TOUR OPENER: Freaks on Parade Launches in West Palm Beach!

On Thursday, August 20, 2026, Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson kick off the Freaks on Parade Tour at iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre. This is show #1—the very first date of their 21-show North American co-headlining run. West Palm Beach fans will be the first in the country to witness the debut of shock-rock's most anticipated tour in years.

Tour openers are legendary. The energy is electric as artists unveil their full production for the first time. The setlists are fresh. The crowd is hungry to be first. And South Florida fans get to experience it all before anyone else. With The Hu and Orgy kicking things off, this four-act spectacle will set the tone for the entire tour.

Why Tour Openers Are Special

Being at the first show of a major tour offers a truly unique concert experience. Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson have spent months building their stage production—perfecting the lighting, pyrotechnics, video screens, and visual elements that define their legendary shows. West Palm Beach fans will be the first to see it all come together live.

Tour openers also feature an element of surprise. Artists often deliver extended sets, play deep cuts that may disappear from later shows, or share special moments acknowledging they're launching something new. For a tour as anticipated as Freaks on Parade—Rob Zombie's first major tour behind "The Great Satan" and Marilyn Manson's first co-headlining tour in over five years—opening night energy will be through the roof.

About iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre

iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre sits on 13 acres at the South Florida Fairgrounds, approximately 10 miles from downtown West Palm Beach. With roughly 8,000 covered pavilion seats and lawn capacity for 12,000 more, the venue accommodates nearly 20,000 fans. Its west-facing orientation treats audiences to stunning South Florida sunset views—the original reason it was named "Coral Sky Amphitheatre" when it opened in 1996.

Thanks to the Palm Beaches' year-round warm climate, iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre operates as a true year-round concert venue—a rarity among outdoor amphitheaters. Major tours that play arenas in colder climates often choose this outdoor venue for Florida dates, creating unforgettable under-the-stars experiences.

Rob Zombie & Marilyn Manson: The Reunion

The Freaks on Parade Tour represents the fourth co-headlining trek for these shock-rock legends. Their partnership began with the 2012 "Twins of Evil" tour, continued through "Twins of Evil: The Second Coming" (2018) and "Twins of Evil: Hell Never Dies" (2019). After years apart, they reunite for what promises to be their most ambitious collaboration yet—and it all starts in West Palm Beach.

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 alongside crushing guitars.

Orgy follows with their signature industrial rock sound—multi-platinum success including their iconic cover of "Blue Monday" and original hit "Stitches." Their dark aesthetic perfectly bridges the gap between The Hu's unique sound and the headliners' theatrical vision.

Venue History: The Many Names of iTHINK

iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre holds a unique distinction: it has undergone more name changes than any other amphitheater in the United States. Since opening in 1996, it has been known as Coral Sky Amphitheatre (original), Mars Music Amphitheatre (2000), Sound Advice Amphitheatre (2003), Cruzan Amphitheatre (2008), back to Coral Sky (2015), Perfect Vodka Amphitheatre (2015-2017), Coral Sky again (2017), and finally iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre (2020). Despite the revolving sponsors, the venue's reputation for world-class concerts has never changed.

Why "Coral Sky"?

The venue's original name—Coral Sky Amphitheatre—came from its west-facing orientation. As the sun sets during evening concerts, audiences often witness stunning coral-colored Florida sunsets behind the stage. It's a visual element that enhances the concert experience and explains why the name has returned multiple times between sponsors.
