Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson co-headline Darien Lake Amphitheater on Sunday, August 30, 2026 at 6:00 PM. Two of the most visually explosive, deliberately provocative acts in rock music are sharing one Western New York stage — and this is going to be a show you don’t forget.
About the Show
Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson together is a double bill that makes almost too much sense. Both built their careers on the intersection of heavy music and horror-film theatrics — massive stage productions, elaborate visuals, and a commitment to spectacle that sets them apart from nearly everyone else in rock. Zombie brings “Dragula,” “Living Dead Girl,” “Superbeast,” and the full carnival of his horror-rock universe. Manson counters with “The Beautiful People,” “The Dope Show,” “Sweet Dreams,” and the darkly charismatic stage presence that made him one of the most talked-about performers in music history.
Together with The Distillers rounding out the bill, this is an evening of rock music that leans hard into the theatrical, the heavy, and the unapologetically loud. The 6:00 PM start time gives the production crew time to deliver the full visual experience as darkness falls.
Get into it — Rob Zombie on Amazon and Marilyn Manson on Amazon will set the mood.
The Venue
Darien Lake Amphitheater is the right kind of venue for a production this big — the stage is massive, the sight lines are wide, and the amphitheater format lets the visuals and pyro hit the way they’re designed to. This is the kind of show where the pavilion seats give you the best view of the full stage production, but the lawn has its own chaotic energy. Either way, show up early — the 6:00 PM start means you want to be in your spot before the first note. Full Darien Lake venue guide here.
