CONTROVERSIAL artist Marilyn Manson will be performing at Manchester Academy on December 14 to a sell-out crowd.

The American industrial rockers are in the middle of their first UK tour since the release of The High End of Low earlier this year.

Despite his absence from the music scene in recent years, his popularity has not faded with demand leading to a second London show being annouced as part of the tour.

Polarising opinions and driving moral watchdogs crazy, whatever people may think of MANSON, it’s hard to argue against the power of on his concerts. Alternative anthems such as “Disposable Teens”, “The Dope Show” and “The Beautiful People” set against a vivid stage show coupled with impressive costumes, promises the shows will be a highly entertaining, audio-visual experience.
