If you’ve ever wanted to see goth rock legend Marilyn Manson in an up-close-and-personal setting, now’s your chance. The man with the mismatched eyes and a reputation as one of rock’s most provocative figures is bringing his One Assassination Under God Tour to downtown Phoenix on September 28, 2025 , at the intimate Van Buren . Known for his visually arresting performances and boundary-pushing artistry, this show promises to be a night you won’t soon forget.
Why This Show Is a Big Deal
While Manson has visited the Valley multiple times over the past 15 years—including a performance last September at the sprawling Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre , which holds 20,000 fans—this time around, he’s swapping the big stage for something far more exclusive. With The Van Buren’s capacity of just 1,800 , fans will experience Manson’s dark, industrial sound in a much more personal environment.
This dramatic shift in venue size means two things:
- A Rare Intimate Experience: Seeing an artist of Manson’s stature in such a small space is a treat for die-hard fans who crave that front-row energy.
- Tickets Will Go Fast: Given the limited seating, don’t wait too long to secure your spot.
About Marilyn Manson
Love him or hate him, there’s no denying Marilyn Manson’s impact on music and culture. Formed in Florida in 1990 as Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids , the band quickly gained notoriety for its shocking aesthetics, controversial lyrics, and theatrical live shows. Early members adopted stage names combining the first name of a female sex symbol with the last name of a serial killer—a fittingly eerie touch for their macabre persona.
Over the decades, Manson has pushed boundaries both musically and visually. From his early days blending industrial rock with gothic undertones to his later experimentation with glam and alternative influences, his work continues to resonate with fans worldwide. And while his career has been marked by controversy, his ability to captivate audiences remains undeniable.
What to Expect at The Van Buren
Prepare for a sensory overload. Manson’s concerts are part concert, part performance art, often featuring elaborate costumes, haunting visuals, and plenty of surprises. Songs from across his catalog—from classics like “The Beautiful People” and “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” to newer material—are likely to make an appearance.
And let’s not forget the atmosphere. There’s something inherently electric about seeing Manson perform in a smaller venue like The Van Buren. You’ll feel every note, every lyric, and every moment of chaos.
How to Get Tickets
Given the buzz surrounding this show, tickets are expected to sell out quickly. Here’s how to grab yours:
- When They Go On Sale: Keep an eye on official ticketing platforms and Marilyn Manson’s website for announcements about presales and general on-sale dates.
- Where to Buy: Secure your tickets through trusted sources like Ticketmaster or directly via The Van Buren’s box office to avoid scams.
- Pro Tip: Sign up for newsletters from The Van Buren or Marilyn Manson’s team to stay ahead of updates and potential presale opportunities.
