Marilyn Manson
Mon 8 June, 20:00; Store Vega; 370kr
Barely a day passes without Manson showing off another of his talents. As plain old Brian Warner, he wanted to become a writer or journalist, and most recently he proved he can act as well, and even without his famous scary stage make-up, in Sons of Anarchy.

Now he is ready to put it back on and to rock and shock wherever he can on his ‘The Hell Not Hallelujah Tour 2015’.

The sound of his ninth studio album, The Pale Emperor, which Manson himself described as “very cinematic”, is more blues and hard-rock influenced than previous works, and it has generally received positive reviews from critics.
