The '''Mechanical Animals Tour: European Festival Leg''' was supposed to be the first leg of Marilyn Manson's 1998-1999 [[Mechanical Animals Tour]]. This particular leg of the tour consisted of 6 dates to be played at various European festivals. The performances were what the band planned as the debut of follow-up material to ''[[Antichrist Superstar]]'' two months before the release of ''[[Mechanical Animals]]''. This leg of the tour spanned from June 25, 1998 until July 12, 1999.

Reportedly, drummer [[Ginger Fish]] became ill with mononucleosis.<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> This led the band to cancel the European festival leg and postpone the beginning of the tour to October 25, 1998.<ref name="VH1Gingermono"/> Also when Ginger became ill, Zim Zum decided to leave the band. He was replaced with [[John 5]].
