Marilyn Manson is set to embark on his first tour of Australia in over a decade.
On Wednesday, the controversial musician announced a string of headline shows next February, in what will be his first run of the country in 12 years.
Manson has confirmed dates in Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney. Click here for more details.
The news comes just two months after a Los Angeles County judge granted a trial date to the woman who claims Marilyn Manson sexually assaulted her at his West Hollywood home studio in 2010 and later subjected her to physical and emotional abuse when she worked as his assistant.
The long-running case has survived multiple challenges by Warner. A different judge dismissed it as untimely in May 2022, but an appellate panel later revived it, allowing Walters to try to show that trauma-induced memory suppression delayed her filing. Judge Cochran dismissed the case again in December 2025 after finding Walters failed to make that showing.
But Cochran reversed that decision in January after Walters invoked a new California law, AB 250, that opened a two-year window for certain previously time-barred sexual assault claims. In June, Cochran rejected Warner’s latest effort to dismiss or narrow Walters’ third amended complaint.
Beyond her core allegations, Walters also alleges she secretly brought food and drinks to Warner’s “starving and distraught” girlfriends while they hid in his home and that she witnessed Warner throw a prop skull at his former fiancée Evan Rachel Wood with enough force to leave a large welt. Warner has denied wrongdoing.

Walters first stepped forward in February 2021 as multiple women, including Wood, accused Warner of physical and emotional abuse. Rolling Stone later published a lengthy investigation in late 2021 after speaking with more than 55 sources. Warner, 57, reached out-of-court settlements with two accusers, including actress Esmé Bianco. He previously dropped defamation and harassment claims against Wood.
