Freaks on Parade Invades the Pacific Northwest
On Friday, September 18, 2026, Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson bring the Freaks on Parade Tour to Cascades Amphitheater—the largest outdoor concert venue in the Portland metropolitan area. Nestled in the stunning natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, just 20 minutes north of Portland, this 18,000-capacity venue offers the perfect setting for shock-rock's most theatrical tour.
The Friday night timing makes this show ideal for kicking off the weekend with two of rock's most visually spectacular performers, backed by the incredible The Hu and Orgy. With the tour nearing its conclusion (this is the 19th of 21 shows), expect a fully refined production and artists performing at their peak.
About Cascades Amphitheater
Cascades Amphitheater has been the Pacific Northwest's premier outdoor concert destination since opening in 2003. Located in Ridgefield, Washington—just across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon—the venue combines world-class acoustics with stunning natural surroundings. With 7,810 covered pavilion seats and lawn capacity for approximately 10,000 more, there's a perfect spot for every type of concert fan.
The venue has hosted legendary acts including Coldplay (first to sell out the venue in 2009), Morgan Wallen, Aerosmith, The Police, and countless others. Its natural Pacific Northwest setting—surrounded by forests and within reach of the Columbia River Gorge—creates an atmosphere unlike any other amphitheater in the country. Shows go on rain or shine, so PNW natives know to plan accordingly!
Rob Zombie & Marilyn Manson: Masters of Theatrical Rock
The Freaks on Parade Tour unites two of rock's most visually spectacular performers. Rob Zombie arrives behind his eighth solo album, "The Great Satan" (released February 27, 2026), continuing his remarkable streak of every solo album debuting in the Billboard Top 10. An eight-time Grammy nominee and acclaimed horror filmmaker (House of 1,000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects), Zombie's elaborate stage productions are legendary—expect pyrotechnics, giant screens, and non-stop visual spectacle.
Marilyn Manson brings nine Top 10 albums and two #1 debuts to the stage, including his 2024 release "One Assassination Under God — Chapter 1." The Freaks on Parade Tour marks his first major co-headlining tour in over five years—a significant return for one of rock's most influential provocateurs.
Supporting Acts: The Hu and Orgy
The Hu opens the evening with their revolutionary fusion of Mongolian throat singing and heavy metal. The gold-certified band has accumulated over 830 million streams worldwide, featuring traditional instruments like the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle) alongside crushing guitars. Their sound is truly unlike anything else in modern rock.
Orgy follows with their signature industrial rock sound. The LA band earned multi-platinum success with their synth-heavy approach, including their iconic cover of "Blue Monday" and original hit "Stitches." Their dark aesthetic bridges the gap between The Hu's unique sound and the headliners' shock-rock spectacle.

The Zombie-Manson Partnership
Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson's co-headlining history spans over a decade. Their first collaboration, the 2012 "Twins of Evil" tour, became famous for a highly-publicized onstage confrontation. What began as rivalry evolved into genuine partnership, leading to "Twins of Evil: The Second Coming" (2018) and "Twins of Evil: Hell Never Dies" (2019). The Freaks on Parade Tour represents their fourth joint trek—and with this being show #19 of 21, the production will be fully refined.
