The Women & Children Last World Tour was a concert tour by horror punk supergroup the Murderdolls in support of their re-formation and second studio album, of the same name, which was released in August 2010.

Overview

The band had officially ended their five-year hiatus in early 2010 when it was announced that Joey Jordison and Wednesday 13 would be reforming the Murderdolls with a new line-up to record the long-awaited follow-up to Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls . The band had planned on touring the United States earlier in the year, but these plans were terminated when Jordison became a full-time member of Rob Zombie. The band performed their first show in six years on June 15 in Pomona, California followed by another performance in Los Angeles two days later. It was also the first appearance of new members Roman Surman, Jack Tankersley and Racci Shay. Jordison resumed touring with Zombie in the following weeks as Zombie and his touring band were set to co-headling the Mayhem Festival with Korn. Wednesday 13 spent the duration of the Mayhem Festival promoting the band's new album.

After the culmination of the Mayhem Festival, Jordison once again returned to the band to perform an intimate show on the release date of their new album in his hometown of Des Moines, Iowa. The band then proceeded to begin their tour of Europe which began in early September. The leg consisted of appearances at the Two Days A Week festival in Austria, an appearance on the main stage at the UK edition of the Ozzfest, a number of dates supporting Guns N’ Roses and a small number of headlining shows. Wednesday 13 had expressed interest in touring with Guns N’ Roses again in the near future.

The band returned to the United States later in September to support Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper on the Halloween Hootenanny Tour. Jordison performed with both Rob Zombie and the Murderdolls during the tour. The tour consisted of 20 dates spanning across the country which became a personal record for the band after only had performing merely 14 dates in the United States for their previous tour. The band performed a headlining appearance at the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, California as well as two appearances on Fuel TV's "The Daily Habit" in November. The band was expected to embark on a headlining tour of the country throughout December but was cancelled due to unforeseeable circumstances.

The band embarked on a second leg of Europe in January 2011. They received support from the Black Veil Brides for every date in the United Kingdom. While performing in Bordeaux in France on January 27, Jordison slammed his guitar to the ground and walked off stage several times. The band continued to perform without him until he returned to perform their last song. Jordison publicly apologised on the band's website and states that this incident occurred because of his tinnitus. The band co-headlined the Soundwave Festival in Australia later in the month which ended in early March. Jordison yet again performed double duty with Rob Zombie for the duration of the tour. While performing in Perth on March 7, a similar incident to the one in Bordeuax occurred. Jordison picked up his guitar, slammed it on the ground and walked off stage before returning minutes later to be mocked by lead singer Wednesday 13. The band expected to wrap up their tour in Japan as Jordison is scheduled to return to Slipknot after the culmination of the tour, but only performed one date as the country was struck by a vigorous earthquake followed by a tsunami which resulted in the cancellation of their performances in Tokyo and Osaka.

The band wrapped up the tour with three small club in the United States in April. Jordison has since resumed his work with Slipknot, while Wednesday 13 and the remaining band members have resumed their own projects.
