− | + | '''Mechanical Animals''' was the sixth tour [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]] embarked on, under management of major record label [[Interscope Records]]. It was also the band's second tour to span over multiple legs, despite only spanning two legs rather than that of the [[Dead to the World (tour)|Dead to the World Tour]]'s eight legs. After originally slated to start on June 26th 1998, the first set of dates were canceled and the band was on the tour from October 25, 1998<ref name="MTV Marilyn Manson Kicks Off Tour"/> until January 31, 1999. | |

+ | ==Incidents== | ||
+ | As with the band's preceding 1997 world tour, ''[[Dead to the World Tour|Dead to the World]]'', the Mechanical Animals Tour met with heavy resistance from civic and religious leaders. The first of these protests occurred on October 19, 1998. A month before a planned performance at the [[1998/11/19 Syracuse, NY|Landmark Theatre]] in Syracuse, New York, local activists began calling for a cancellation of the engagement. According to ''Associated Press'', then-Syracuse Mayor Roy Bernardi attempted to block the venue's permit, citing a "moral obligation to the people of Syracuse", without specifying any reason for his objections. Onondaga County officials also attempted to extort the Landmark into halting the event by threatening to withhold $30,000 in county funds earmarked for the venue, prompting the venue's bookers to consider dropping the show altogether. Despite this, representatives for the Landmark started selling tickets on the day it was planned and the performance took place on the arranged date and venue.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1431733/marilyn-manson-tour-draws-first-protests-syracuse-show-may-be-blocked.jhtml |title=Marilyn Manson Tour Draws First Protests, Syracuse Show May Be Blocked |publisher=MTV News |date=1998-10-19 |accessdate=2011-03-21}}</ref> | ||
