By 2000, Danzig's lineup had stabilized with the addition of guitarist [[Todd Youth]] and bassist [[Howie Pyro]], both veterans of the New York City punk scene. In 2002, this lineup released the album ''Danzig 777: [[I Luciferi]]''. In 2004, Danzig released their eighth studio album, ''[[Circle of Snakes]]'', with the line up featuring [[Tommy Victor]] of [[Prong (band)|Prong]] on guitar, who had toured as a member of Danzig years earlier.

Soon after the album's release, Danzig undertook the Blackest of the Black tour across the US, replacing ''Circle of Snakes'' drummer Bevan Davies with [[Johnny Kelly]] (of [[Type O Negative]]).

Throughout 2006, Glenn Danzig stated in several interviews that he had grown tired of the touring cycle and did not expect to partake in any more large-scale tours. Instead, Danzig would go on small, localized tours, such as the 10 west coast dates they played for the 2006 Blackest of the Black tour. This tour debuted [[Kenny Hickey]] (of Type O Negative) as the band's new guitarist, while the East Coast dates saw the addition of former [[Samhain (band)|Samhain]] member, [[Steve Zing]] on bass.

In October 2006, Glenn Danzig released ''[[Black Aria II]]'', the follow-up to his solo classical album, ''[[Black Aria]]''. ''Black Aria'' was re-released by Evilive in May 2007. He spent the rest of the year completing the production and packaging of ''[[The Lost Tracks of Danzig]]'', a double CD containing 26 unreleased songs that span the entire Danzig catalog, which was released on July 10, 2007. Danzig has also stated that he plans to record a dark blues album with either [[Jerry Cantrell]] or [[Hank Williams III]].<ref name="ultimate-guitar.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/interviews/glenn_danzig_talks_20th_anniversary_tour_future_plans.html |title=Glenn Danzig Talks 20th Anniversary Tour, Future Plans &#124; News @ |publisher=Ultimate-guitar.com |access-date=July 20, 2011}}</ref>

In August 2008, Glenn Danzig announced that Danzig (the band) would do a 20th-anniversary tour, celebrating the release of their self-titled debut album. This was the band's first full US tour in three years, which also included stops in Canada and Mexico. Also asked in August 2008 if the ninth Danzig album was planned, Glenn Danzig replied:

On December 26, 2009, Danzig performed at the Starland Ballroom in New Jersey. The show was notable for featuring a special appearance by [[Michale Graves]] who, along with [[Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein|Doyle]] and [[Dr. Chud]], performed several songs by the [[Misfits (band)#1996–2000: Reformation and new lineup|reformed version of the Misfits]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crushermagazine.com/features1_10/featdanziglive.htm|title=DANZIG GORGEOUS FRANKENSTEIN WITH MICHALE GRAVES|last=Evans|first=Morgan|publisher=Crusher Magazine|access-date=January 31, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120220145350/http://www.crushermagazine.com/features1_10/featdanziglive.htm|archive-date=February 20, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2009, movie director [[Todd Phillips]] chose Danzig's song "Thirteen" to open his film ''[[The Hangover (film)|The Hangover]]''. Danzig later recorded a new song, "Black Hell", to appear in the 2011 sequel, ''[[The Hangover: Part II]]''.

In January 2011, Danzig was announced for the 2011 [[Download 2011|Download Festival]] at Donington Park, England, alongside bands including [[Rob Zombie]], [[Alice Cooper]], and [[System of a Down]]. On the first day of the festival, Danzig headlined the Pepsi Max stage. On June 12, 2011, Danzig played at the [[Nova Rock Festival]].

On October 25, 2011, a [[greatest hits]] album entitled ''The Essential Danzig'' was to be released through [[Sony BMG]].<ref>{{cite web |date=August 30, 2011 |title=Danzig to release 'The Essential Danzig' |work=Punknews.org |url=http://www.punknews.org/releasedetail/5276 |access-date=August 30, 2011 |archive-date=October 27, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111027181847/http://www.punknews.org/releasedetail/5276 |url-status=dead }}</ref> However, as of 2017, this has yet to happen, nor have details of the release been given.
