Marilyn Manson’s upcoming show in Bournemouth, UK might be cancelled

There is increasing opposition to Marilyn Manson‘s performance at the Windsor Hall/Bournemouth International Centre in Bournemouth, UK, on October 31. According to the BBC, Millie Earl, the head of the Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole (BCP) Council, has opposed the controversial shock rocker’s planned performance. With more than a dozen women coming forward with concerning charges about Manson during the preceding years, the latter politician has criticized the many accusations of sexual assault and misbehavior that were made against him. In an effort to “reinforce the message that violence against women and girls isn’t something that’s acceptable in our community,” Earl has stated that Manson‘s scheduled Halloween show ought to be canceled. The Bournemouth International Centre, where Manson is scheduled to perform, is owned by the BCP and run by BH Live.

Because of our lease arrangement with them, we don’t have any input into the decisions that are made, the acts that are appearing, although I have actually written to BH Live to express my concern. I don’t feel Marilyn Manson reflects the values we have in BCP and we’ve been doing a lot of work around things like the White Ribbon accreditation scheme which helps men and boys change negative, damaging behaviours. So I have asked that BH Live reconsider hosting Marilyn Manson later this year.
