Twins of Evil Tour
The Twins of Evil Tour was the first double bill concert tour co-headlined by American rock bands Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson. Launched in support of each band's respective full-length studio LPs, 2010's Hellbilly Deluxe 2 and 2012's Born Villain, the tour visited stadiums from September 28, 2012, through December 12, 2012. It was conceived as a follow-up tour for Zombie's Hellbilly Deluxe 2 World Tour. At the time, Marilyn Manson was engaged in their worldwide Hey Cruel World... Tour, hence, Twins of Evil became a 'tour within a tour' for the band. It consisted of two legs covering concert dates in the United States and Europe.

The tour made headlines within the rock community due to a highly publicized altercation between the bands' respective lead vocalists. Despite this, both frontmen privately made amends and Twins of Evil became a critically and commercially successful double bill touring franchise that spawned two sequels, 2018's "Twins of Evil: The Second Coming Tour" with special guest Deadly Apples and 2019's "Twins of Evil: Hell Never Dies Tour".
