Marilyn Manson in Green Bay: the dark energy of industrial rock in a club format
Marilyn Manson arrives at the EPIC Event Center in Green Bay on Sunday, May 10, 2026, with a concert as part of the "One Assassination Under God Tour". According to the venue announcement, doors open at 6:30 PM, and the start of the program is listed for 7:30 PM. This is an evening for an audience that wants to hear the meeting point of old and new Manson: industrial rock, alternative metal, glam-rock darkness, a theatrical performance, and choruses that marked the nineties and the two-thousands. Tickets for this event are in demand.
Manson’s recognizability does not rest only on shock, but on a sound that combines cold electronics, heavy guitars, cabaret grotesque, and a pop chorus that cuts in after the very first listen. Songs such as "The Beautiful People", "The Dope Show", "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)", "Disposable Teens" and "mOBSCENE" have for years been the core of his concert identity. In Green Bay, therefore, one should not expect a nostalgic museum of hits, but a performance that leans on the current phase of his career and new material.
A tour with the new album in the foreground
The context of this concert is the album "One Assassination Under God - Chapter 1", Marilyn Manson’s twelfth studio album, released on November 22, 2024, on Nuclear Blast Records. In its announcement, the venue especially emphasizes that the album includes the singles "As Sick As The Secrets Within", "Raise The Red Flag" and "Sacrilegious". These are important songs for understanding the current tour: the sound is once again heavy, dark, and focused on an industrial charge, but with melodic lines that recall why Manson has always been more than a genre provocation.
When announcing the album, Nuclear Blast also released the tracklist, including "One Assassination Under God", "No Funeral Without Applause", "Nod If You Understand", "As Sick As The Secrets Within", "Sacrilegious", "Death Is Not A Costume", "Meet Me In Purgatory", "Raise The Red Flag" and "Sacrifice Of The Mass". For visitors, this means that the concert in Green Bay comes at a moment when the new cycle is already sufficiently settled in: the audience knows the older hits, and the tour has a clear new theme and a visual-musical framework.
Britannica describes Manson through a combination of glam rock, industrial rock, and alternative metal, with an emphasis on provocative imagery in lyrics and music videos. That description explains well why his concerts attract different groups of audiences: from metal fans seeking the sharpness of guitars, through lovers of industrial and goth aesthetics, to listeners who know only the biggest radio and MTV hits.
What can be expected from the repertoire
The exact setlist for Green Bay has not been announced and should not be assumed. Still, previous performances on the same tour provide a framework for expectations. At the concert in Düsseldorf on November 14, 2025, setlist.fm records a combination of songs from the album "One Assassination Under God - Chapter 1" and older titles from the periods of "Antichrist Superstar", "Mechanical Animals", "Holy Wood" and "The Golden Age of Grotesque". Among the recorded songs were "Sacrifice of the Mass", "Nod If You Understand", "One Assassination Under God", "Sacrilegious", "The Dope Show", "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)", "mOBSCENE", "The Beautiful People", "Tourniquet" and "Coma White".
This does not mean that Green Bay will get the same order or the same choice of songs. It is more useful to say that the current tour, at least according to available concert records, is built as a cross-section of his career: the new album gives the evening its title and tone, while older material ensures recognizable high points. For longtime fans, this is an opportunity to hear how the newer songs behave alongside the classics, and for a broader audience, an entry into Manson’s catalog through the best-known choruses and stage tension.
Three layers of the concert experience
- New material: songs from the "One Assassination Under God - Chapter 1" cycle bring the current sound of the tour and a darker, harder framework for the evening.
- Recognizable hits: classics such as "The Beautiful People", "The Dope Show" and "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" are often the songs that make the audience react the loudest.
- Theatrical performance: Manson’s concert identity is based on pronounced gesture, contrast between light and shadow, and tension between a rock concert and a dark cabaret.
VOWWS as a confirmed part of the evening
For this evening, VOWWS is also listed alongside Marilyn Manson. Songkick announces the concert as a performance by Marilyn Manson and VOWWS at the EPIC Event Center, while VOWWS has the date May 10, 2026, in Green Bay on its own tour page as part of the "One Assassination Under God Tour 2026". Their sound, often placed between post-punk, darkwave, and electronic rock, fits well into Manson’s darker concert aesthetic.
It is important not to overstate announcements that have not been confirmed. There is no need to invent guests, performance duration, or special effects. What is clear enough is that the program has a logical genre arc: VOWWS can open the space with a more atmospheric, colder tone, and Manson then takes over the evening with heavier industrial rock and a familiar catalog.
EPIC Event Center: proximity to the stage instead of arena distance
EPIC Event Center is a concert venue in Green Bay, at 2351 Holmgren Way, Suite 101. The venue presents itself as a live entertainment and music space with a capacity of 2,100 visitors. Discover Green Bay additionally states that the venue is located next to the well-known stadium district and covers more than 25,000 square feet. For a concert like this, that is an important detail: it is a space large enough for a national name, but compact enough that the performance does not lose the feeling of proximity to the artist.
For Manson’s music, such a format can be especially effective. Large arenas emphasize production breadth, but smaller concert venues often carry details better: industrial rhythm, deep bass, dynamic shifts, and vocal theatricality. At the EPIC Event Center, the audience is not kilometers from the stage; the impression is more direct, and the concert can feel more like pressure from the front rows than a distant spectacle.
