly five years. The Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, will host the performance on August 14, as noted by Maury County Source.

According to Billboard, Manson, born Brian Warner, faced severe allegations of sexual and emotional abuse by over a dozen women, including actress Evan Rachel Wood. Upon coming out with such serious accusations, Marilyn has been keeping his public appearances scarce since 2020. Manson’s return to the stage despite the allegations will indeed turn heads and raise eyebrows for both fans and critics alike.

Tickets for the much-anticipated event will be available starting March 13 for those having the presale code KEY, moving to public sales on March 15, as reported by the Williamson Source. As Manson prepares to share the spotlight with Five Finger Death Punch, this will be another episode in his long career marked by equal amounts of fame and infamy.

Manson, who has been out of the public eye since the troubling accusations came to light, had his last public performance in November 2019. The embattled musician's decision to return to touring, as claimed by joining the lineup with Five Finger Death Punch signals that despite the gravity of the allegations, the show will go on and music, as always, finds a way to stir the pot.
