Holy hell, did Marilyn Manson just blow the roof off Hersheypark Stadium or what? Last night, the Antichrist Superstar himself made his long-awaited return to the stage, and it was nothing short of a sonic apocalypse. This wasn’t just a concert; it was a resurrection, a defiant middle finger to anyone who doubted his ability to come back stronger than ever.
The night kicked off with The Funeral Portrait and Slaughter to Prevail, who did a killer job of warming up the crowd. But let’s be real—Manson’s return was one of the night’s most highly anticipated moments. As the lights dimmed and the first chords of “We Know Where You Fucking Live” blasted through the speakers, the crowd erupted in a frenzy. This was Manson’s first full gig since 2019, and the anticipation was palpable.
Manson didn’t just dip his toes back into the live scene; he cannonballed in with a 12-song set that was a masterclass in shock rock. The setlist was a brutal reminder of why Manson is still the reigning dark lord of rock:
- We Know Where You Fucking Live
- Disposable Teens
- Angel With The Scabbed Wings
- This Is The New Shit
- Say10
- Deep Six
- Tourniquet
- mOBSCENE
- The Dope Show
- Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
- The Love Song
- The Beautiful People
The stage setup was pure Manson—dark, twisted, and theatrical. His band, featuring returning members Tyler Bates and Gil Sharone, along with new recruits Reba Meyers and Matt Montgomery, delivered a performance that was tight, aggressive, and dripping with raw energy. Manson himself was in top form, prowling the stage like a man possessed, his voice as menacing and powerful as ever.
This wasn’t just a comeback; it was a statement. Manson has been through the wringer over the past few years, facing legal battles and public scrutiny. But last night, he turned all that pain into performance art. He didn’t shy away from his past; he confronted it head-on, channeling his struggles into a show that was both cathartic and electrifying.
Marilyn Manson’s return to the stage at Hersheypark Stadium was nothing short of epic. It was a night of redemption, resilience, and raw, unfiltered rock ‘n’ roll. If anyone doubted Manson’s ability to come back swinging, last night’s performance silenced them all. Welcome back, Manson. The stage is yours, and it’s never looked darker or more glorious.