- Address: 2351 Holmgren Way, Suite 101, Green Bay, WI 54304.
- Capacity: 2,100 visitors, according to information from the EPIC Event Center.
- Location: an area of Green Bay connected with the stadium district, which is practical for visitors arriving by car or planning an evening with nearby restaurants and bars.
- Venue format: a mid-sized concert hall, suitable for intense rock and metal performances in which contact between the audience and the stage plays an important role.
Arriving in Green Bay and moving around the venue
Green Bay is a city many travelers first associate with Lambeau Field and sports culture, but precisely for that reason the area around Holmgren Way is accustomed to visitors, traffic, and evening events. The EPIC Event Center is located in a part of the city that is not isolated from the rest of the offering: hotels, hospitality venues, and stadium-related facilities are nearby, so the concert can be fit into a short weekend stay.
For visitors coming from out of town, it is most practical to check accommodation near the stadium district or along the main roads toward Green Bay in advance. For those arriving by car, the advantage is that the venue is not located in a narrow old downtown, but that does not mean one should arrive at the last moment. At concerts with a strong fan base, crowds usually form before entry, especially when the audience wants to secure a good position in a space without much distance from the stage.
It is worth securing tickets on time and planning to arrive before doors open. If doors open at 6:30 PM, arriving earlier makes parking, security screening, and entry without rushing easier. This is especially useful for visitors who want to hear the entire program, including the VOWWS performance, and not only the main part of the evening.
Who will find this concert most appealing
This concert will most attract three groups of audiences. The first are longtime fans who have followed Manson since the albums "Antichrist Superstar", "Mechanical Animals" and "Holy Wood" and want to hear how those classics blend with the new songs. The second are lovers of industrial rock, alternative metal, gothic aesthetics, and darker electronics, for whom it is important that the concert has sound, attitude, and stage tension. The third are curious visitors who may know a few hits, but want to see why Manson has remained one of the most recognizable names in dark rock spectacle.
For the broader audience, the strongest anchor will be the recognizable singles. "The Beautiful People" and "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" carry an almost stadium-like reaction, even in a smaller space. For fans of the newer period, the more interesting part will be the way songs from "One Assassination Under God - Chapter 1" fit into the older catalog. The best part of such an evening is often precisely the contrast: a song the audience knows word for word follows new, colder, and less predictable material.
Atmosphere without embellishment
A Manson concert is not conceived as a pleasant pop evening. Its strength is in discomfort, rhythm, irony, dark imagery, and the feeling that a rock concert can turn into theater under pressure. The warmth of the audience does not come from easy choruses, but from the shared recognition of music that has for decades spoken the language of rebellion, alienation, and theatrical exaggeration.
At the EPIC Event Center, that energy will probably be condensed. A capacity of 2,100 people means that reactions travel quickly through the space: chanting from the front rows, the strike of a drum, a chorus taken over by the entire hall. Places disappear quickly when an artist like this appears in a space that is not a huge arena, because part of the appeal lies precisely in the fact that the audience can experience the performance from a more immediate perspective.
One should not expect an easy evening for passive listening. This is a concert for standing, observing details, and entering a sound that moves between industrial coldness and rock grime. If the audience comes because of one hit, it may leave with a clearer picture of Manson’s entire body of work. If it comes because of the album "One Assassination Under God - Chapter 1", it will get the chance to hear it in the context of the songs that built Manson’s career.
Practical notes for visitors
According to the EPIC Event Center page, doors open at 6:30 PM, and the start of the program is listed for 7:30 PM. On its page for the same date, VOWWS states that the music starts at 8:00 PM, so for visitors the smartest approach is to follow the earlier time and arrive on time. Such a difference in announcements is not unusual with concert listings, but for the audience it is always safer to be in front of the venue before the program begins.
The venue lists its address on its page as 2351 Holmgren Way, Suite 101, Green Bay, WI 54304. For travelers coming for the first time, it is good to check the route to the stadium district in advance and allow extra time for parking. Since the concert takes place on a Sunday evening, it is useful to check the opening hours of restaurants or bars earlier if planning to arrive before the concert or leave later after the performance.

Green Bay as a tour stop
Green Bay is not merely a passing point between larger markets. In the tour schedule, that date comes between performances in Minneapolis on May 8 and Louisville on May 12, according to available tour announcements. That places Green Bay in a dense part of the American May run, and gives the audience in Wisconsin a chance to see Manson without going to a larger metropolis.
Such concerts often have special value for a regional audience. When an artist who can easily fill larger venues comes to a 2,100-person space, the emphasis changes: there is less distance, less anonymity, and more of a sense that the entire evening is concentrated in one room. For fans from Green Bay, the surrounding area, and the wider Wisconsin region, this is a practical and musically interesting opportunity.
Why this date is worth noting
Marilyn Manson’s concert at the EPIC Event Center combines several important elements: a new discographic phase, a tour with a clear title, a catalog full of recognizable songs, and a venue that is not too large for this kind of stage tension. Instead of relying on empty announcements, it is enough to look at the facts: the twelfth album has been released, the singles are part of the current cycle, VOWWS is listed alongside the date, and the EPIC Event Center offers a space that can amplify the directness of the performance.
For visitors who like music on the edge of industrial rock, alternative metal, and dark theatricality, this is one of the concerts that makes sense to plan in advance. It is worth securing tickets on time, checking the route to the venue, and leaving enough room for the entire evening, from entry to the final chorus.
