Sturgis, SD (April 1, 2025): The “Antichrist Superstar” is set to rock the faces off all “The Beautiful People” at the Largest Music Festival in Motorcycling for the first time ever on Thursday, Aug. 7. Marilyn Manson will deliver a compelling performance so wildly unique that it will go down in history as one of the most exceptional shows the Sturgis Rally has ever seen. Manson joins an epic 2025 Buffalo Chip lineup that also includes Nickelback, Jason Aldean, Five Finger Death Punch, ZZ Top, Stone Temple Pilots, KISS’ Gene Simmons, and more still to be announced for the 85th anniversary of the Sturgis Rally. Passes are available at the Buffalo Chip website.
“Marilyn Manson is definitely a one-of-a-kind artist who belongs at the Legendary Buffalo Chip,” according to Rod Woodruff, CEO of the Sturgis Buffalo Chip. “His larger-than-life rockstar persona will add an entirely new dimension to what is already the most exciting nine-day concert series on the continent. We’ll all be talking about his performance.”
No doubt about it, Marilyn Manson is no stranger to selling out stadiums, having albums go certified platinum and being a cultural icon that rock and metal fans have gone out of their way to see for over three decades. On Thursday, Aug. 7, Manson will hand deliver to the Chip a smattering of timeless gothic groove hits like “The Dope Show,” “Personal Jesus,” “Tainted Love,” “Antichrist Superstar” and “The Beautiful People,” as well as hits from the newest hard-hitting album One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1.
In addition to world-class concerts, Buffalo Chip guests can experience charity rides, events, a freedom celebration, custom bike shows, stunts, women’s events, racing, and more during the 2025 event. The festival runs Aug. 1-10, 2025. For a full list of Sturgis Buffalo Chip events, see the Buffalo Chip’s Events page.
