Marilyn Manson has been a touring monster for most of 2012. The rocker began his road trip in February on Australia’s Sidewaves festival, followed it with a headlining journey through Japan, U.S. headlining dates and a co-headline adventure with Rob Zombie. Manson is currently in Europe, playing a few dates with Zombie as well as headlining his own shows. Guess it’s true what they say – there really is no rest for the wicked.

While the number of shows on Manson’s 2013 calendar have been increasing as individual venues announce their own evenings with the minister of macabre, the routing behind the madness is beginning to shine. Now it looks as if Manson will begin his 2013 journey in Milwaukee, head eastward toward Boston then storm across Canada followed by a series of dates on America’s West Coast.
