The original Alice Cooper group have announced an exclusive live event at London’s Union Chapel.
Alice Cooper (vocals), Michael Bruce (guitar), Dennis Dunaway (bass) and Neal Smith (drums) will attend the London event on Thursday 24th July 2025, a day before their first studio album in over 52 years, ‘The Revenge of Alice Cooper’, is unleashed to the world.
Presented by earMUSIC in cooperation with Rough Trade, the intimate evening will be hosted by legendary English songwriter Sir Tim Rice and is limited to just 900 fans.
The night will boast a first-listen album playback, a deep-dive interview with the band, and a rare audience Q&A.
Tickets costing £27.50 go on sale at 10am on Wednesday 11th June from Rough Trade’s official website.
The schedule is as follows:
– 18:00 Doors Open
– 19:00 Album Listening Session
– 20:00 The Original Alice Cooper Group Q&A with Sir Tim Rice
For those who miss out on tickets, the event will be live streamed globally via the earMUSIC and Alice Cooper YouTube channels, as well as TalkShopLive.
Alice Cooper also plays a co-headline solo concert with Judas Priest at London’s The O2 on Friday 25th July, the same day The Revenge of Alice Cooper’ is released.
The Alice Cooper band released seven studio albums between 1969 to 1973, including the blockbuster international smashes ‘School’s Out’ and ‘Billion Dollar Babies’, before Alice Cooper went on to launch a storied solo career.
Released 52 years after their last album ‘Muscle of Love’, ‘The Revenge of Alice Cooper’ is dedicated to founding lead guitarist Glen Buxton, who died in 1997. Buxton also makes a posthumous appearance on the record thanks to a song incorporating an old demo.
Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway and Neal Smith guest performed on three tracks on Alice Cooper’s 2017 solo album ‘Paranormal’. They also shared the stage together in Nashville, Tennessee in May of that year.
