The live performance itself took place at the 2016 ‘Riot Fest‘ and will be titled “Astro-Creep: 2000 Live Songs Of Love, Destruction And Other Synthetic Delusions Of The Electric Head“.
Also due out the same day is an extensive series of vinyl releases of albums from Rob Zombie‘s solo works. Among the outings set for new vinyl releases are:

Zombie studied for a time at the Parsons School of Design. There he met Sean Yseult and the two quickly became a couple. Together they formed White Zombie, taking their name from a 1932 horror film starring Bela Lugosi. Before launching his music career, Zombie took on a number of offbeat jobs. He served as an art director for a pornographic magazine and a production assistant on the children’s television show Pee-Wee’s Playhouse starring Paul Reubens.
White Zombie, which sounded more alternative rock than heavy metal at first, soon got its first taste of success. The band started to develop a following with its late 1980s releases Psycho Head Blowout (1987), Soul-Crusher (1988), and Make Them Die Slowly (1989).
Signing with a major record label, Geffen, Zombie and his band hit the big time with 1992’s La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1. The song “Thunder Kiss ’65” helped the album become a top 30 hit the following year.
