"Tonight the Stars Revolt!" is the second album by Boston heavy metal band Powerman 5000. It was released on July 20, 1999. This album is known for spawning such hits as "Supernova Goes Pop", "Nobody's Real" and "When Worlds Collide".

"Tonight the Stars Revolt!" can be loosely considered a concept album. Although it doesn't tell a specific story, the songs have a cohesive theme, primarily oriented around campy science fiction reminiscent of the 1950s, coupled with nihilistic, apocalyptic messages and paranoid cyberpunk imagery. Music critics and fans alike compare PM5K frontman Spider's fixation on bygone science fiction with older brother Rob Zombie's obsession with B-movie horror themes. Both seem to share an affection for campy entertainment that influence their musical output, though Spider has since abandoned science fiction as the inspiration for Powerman 5000's sound and image.
