Hellbilly Deluxe 2 World Tour

The Hellbilly Deluxe 2 World Tour is a current concert tour by solo artist Rob Zombie that started in October 2009 in support of his fourth studio album Hellbilly Deluxe 2. The tour currently consists of 6 legs spanning across Japan, the United States, Canada and Australia. Tommy Clufetos performed drums on the first two legs of the tour but left the group shortly after the release of the band's latest album. Joey Jordison of Slipknot was hired as his replacement. While on tour during the Mayhem Festival, Zombie announced in an interview that once he has completed the tour, he will be embarking on a co-headlining Halloween tour of the United States with Alice Cooper followed by a European tour. This will be the first time the band has performed in Europe in over ten years.^[1] The band have also been announced as co-headliners for the 2011 Soundwave Festival in Australia.^[2]

Before the band embarked on an extensive tour across North America, they performed two shows in Japan. These dates were Zombie's first headlining dates since 2007. The band performed one show in Tokyo and co-headlined the Loudpark Festival in Chiba, Japan. The band premiered the song What? during their show in Tokyo which would later became the first single off their upcoming album.^[3]

Zombie had expressed interest in touring with Alice Cooper for 15 years.^[12] The two united to create the Gruesome Twosome Tour which spanned 17 co-headlining dates across North America, 3 festival appearances and an appearance at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards ceremony. It was also the first tour to introduce Joey Jordison on drums who was announced in early March to be performing with Zombie for all of his upcoming spring and summer tour dates. He was contacted by John 5 and asked if he knew any drummers he could recommened for the upcoming tours after the departure of Tommy Clufetos. Jordison suggested himself and was immediately recruited by the band.^[13]The tour featured a new stage set-up and appearance for the band who began to wear more detailed costuming and make-up. The band also filmed the video for the song Mars Needs Women during this leg of the tour. The band kicked off the tour on April 8 with a performance at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards Show.^[14]
