Marilyn Manson and Angine de Poitrine will both perform at The Wiltern in Los Angeles this fall, according to the venue’s calendar. Manson is scheduled for Halloween weekend shows on October 31 and November 1, 2026, while Angine de Poitrine will perform on December 4 and 5, 2026.
The announcement comes as Manson continues to navigate his return to touring following multiple sexual misconduct and domestic violence allegations. According to Variety, the Los Angeles County District Attorney ruled in 2025 that Manson would not be prosecuted over these allegations, though several civil lawsuits remain ongoing.
Controversy and Comeback
Manson’s booking represents one of his highest-profile Los Angeles appearances since the allegations surfaced in 2021. Variety reports that actress Evan Rachel Wood and “Game of Thrones” actress EsmΓ© Blanco were among more than a dozen women who accused Manson of abuse. Manson subsequently dropped a defamation lawsuit against Wood in 2024 and was ordered to pay her legal fees.
Despite the controversy, Manson maintains support from some musical peers. Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins recently told the New York Times’ “Popcast” podcast that he “personally didn’t feel that he was guilty” and emphasized their three-decade friendship. “I don’t want the world to tell me who my friends are and who I should associate with,” Corgan stated.
Los Angeles Venue Stands Firm
The Wiltern’s booking of both artists signals the historic venue’s continued commitment to hosting diverse acts despite potential controversy. Located in Koreatown, The Wiltern has long been a staple of Los Angeles’ live music scene, hosting everything from metal shows to indie rock performances.
Angine de Poitrine’s back-to-back December shows follow the band’s growing popularity in the rock scene. While specific details about the performances haven’t been announced, both artists’ multi-night stands suggest strong ticket demand. The Wiltern has previously hosted Manson multiple times throughout his career, making these shows something of a homecoming despite the surrounding controversy.
Ticket information and supporting acts for both concert series have not yet been announced. The shows come during a busy season for The Wiltern, which continues to book major acts across genres despite ongoing debates about artist accountability in the #MeToo era.
