Alice Cooper Announces ‘Too Close For Comfort’ UK Tour

Alice Cooper, the iconic rock legend and Rock And Roll Hall of Fame inductee, is renowned not just for his incredible career achievements but for putting on one of the greatest rock shows on earth.

This October, Alice Cooper is making a grand return to the UK, his first appearance since 2022, along with his critically acclaimed band. They’re set to rock arenas in Glasgow (14th), Birmingham (16th), Manchester (17th), Leeds (18th), and offering a more intimate experience at London’s Eventim Apollo (20th and 21st) for the first time in many years.

The “Too Close For Comfort” tour promises an unforgettable experience, bringing fans closer to Alice than ever before. Featuring giant video screens, the show merges live performances with cinematic scenes, inviting you into the depths of Alice’s universe.

Prepare for an extravaganza of spectacle – including snakes, guillotines, monsters, and more – taking the stage by storm every night. With timeless hits like “Under My Wheels,” “I’m Eighteen,” and “School’s Out,” alongside surprises from one of rock and roll’s most extensive repertoires, every show is unique.

Hot on the heels of his latest album, ‘Road,’ a narrative journey through the highs and lows of touring, Alice Cooper is back and better than ever. Accompanied by his stellar band – Ryan Roxie, Chuck Garric, Tommy Henrikson, Glen Sobel, and Nita Strauss – the tour showcases new material with the tight, dynamic performance that only this band can deliver.

Alice shares, “With ‘Road,’ I wanted to capture the essence of touring, both for us on stage and for the fans. It’s a celebration of our collective journey, and I’m thrilled to share it with you.”

Joining Alice on this adventure are Primal Scream, one of Britain’s most cherished rock bands, set to perform in all cities except London. Their diverse sound, from jangly guitar pop to brash rock and roll, has captivated fans for years. Alice’s historic performances have been a major influence on their journey.

In London, the legendary Sex Pistols guitarist Glen Matlock will grace the stage as Alice’s special guest, while the rising punk sensations The Meffs will support across all dates.
