The Hellbilly Deluxe 2 World Tour was a worldwide concert tour by American rock band Rob Zombie that began in October 2009 in support of his fourth studio album Hellbilly Deluxe 2. The tour consisted of 12 legs spanning across Japan, North America, Europe and Australia. The tour marked the first time Zombie has performed internationally since the beginning of his solo career.
After the completion of the Hellbilly Deluxe 2 recording sessions, Zombie announced that his live band and himself were heading to Japan to co-headline the Loudpark Festival in Chiba on October 18, 2009 preceded by two headlining performance in Tokyo and Osaka. The performances debuted several songs from the upcoming record and marked Zombie's first ever solo appearances in the country.
After returning from Japan, Zombie embarked on a tour of North America simply dubbed The Hellbilly Deluxe 2 Tour despite the fact that the album was not released until several months later. The bands Nekromantix and Captain Clegg & the Night Creatures, the fictional band from Halloween II, served as the opening acts for all dates. Another fictional character from the film, Uncle Seymour Coffins, hosted the Los Angeles show on Halloween. The tour supported Zombie's unreleased album of the same name. The tour spanned from late October to early December. It was also the last leg of the tour to feature Tommy Clufetos on drums who left the band after the release of Hellbilly Deluxe 2 to join Ozzy Osbourne.
After months of silence from the band and Zombie himself, it was announced in early March that drummer Tommy Clufetos had left the group to join Ozzy Osbourne. Shortly after, it was announced that he had been replaced by Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison.
