− | + | '''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. | |

− | == | + | After declining a headlining slot at the failing Lollapalooza summer music festival (along with numerous other bands) in early 1998 due to delays in ''Mechanical Animals''<nowiki>'</nowiki> release, the band launched the first of their own headlining tours in support of the album.<ref>{{cite web |last=Fischer |first=Blair |url=http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/cruel-summer-lollapalooza-98-canceled-19980403 |title=Cruel Summer: Lollapalooza '98 Canceled |work=Rolling Stone |publisher=Wenner Media LLC |date=1998-04-03 |accessdate=2011-06-08}}</ref> The tour was originally intended to begin on June 25, 1998 with a series of 6 festival dates in Europe lasting until July 12, 1998.<ref name="VH1Gingermono">{{cite web |url=http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/400077/19980624/index.jhtml |title=Marilyn Manson Shows Canceled |work=''VH1'' |publisher=MTV Networks (Viacom) |date=1998-06-24 |accessdate=2011-06-12}}</ref> However, drummer Ginger Fish became ill with mononucleosis, leading to the cancellation of the entire summer European leg and the postponement of the beginning of the tour to October 25, 1998 in Lawrence, Kansas.<ref name="VH1Gingermono"/> |

+ | ==Performance and show themes== | ||
+ | With this being the first leg of the tour, the stage show was minimal compared to later legs of the tour | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==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> | ||
