Freaks on Parade Storms the Legendary Riverport
On Wednesday, September 9, 2026, Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson bring the Freaks on Parade Tour to Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre—the venue St. Louisans have called "Riverport" since it opened in 1991. With a storied history of hosting rock's biggest and most legendary acts, this 20,000-capacity amphitheater provides the perfect setting for shock-rock's most theatrical tour.
The Gateway City has always embraced hard rock, and Freaks on Parade delivers exactly what St. Louis craves. Two of rock's most visually spectacular performers, backed by The Hu and Orgy, will transform the venue into a horror-rock spectacle. Coming as the 14th show of the 21-date tour, the production will be fully refined and firing on all cylinders.
About Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre ("Riverport")
Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre opened on June 14, 1991, as Riverport Amphitheatre, with Steve Winwood performing the inaugural show. Despite multiple name changes over the decades—UMB Bank Pavilion (2002), Verizon Wireless Amphitheater (2007), and Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre (2015)—St. Louis locals have never stopped calling it "Riverport." The name is a badge of honor for a venue that has hosted some of rock's most memorable moments.
With 7,000 covered pavilion seats and lawn capacity for 13,000 more, the venue ranks among the largest outdoor amphitheaters in the Midwest. Located in Maryland Heights, just 5 miles from the airport and off I-70/I-270, it offers convenient access from anywhere in the St. Louis metro area. Parking is included with every ticket, and all events use mobile entry only.
A Venue Built for Rock Legends
Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre's rock credentials run deep. The venue has hosted Guns N' Roses, Ozzfest, Mayhem Festival, Family Values Tour, and countless other heavy rock events. In 2000, REO Speedwagon and Styx recorded their live album Arch Allies here. In 2010, Sting performed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The venue knows how to handle massive productions—and Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson will deliver exactly that.
Rob Zombie & Marilyn Manson: Masters of Spectacle
The Freaks on Parade Tour unites two of rock's most visually spectacular performers. Rob Zombie arrives behind his eighth solo album, "The Great Satan" (released February 27, 2026), continuing his remarkable streak of every solo album debuting in the Billboard Top 10. An eight-time Grammy nominee and acclaimed horror filmmaker (House of 1,000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects), Zombie's elaborate stage productions feature pyrotechnics, giant screens, and non-stop visual chaos.
Marilyn Manson brings nine Top 10 albums and two #1 debuts to the stage, including his 2024 release "One Assassination Under God — Chapter 1." The Freaks on Parade Tour marks his first major co-headlining tour in over five years—a significant return for one of rock's most provocative performers.
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 (horsehead fiddle) 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 bridges the gap between The Hu's unique sound and the headliners' theatrical vision.

The partnership continued through "Twins of Evil: The Second Coming" (2018) and "Twins of Evil: Hell Never Dies" (2019). The Freaks on Parade Tour represents their fourth joint trek—and arriving as show #14 of 21, the St. Louis production will be polished and powerful.
