The announcement of a joint tour featuring Slipknot, Nine Inch Nails, and Marilyn Manson has sent shockwaves through the rock and metal community, as fans prepare for one of the darkest and most electrifying live experiences of 2026. Dubbed “The Anti Christ Machine Tour,” this collaboration brings together three of the most controversial, theatrical, and influential acts in modern alternative and industrial music. Each artist carries a legacy of pushing boundaries, and together, they promise a tour that will be as visually intense as it is sonically explosive.
The tour is set to span major cities across North America and Europe, kicking off in Los Angeles before moving through Chicago, New York City, and Toronto. From there, the bands will head overseas, making stops in London, Berlin, Paris, and Amsterdam. Fans can expect massive arenas, elaborate stage designs, and a carefully curated setlist that blends classic hits with newer material, creating a full-spectrum experience of aggression, emotion, and spectacle.
What makes this tour particularly unique is the contrast and chemistry between the three acts. Slipknot’s chaotic, mask-driven performances will collide with Nine Inch Nails’ industrial precision and atmospheric depth, while Marilyn Manson’s dark, provocative stage presence adds an unsettling theatrical edge. The combination is expected to create a layered performance experience, where each set builds upon the last, culminating in unforgettable moments that blur the lines between music, performance art, and raw expression.
The tour officially begins on June 12, 2026, in Los Angeles, with subsequent dates including June 15 in Chicago, June 18 in New York City, June 22 in Toronto, July 1 in London, July 5 in Berlin, July 9 in Paris, and July 12 in Amsterdam, with more dates expected to be announced as demand continues to surge worldwide.
