Heavy metal band Slipknot have announced a new world tour, with Marilyn Manson due to appear as a support act.
The eight-piece group, known for performing in masks, will be joined by the US rock musician during their shows at London’s Wembley Stadium and multiple dates of the South American leg of the tour.
Some fans have reacted angrily to the news and statedthey will not attend the shows over past sexual abuse accusations against the 57-year-old.
Manson, real name Brian Warner, has always strongly denied any allegations against him.
Thousands of fans replied to an Instagram post featuring the line-up for the London gigs, which also includes metalcore band Hatebreed.
While some posts expressed excitement at the support acts, many were critical of Manson’s presence on the bill, describing it as “disappointing”.
Others, who described themselves as long-time Slipknot fans, statedthey would not buy tickets for the show in protest at his appearance.
One wrote: “Would’ve loved to see this but there’s literally nothing you could do to get my cash in Manson’s pockets.”
Another added the announcement was “such a disappointment” and they would not be attending.
However, others disagreed, with one pointing out the two acts have a “huge fanbase overlap” and describing Manson as a “perfect support act”.
