Marilyn Manson Announces headline show O2 Academy Brixton - London

Thursday 5^th July 2012

To release Limited edition 7” single for Record Store Day – NO REFLECTION – April 21^st 2012

Marilyn Manson has announced a headline solo date at London’s O₂ Academy Brixton on Thursday 5^th July 2012. The show will go on sale at 9am GMT on Thursday 12^th April 2012. Tickets will be available from www.kililive.com and www.o2academybrixton.co.uk and further guests are set to be announced.

Marilyn Manson continues to upend the mainstream with each new release, and his upcoming album Born Villain is about to take that a bit further on April 30th, 2012. Evidence #1, the single, “No Reflection”

The single will be released as white 7” vinyl in the UK and Europe on the 21^st April 2012. The vinyl will be strictly limited to 1500 copies and will feature “No Reflection” (album version) and “No Reflection” (single edit). The release is in support of Record Store Day. Further information available on www.recordstoreday.co.uk

“No Reflection” is the lead track from Marilyn Manson’s forthcoming album “Born Villain”. "The new record put simply has the ambition and determination of how I started making music in the first place," Manson says. "It sounds like the first record in that it's not afraid to do anything. I had to remove myself from my lifestyle and start fresh.”

"It doesn't really sound like any of my old records," Manson says in an upcoming Revolver magazine cover story. "In fact it sort of sounds like what I listened to before I made records — Killing Joke, Joy Division, Revolting Cocks, Bauhaus, Birthday Party…It's very rhythm-driven. I think this will probably be the grandest concept record of all."

The tumultuous relationship Marilyn Manson has cultivated with the public through his genre-defying music and anti-status quo message of thinking for oneself has resulted in sold-out tours, protests, legal battles, adoration, hate, more than 50 million records sales, award-winning distilled spirits, several Grammy nominations and, most importantly, a long list of some of the most enduring and powerful singles ever, such as “Lunchbox,” “Get Your Gunn” “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” “The Beautiful People,” “Antichrist Superstar,” “Tourniquet,” “The Dope Show,” “I Don’t Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me),” “The Fight Song,” “Mobscene “Heart-Shaped Glasses,” “Coma White” and “If I Was Your Vampire.”

Marilyn Manson has had astounding success across the globe including three albums being certified platinum and three more certified gold in the USA, in addition to three top ten albums and two number-one albums (Mechanical Animals and The Golden Age of Grotesque). Leading up to the release of Born Villain, Marilyn Manson will be touring the United States for the first time since 2009. He kicks it off by headlining the Revolver “Golden Gods Awards” on April 11^th at Club Nokia in Los Angeles – his first U.S. performance in nearly threeyears.

NME is excited to reveal the nominations for its prestigious NME Awards 2012 which take place at London’s O₂ Academy Brixton on Wednesday 29 February. They can also reveal that Kasabian, and The Vaccines are amongst the performers on the night and that Florence Welch and The Horrors are gearing up for a very special collaboration. British comedy’s hottest new star, Jack Whitehall, is confirmed to host the awards, tickets for the iconic ceremony go on sale at 9am on Friday 3 February and are available at www.nme.com .

An incredible eight million votes have been cast this year for the 26 award categories, proving that the NME Awards 2012 is a ceremony that music fans nationwide are truly passionate about. Leading the nominations this year are Arctic Monkeys who are up for an unprecedented seven awards including Best British Band, Best Album and Best Track (for ‘The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala’). 

Matt Helders, Arctic Monkeys: "We're up for all the big ones - we're very happy. We had a lot of fun making 'Suck It And See' and it's great to be up for Best Live Band. That's all we do - record or play live - so it's good to be recognised!"

Kasabian and The Horrors are set to fight Arctic Monkeys for the night’s biggest awards, with Kasabian up for three awards including Best British Band and Best Live Act and The Horrors up for Best British Band and Best Album. Despite not having an album out since 2009, Muse are nominated for Best British Band and Best Live Band whilst The Vaccines crown their incredible year with nominations for Best New Band and Best Album. Elsewhere, Florence + The Machine is up for Best Solo Artist, Best Track (for ‘Shake It Out’) and Florence herself is up for hottest female.

Florence Welch: "I'd be so excited to win an NME Award - I've never won one! I've only been once to the NME Awards ceremony and it's the drunkest I've ever been at an awards ceremony. I'm very surprised you're having me back. Glasvegas gave me some Buckfast and that was that."

Justin Young, The Vaccines: "It's awesome to be nominated. We've had an amazing year and it just seemed to get better and better. We were in this position this time last year where everything for us seemed to hinge on a set of predictions, so to come out with a record that's really connected with people and to be able to tour all over the world has been completely amazing."

As previously announced, Noel Gallagher is the recipient of the NME Awards 2012 Godlike Genius Award. He will also be vying for four other gongs on the night, including Best Solo Artist and Best Album for 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds'.

Coalition government duo David Cameron and Nick Clegg once again attract the wrath of NME readers, both are nominated for ‘Villain Of The Year’ alongside Liam Gallagher, Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga. Hero Of The Year will be fought out by Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Matt Bellamy (Muse), Noel Fielding and Noel Gallagher.

The NME Awards 2012 are thrilled to confirm comedy’s fastest rising star Jack Whitehall as this year’s host.  Having established himself as a prodigious talent on the UK comedy scene with sell out tour shows up and down the country and two British Comedy Award nominations to boot, he’s the perfect choice to keep a room of rowdy rock stars in check.  Referencing the infamous NME Awards 2006, hosted by Russell Brand, Jack commented: “It's brilliant to be able to host the NME awards I'm one step closer to having Bob Geldof call me a c*nt!”.
