ROB ZOMBIE: 'Hellbilly Deluxe 2 Tour' Dates Announced - Sep. 14, 2009
Rob Zombie will be destroying a city near you beginning October 29 on the "Hellbilly Deluxe 2 Tour". Not since 1998's super smash triple platinum "Hellbilly Deluxe" has Zombie hit the road under that moniker.

Confirmed dates are as follows:

Oct. 29 - Phoenix, AZ - Dodge Theatre
Oct. 30 - Las Vegas, NV - The Pearl
Oct. 31 - Hollywood, CA - Hollywood Palladium
Nov. 03 - San Jose, CA - San Jose Event Center
Nov. 05 - Salt Lake City, UT - Great Salt Air
Nov. 06 - Denver, CO - The Fillmore
Nov. 08 - Tulsa, OK - Brady Theater
Nov. 11 - Houston, TX - Verizon Wireless Theater
Nov. 17 - Akron, OH - Civic Theatre
Nov. 20 - Minneapolis, MN - Roy Wilkins Auditorium
Nov. 21 - Des Moines, IL - Val Air Ballroom
Nov. 22 - Chicago, IL - Aragon Ballroom
Nov. 24 - Louisville, KY - Broadbent Arena
Nov. 27 - Detroit, MI - The Fillmore
Dec. 01 - New York, NY - Hammerstein Ballroom

Dec. 03 - Uncasville, CT - Mohegan Sun Arena
Dec. 04 - Philadelphia, PA - Electric Factory
Dec. 05 - Washington, DC - 9:30 Club

This will be Zombie's first headline tour since 2007 and will have other ghoulish delights in tow, including openers NEKROMANTIX and CAPTAIN CLEGG & THE NIGHT CREATURES, last seen rocking Haddonfield and Michael Myers in Zombie's new film "Halloween II". The tour will usher in Zombie's forthcoming album, "Hellbilly Deluxe 2 – Noble Jackals, Penny Dreadfuls and the Systematic Dehumanization of Cool" (Geffen), a companion to 1998 original, which is due on November 10.

The tour will blasts off with Phoenix, AZ on October 29, Las Vegas, NV on October 30, and a very special Halloween event on October 31 in Hollywood, CA hosted by Uncle Seymour Coffins, also seen in "Halloween II". Zombie will be accompanied by his longtime bandmates — guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D and drummer Tommy Clufetos.

The "Hellbilly Deluxe 2" tour will mark Zombie's return to the road after moderate box office success as the writer and director of "Halloween II" (Dimension). His R-rated, animated feature, "The Haunted World Of El Superbeasto", will be available everywhere on DVD and Blu-ray September 22.

"I am bouncing off the walls like a mental patient," says Zombie. "That tells me it's time to take it to the stage and let the demons loose."

Zombie will return to the stage on October 18, when he co-headlines Loud Park festival in Japan with SLAYER that will also feature PAPA ROACH. Zombie says that touring is always a nice change of pace from making a movie. "Touring is awesome, because making a movie is very, like, meticulous and it's totally, you know, it's, like, very time-consuming," he tells The Pulse of Radio. "You're, when you're the director, you're on seven days a week, all day long — it's this meticulous type of process. So to go on tour, where all we have to do is hold it together for an hour onstage and whatever we do the rest of the time doesn't matter — you can be a complete mental patient — so yeah, touring is the great way to break free from that."

Zombie's third solo album, "Educated Horses", came out in 2006.

"Halloween II", the follow-up to Zombie's successful 2007 remake of the original 1978 horror classic, came in at No. 3 in its opening weekend, earning $17 million at the box office. That's far less than the $31 million his first "Halloween" flick did two years ago.

Zombie's next film will be a remake of "The Blob", which he is slated to begin shooting in the spring of 2010.

I agree. But I like his solo stuff well enough. We'll never see WZ regroup, so you may as well enjoy the greatness that is Rob Zombie's live show. Who knows, maybe HB2 will be a great industrial metal record.

Only one TX date??? I was really hoping for a San Antonio one. If this anywhere near like his tour for his first album, it's going to be bad ass!

COMMENT | No Canadian dates?!?

Is this the whole tour or just the first leg?

I'm disappointed there's not a single Canadian date on there.

Stoked to see Zombie releasing a new album, I've been patiently awaiting one. As for the WZ split, I believe RZ said it was something like, "after shows nobody would even speak to each other, we just left the stage and went different ways". So I guess it was just time to move on. Anyone, stoked for the new album. Can't Wait.

We won't see a reunion because half the band members wouldn't even look at Rob Zombie when the band broke up, let alone talk to him. Sean and Jay absolutely still detest Rob and I don't see that changing any time soon as the feeling is mutual from what I've seen in interviews around the time the boxed set came out. I'd kill for the opportunity to see White Zombie back together, but it just isn't a reality.

Halloween 2
Blob REMAKE
Hellbilly Delux 2

OUT OF IDEAS

But did this hack ever really have an original idea going in the first place? I don't think so.

Enjoy the lip synching.

Rob and Sean were dating. She learned the bass they they could start a rock band. They broke up after recording Astro Creep. They toured and then called the band quits before releasing the album with dance mixes of wz songs.

White Zombie La Sexorcisto Tour = Hands down worst live show (soundwise) I have ever seen. They should at least synthesize his voice live like they did on the albums. (they may now, but they did not then)

I heard rumors as well when the box set came out that there really is no hope of a White Zombie reunion, I think it's a shame, Rob's great, but the band did have something to do with it, no matter what he thinks. I saw them live a few times, once with Pantera, and once with the Ramones, great shows, sound was meh, but the band was tight, Rob's a good frontman but certainly no singer, his movies are average at best, and it's almost October, why not go on tour with no album to support, he can use the cash for the jello they'll need for a REMAKE of the Blob.
