Icon, pioneer, and Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee, Alice Cooper, is bringing his latest tour to Birmingham later this year.

Returning to the UK for the first time since 2022, The Too Close For Comfort tour brings fans closer than ever to Alice with giant video screens blending the live action with pre-recorded scenes to delve deeper into Alice’s world.

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).                          

Primal Scream, one of Britain’s best-loved rock bands, will join Alice in Birmingham. The Glasgow band have been on an odyssey, making jangly guitar pop to brash rock n roll, incorporating acid house and psychedelia into unique records and live experiences.  Frontman Bobby Gillespie cites Alice’s shocking appearances on 1970s Top of the Pops as a formative influence.

Alice Cooper plays Utilita Arena Birmingham on Wednesday 16 October. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 23 February here.
