The first concert of the tour Marilyn Manson took place in Bournemouth, England, and gathered crowds of loyal fans. The repertoire included both classics such as “The Beautiful People”, “The Dope Show” and the famous cover of Eurythmics “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)”, as well as new compositions from the album One Assassination Under God, Chapter 1, released in 2024.
Manson performed four songs from the album, including “As Sick as the Secrets Within” and the title track “One Assassination Under God”. However, the greatest stir was caused by the moment when the artist reached for the song “If I Was Your Vampire” from the album Eat Me, Drink Me (2007).

This dark, melancholic track, which opened one of the most personal albums of Manson’s career, has not appeared in concert since 2009. “It was a moment that no one expected – as if the artist had turned back time for a moment to a completely different era of his work,” wrote the Louder Sound website.
Will Warsaw also hear “If I Was Your Vampire”?
Interestingly, the song only appeared during the first concert in Bournemouth and was not played at subsequent performances. So it is not known whether Manson will decide to return to it during the planned concert in Warsaw.
Polish fans are looking forward to the performance, which will take place on November 19, 2025 at COS Torwar in Warsaw. This will be Manson’s first visit to Poland in seven years – he previously performed in June 2018, also in the same hall, and the support was the band Stone Sour.
This time, before the main concert, the audience will be warmed up by an American duo Dead Poseyknown for its energetic rock sound and gothic atmosphere.
Marilyn Manson still in shape
After the controversies that have accompanied his career in recent years, Marilyn Manson seems to be returning to artistic activity with new energy. “One Assassination Under God, Chapter 1,” released in November 2024, received mixed but intriguing reviews. Critics emphasized that this was Manson’s return to the more theatrical and apocalyptic style known from his earlier years.
As Rolling Stone noted, “Manson once again sounds like someone struggling with his own demons – and this time he does it with an artistic panache that has been missing in his recent projects.”
