Shock rock legend Alice Cooper has announced a six date arena tour on our shores this coming October.

The Too Close For Comfort Tour promises to bring fans “closer than ever” to Alice using giant video screens to blend the on stage antics with pre-recorded scenes and delve deeper into his world of horror. Starting in Glasgow, Alice then plays Birmingham, Manchester, and Leeds, before finishing with two nights in London.

Tickets go on sale from Absolute Radio Tickets from 10am on Friday 23rd February

The tour - his first since 2022 - will give UK fans the chance to hear songs from across Alice’s massive back catalogue, from classics like ‘Billion Dollar Babies’, ‘School’s Out’ and ‘Poison’ right through to his feted 2023 album ‘Road’, all accompanied by the usual guillotines, snakes, monsters and more.

Backing Alice are his long-running live band of Ryan Roxie (guitar), Chuck Garric (bass), Tommy Henrikson (guitar), Glen Sobel (drums), and Nita Strauss (guitar). We're not worthy!

Alice Cooper UK Tour Support Acts

Support on all dates except London comes from Glaswegian rock icons Primal Scream, with support on the London dates from former Sex Pistol guitarist Glen Matlock. Up-and-coming punks The Meffs also support on all dates.
