Marilyn Manson finished up their European run on Saturday, February 24th with a concert at Moscow's Olympiski Hall. Their first time ever visit to Moscow, the show had to be postponed from the 23rd to the 24th when the band's equipment was delayed en route from Finland (the delay said to have been caused by a combination of heavy snow and failure to pay a "bribe" to Russian officials to move things along faster). After a short break, the tour will commence on March 11th in Tokyo, Japan, the first of 7 dates in The Land of the Rising Sun. The date on the 11th was recently added as the result of both shows scheduled in Tokyo for the 19th and 20th being sold out. No word yet on whether this leg of the tour will include a stop in Australia.
