With his latest solo album, Road, Cooper’s music and legendary stage presence will leave you spellbound. Enjoy classics like “School’s Out,” “Poison,” and “No More Mr. Nice Guy” as you witness the master of shock-rock in action. Tickets start at $39.

Alice Cooper pioneered a grandly theatrical brand of hard rock designed to shock. Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood, and boa constrictors. Cooper regularly tours, performing shows worldwide with the dark and horror-themed theatrics he’s best known for.

With a schedule that has included six months year in and year out on the road, Alice Cooper brings his own brand of rock psycho-drama to fans both old and new, enjoying it as much as the audience does. Known as the architect of shock-rock, Cooper (in both the original Alice Cooper band and as a solo artist) has rattled the cages and undermined the authority of generations of guardians of the status quo, continuing to surprise fans and exude danger at every turn.

With his influence on rock & roll and popular culture long since acknowledged, there is little that Alice Cooper hasn’t achieved in his remarkable career, including platinum albums, sold-out tours, and any number of honors and career achievement awards.
