Hide your bibles and clutch your pearls, mun — the Antichrist Superstar himself is coming back. Marilyn Manson has officially announced his return to the stage this autumn with the second leg of his “One Assassination Under God” Tour, and yes — Cardiff is on the list. 🤘
📍 Saturday 1st November 2025 — Utilita Arena, Cardiff
🎟️ Tickets: myticket.co.uk
After a few turbulent years out of the spotlight, it seems Manson’s ready to reclaim his dark throne once again. Known for turning arenas into gothic cathedrals of chaos, fans can expect the full theatrical spectacle — sermons of shock rock, screams, smoke, and sin all rolled into one beautifully blasphemous night. 🕷️🔥
The One Assassination Under God tour has already caused a stir in North America, with die-hard fans calling it a “resurrection” of Manson’s classic form — think “The Beautiful People,” “Tourniquet,” and “Sweet Dreams” with enough stage fire and black eyeliner to make Lucifer blush.
Cardiff’s Utilita Arena will be transformed into a cathedral of noise, as Manson brings his signature blend of industrial menace and performance art to Welsh soil once again. Whether you’ve been a fan since Mechanical Animals or you’re just there to see what all the fuss is about, it’s bound to be one hell of a night.

Tidy? Maybe not. Legendary? Absolutely. 🖤
Michael is the founder, editor, and chief riff wrangler behind The Riff Report, an independent Welsh rock and metal publication built by fans, for fans. With a lifelong passion for loud guitars, unforgettable live shows, and the incredible community that surrounds rock and metal, he created The Riff Report to celebrate everything that makes the scene special—from legendary headline acts and grassroots venues to rising bands that deserve to be heard.
A familiar face at festivals across the UK, Michael spends much of the year covering events including Download Festival, Bloodstock Open Air, Steelhouse Festival, Firevolt, Plumpton Revival, and many more. Whether he’s battling the Welsh weather on a mountainside, surviving a weekend in a muddy campsite, or squeezed against the front barrier with thousands of fellow fans, he’s always searching for the next great story to share.
As editor of The Riff Report, Michael writes festival guides, breaking news, album reviews, gig reviews, interviews, opinion pieces, nostalgia features, and behind-the-scenes stories from across the rock and metal world. His writing combines honest opinions, humour, and a genuine love for live music, bringing readers closer to the bands, festivals, venues, and people that keep the scene alive.
Michael is particularly passionate about supporting independent artists, local venues, charities, and the wider UK rock and metal community. He believes every band deserves a chance to be discovered and every festival has a story worth telling. Through The Riff Report, he aims to shine a spotlight on both the biggest names in rock and the future stars waiting to break through.
When he’s not writing or interviewing artists, you’ll probably find him exploring festival campsites, photographing live shows, chatting with fellow fans over a pint, or planning the next road trip in search of more riffs, bigger crowds, and unforgettable moments.
Above all, Michael believes rock and metal are about more than music—they’re about community, friendship, and creating memories that last a lifetime. That’s exactly what The Riff Report exists to celebrate.
Proudly Welsh. Proudly Loud. Always chasing the next great riff. 🤘
