The Hey Cruel World...Tour, by American rock band Marilyn Manson, supported their eighth full-length studio LP, 2012's Born Villain.

[1] The tour's 2012 itinerary was confirmed in October 2011 to include an Australian leg from late February to early March as part of the 5-day 2012 Soundwave music festival.

[2] After the Australian leg the tour continued to Asia, North America and Europe, including Manson's first performances in the United States since mid-2009.

"[4] Manson's set was recorded at the ROCK AM RING festival in Germany on 1 June 2012, but only three song performances (Hey Cruel World, Personal Jesus and Antichrist Superstar) have emerged online.

It was conceived as a follow-up to Zombie's Hellbilly Deluxe 2 World Tour and consisted of two legs, covering the United States and Europe.
