Marilyn Manson’s Brighton Concert Cancelled After Public Pressure

The opening UK show of Marilyn Manson’s “One Assassination Under God” tour, scheduled for 29 October at the Brighton Centre, has been cancelled. Fans trying to purchase tickets on Ticketmaster received a message stating, “this event has been cancelled.”

MP and Advocacy Groups Call for Cancellation

Green Party MP Sian Berry of Brighton Pavilion urged Brighton and Hove City Council to cancel the concert in an open letter co-signed by victim support organizations and the University of Sussex students’ union. Berry cited concerns from survivors of abuse and the potential impact on the community.

Background on Legal Allegations

Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, was under investigation in Los Angeles for alleged sexual assault and domestic violence between 2009 and 2011. However, earlier this year, the LA County District Attorney declined to press charges, citing statutes of limitations and insufficient evidence. Manson has consistently denied the accusations.

Public Reaction and Remaining Tour Dates

The cancellation sparked mixed reactions online, with some supporting the decision while others criticized it as censorship, noting that Manson has not been convicted of any crimes. Despite the Brighton cancellation, five other UK concerts in October and November are still listed on ticketing platforms.
