Catholic Archbishop in Mexico Fails To Have Marilyn Manson Concert Canceled

The announcement of Marilyn Manson's free concert at the 2025 San Luis Potosí National Fair (FENAPO) sparked a strong reaction from the Roman Catholic Church in San Luis Potosí. During a press conference on June 15th 2025, Archbishop Jorge Cavazos Arizpe of San Luis Potosi revealed to journalists that he had sent a formal letter to Governor Ricardo Gallardo Cardona asking him to cancel the upcoming August 10th concert of Marilyn Manson in the Mexican city with more than 800,000 residents, arguing that his artistic history violates the values that should be promoted at a family and cultural event. “I have sent a letter to the governor, asking that, for the good of society and not just Christians, we have seen issues in his history that concern us,” the prelate declared at the press conference.
