Alice Cooper’s shows not only rock, they have astounded, shocked and even terrified those in the front row… however, Alice Cooper’s Theatre of Death Tour, which comes to 10 UK cities in November and December, is set to surpass all previous spectaculars.

Featuring many of Cooper’s massive hits including School’s Out and Poison plus newer material from his 2008 "Along Came A Spider" album, “Alice Cooper’s Theatre of Death” is a very different show than any that has gone before. Always expect the unexpected from the unpredictable Alice Cooper…

This time the King of Shock Rock has specifically chosen to stage this more visual UK tour, in smaller more theatrical venues for the first time in many years, in order to offer fans a closer look at the gruesome action.

Of his latest tour, Alice says, "I ALWAYS prefer to play theatres because it makes the theatrics of our show so much more intense.  

RELEASED 28TH JULY

Cat no. CD – 90602

2xLP Gatefold - 90601

A dark and menacing album for dark and menacing times’ is perhaps the most fitting description for Alice’s 25th studio album, released through SPV on 28th July.

A chilling, conceptual thread runs through the songs, which are told through the voice of a serial killer named Spider. Alice Cooper, the master storyteller, weaves a web of danger, intrigue and death that rivals his best work.

Co-produced by Danny Saber, Greg Hampton and Alice himself, ‘Along Came A Spider’ manages to marry both vintage and modern day Alice. As theatrical as ever, the album has got hard rock with hooks and classic balladry, always with an overtone of evil - an instantly recognizable presence that will be welcomed by his fans.   

Danny Saber, formerly of Black Grape, has also worked with Ozzy Osbourne & David Bowie, while Greg Hampton's been working on a new album project teaming up Buckethead and Bootsy Collins.

Joining Alice on the album are members of his touring band - long-time Alice drummer Eric Singer, bassist Chuck Garric, guitarists Keri Kelli and Jason Hook, while Slash contributes guitar style to "Vengeance Is Mine."

Alice will also be bringing his Psycho-Drama show to Southampton Guildhall on 25th July. This one-off show follows his appearance at Motor Show Music Festival, ExCel Arena on 24th July.

There are only a handful of rock artists that have proven to be as enduring and influential as Alice Cooper has over the years. Name just about any hard rock artist, and they’ve probably borrowed a thing or two from Alice. But who else but Alice would create a "love story" about a serial killer named Spider, whose trademark is wrapping his victims in silk, and his victims are specifically chosen to feed his hunger to kill.   However, on meeting his (possibly) last victim, he falls in love with her and cannot kill to complete his plan, which could be his demise.

Before such theatrical rockers as David Bowie, the New York Dolls, Kiss, Slipknot, Rob Zombie, and Marilyn Manson, there was Alice Cooper.   The original Alice Cooper group quickly became despised by adults and authority figures, while being idolized by teens and rock fans everywhere, on the strength of a succession of all-time classic albums  ('Love It to Death,’ ‘Killer,’ ‘School’s Out,’ ‘Billion Dollar Babies,’ etc.) and anthems (“I’m Eighteen,” “Under My Wheels,” “School’s Out,” "Elected," “No More Mr. Nice Guy,” etc.).   Alice had continued success as a solo artist, releasing successful albums like ‘Welcome To My Nightmare' and ‘Trash,’ featuring classic hits such as "Only Women Bleed," "I Never Cry," and "Poison."   All one has to do is look at the many other artists that have covered Alice to understand how far reaching his influence is – the list is endless -- or just keep in mind that Johnny Rotten auditioned for the Sex Pistols to the tune of "I'm Eighteen.

Alice Cooper brings his Psycho-Drama to Southampton

Rock legend Alice Cooper is bringing his full Psycho-Drama arena show to the Southampton Guildhall on 25th July for a rare small-venue performance. Alice will be performing tracks from across his career, which spans 4 decades and more than 30 albums.

Alice Cooper is one of the most greatest rock musicians of all time. He has influenced countless generations of performers from Kiss to Marilyn Manson. Bob Dylan has described him as, “an overlooked songwriter”, and Sex Pistols’ Johnny Rotten declared Alice’s album War as, “the greatest rock album of the time.”

In addition to his numerous studio albums and live concert recordings, Alice has also appeared in a number of feature films, including Nightmare on Elm Street and Wayne’s World.

Alice is currently finishing work on his new album “Along Came A Spider”, a conceptual work about a serial killer know as Spider, which will be released later this year.

Alice Cooper, the original shock rocker, has entertained, surprised and disturbed audiences for over 30 years, fusing Detroit glam metal with theatrical performances. 

With over 30 albums-worth of material to draw from, these shows promise classic Cooper at his menacing best. 

Of the tour Cooper said, "Having toured with both Motörhead and Joan Jett before, and had a great time, we're really looking forward to an all-out high energy show every night.   They just don't do tours like this anymore, but we're going to do it.   This is like a 'No Mercy' tour, we're not showing any mercy to anyone."

Joan says, "I am looking forward to returning to England, where my post Runaways solo career started, and where I have unfortunately not performed for a very long time. Alice and Lemmy are singularly unique and talented artists, who I count amongst my friends. Lemmy, in fact, was one of the very few people to help me when I started recording and touring in England, long ago."

Tickets for all regional shows are £32.50 and for London £33.50 (all subject to booking fee).  Online www.livenation.co.uk, credit card bookings 0870 400 0688 (24hrs).  The show starts at 7pm and door times will be approx one hour before performance.
