Alice Cooper announces two exclusive UK shows for 2025, his only performances in Scotland and Wales this year.

Icon, pioneer, and Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee - Alice Cooper is simply one of the greatest rock shows on the planet. Last year, Alice and his incredible band returned to the UK for the first time since 2022.

“With this evergreen satire on the ego-crazed quest for power, this unwaveringly popular heavy rocker hit the bull’s-eye again.” - Daily Telegraph

“This theatrical rock show, full of classic hits and elaborate stage antics reinforced why Alice Cooper remains a beloved live act five decades on – his ability to transport fans back to rock’s glory days while delivering a thoroughly entertaining and theatrical performance is second to none. Catch it while you can.” - Louder Than War

“No one comes to a Cooper show and leaves disappointed.” - Metal Express

In July 2025, Alice will now bring fans in Cardiff (Tue 22 July - Cardiff Utilita Arena) and Edinburgh (Weds 23 July - Edinburgh Playhouse) closer than ever to the show, with giant video screens blending the live action with pre-recorded scenes to delve deeper into Alice’s world. The Edinburgh date marks Alice’s return to the celebrated venue after more than 20 years.

"Cardiff and Edinburgh - you can't escape! We missed you last year, but now we're coming back. Alice would never let you down. Can't wait to see all the Sick Things at our shows at Utilita Arena in Cardiff on July 22nd and the Edinburgh Playhouse on July 23rd." - Alice Cooper

Expect spectacle - snakes, guillotines, monsters and more - wreaking havoc on stage nightly. Classics like “Under My Wheels,” “I’m Eighteen,” “Schools Out,” “Poison,” “Billion Dollar Babies,” and “No More Mr Nice Guy” are staples and there are surprises every night, effortlessly drawn from one the greatest catalogues in rock and roll.

Fresh from the success of his latest album ‘Road,’ a concept album about the thrills and spills of touring, Alice is back, accompanied as always by his long-running live band of Ryan Roxie (guitar), Chuck Garric (bass), Tommy Henrikson (guitar), Glen Sobel (drums), and Nita Strauss (guitar).

“For ‘Road’, I wanted the band to be involved in the foundation of all the songs,” says Alice. “I only see these guys when we’re on the road. So, I wanted them to be as tight as they are for the show but on all new material. When you have a band this good, I believe in showing it off, and this is my way of doing so.”
