Shock-rock icon Marilyn Manson has announced a special two-night residency in Los Angeles to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his landmark album Antichrist Superstar. The exclusive performances will take place during Halloween weekend 2026 and promise to revisit one of the most influential and controversial records of the 1990s.
Special Halloween Shows at The Wiltern
The anniversary residency will be held at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. Fans will have two chances to witness the event:
Concert Dates
- October 31, 2026 (Halloween Night)
- November 1, 2026
Both performances are being staged as a celebration of three decades since the release of Antichrist Superstar, the album that propelled Manson into global notoriety and helped define the darker side of 1990s alternative and industrial metal.
Celebrating a Landmark Album
Released on October 8, 1996, Antichrist Superstar became one of Manson’s most important records. The album achieved platinum status and is widely considered a defining work in the industrial metal movement.
The record’s dark themes, theatrical imagery, and aggressive sound helped shape the identity of Manson’s stage persona and cemented his reputation as one of rock’s most controversial performers of the era.
Songs from the album such as The Beautiful People and Tourniquet became staples of his live shows and helped bring the record massive commercial and cultural impact.
A Special “Evening With” Style Performance
For the Los Angeles residency, Manson plans a two-act performance that will explore the narrative and themes of Antichrist Superstar while also featuring fan favorites from across his career.
According to Manson, the shows will revisit the record that defined a major chapter of his life and career.
“I’m celebrating 30 years of Antichrist Superstar at The Wiltern with a set that dives deep into this defining record and spans the milestones that followed.”
The concerts will explore both the album’s story arc and the evolution of Manson’s music in the decades since its release.
A Rare Return to the Los Angeles Stage
The two-night residency is particularly notable because it marks Marilyn Manson’s first Los Angeles performances in several years, making the shows a significant event for longtime fans.
The Halloween timing also aligns perfectly with Manson’s theatrical reputation and dark aesthetic, making the residency one of the most anticipated rock events of the 2026 fall season.
Manson’s Ongoing Era
The announcement comes during a new phase in Manson’s career following the release of his 2024 studio album One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1, which launched a global tour spanning multiple continents.
With the Antichrist Superstar anniversary shows, Manson is revisiting the album that originally propelled him to mainstream fame while continuing to expand his catalog and stage legacy.
A Defining Moment for Fans
For many fans, Antichrist Superstar remains one of the most influential rock albums of the 1990s. Its mix of industrial aggression, theatrical storytelling, and provocative imagery helped shape the era’s alternative metal scene.
The upcoming Los Angeles residency will offer a rare opportunity to see Manson revisit that defining record live—three decades after it first shook the music world.
