Rock and metal icon Rob Zombie has announced a summer tour across North America, featuring a headlining performance with Marilyn Manson. The "Freaks On Parade" tour begins on August 20 in West Palm Beach at the iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre and includes stops in Charlotte, Toronto, Kansas City, Auburn, and Ridgefield. Key venues along the route include the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, the Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in West Valley City, and Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston. The tour concludes on September 20 at the Toyota Pavilion in Concord, California.

The announcement follows the release of Rob Zombie's eighth solo studio album, "The Great Satan," available now via Nuclear Blast Records. The album, released earlier this year, marks Zombie's first new record in five years and features tracks such as "Punks And Demons," "Heathen Days," "(I'm A) Rock 'N' Roller," "F.T.W. 84," "The Black Scorpion," and "Tarantula." The release further solidifies Zombie's position as one of heavy music's most distinctive voices.

This tour marks a significant lineup change for Zombie's band. Guitarist John 5 departed in 2022 to join MÖTLEY CRÜE, and has since been replaced by Mike Riggs. Riggs, who previously played with Zombie from the '90s through the early 2000s, rejoined the band in 2024. Bassist Matt "Piggy D." Montgomery exited in January 2024 after 18 years, and was replaced by returning bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson. Blasko previously played on Zombie's first three albums and left in 2006 to join Ozzy Osbourne's band.
