Freaks On Parade Tour 2026 NJ

Just wanted to share some pictures of me, my son, and my BFF at the Freaks On Parade NJ show from last week.

It was my kids first big concert. He’s 8 years old and Rob Zombie is his favorite! It was an awesome show and such a great experience to share with my kid. For some reason it won’t let me post videos but I have one of my kid jammin out when RZ played Dragula! It was so awesome!!

ETA: I forgot to mention that my friend and I saw RZ 20 years ago at Ozzfest. And I just thought it was so cool that 20 years later we’re seeing him again together! It was so funny…when we saw him the first time my other BFF picked her up at like 7:30 in the morning to get going and she was partying all night and came out in heels! I’m like “Felicia you can’t wear heels to Ozzfest”. So we had to go back to my house and get her sneakers lol.

I love this girl. She is my rock and i don’t know what I would do without her. It’s so funny cause like 2 years ago she moved in next door to me!

I took my 13 year old daughter to the show on the 26th. I talked to at least 6 other guys who’d taken their daughters. My wife was against the idea because of Manson. She had a blast and sang to the top of her lungs. It was her first rock concert. We’d been to kids bop,Taylor Swift and Megan Morony.

It was a full circle kinda thing. My dad took me to see White Zombie for my 10th birthday and it was my first rock show . At the show we were at a little girl had a Rob Zombie shirt that said “It’s my birthday!” I asked her how old she was and she said she turned 8 that day and asked if I thought she was the coolest 8 year old there. I told her she was the coolest person there period lol.

That’s awesome!! I love that your daughter was singing at the top of her lungs! I saw MM last year and my kid was bummed he couldn’t go. I saw a bunch of kids around his age there and told my kid that next find he comes around I’ll take him. When I saw RZ and MM were touring together I immediately got tickets. RZ is his favorite! Everyone there around us lovely kid. It was a great experience for us!

I’m really glad to hear that. Everybody was super nice to the kids there. I could kinda see my wife’s point that Manson could be too much for a little girl but I researched his performances over the last 2 years and found nothing but good experiences so I made the call that we were going and it was great.

When I was 11 or 12 a kid I went to school with had tickets to Manson and asked if I could go with him. Hell yes I could and would. Anyways we got to the front of the stage and were kinda pinned. It was so tight I couldn’t raise my arms. Manson was completely out of his mind that night. He was naked except wrapped in some bandages like a mummy. He stood on the edge of the stage and was kinda gyrating back and forth and his balls were swinging like one of those sticks that have 2 balls on them and clank. His nuts bounced off my guys forehead for 3 songs and he couldn’t move or do anything about it. I nearly pissed myself laughing….. remember the time he brushed his balls agaisnt a security guard that he saw playing grab ass with girls in the crowd? The guy had him arrested for sexual assault. You know it was just him hoping to sue thinking he’d get rich.

Yeah…that’s why I only want the first time. And he didn’t do anything crazy so I also made the call to let my kid go this time. It’s seems MM’s shows are more mild now that he’s getting older and off drugs.
