Judas Priest and Alice Cooper Announce Co-Headlining Tour: Check Out the Dates!
Judas Priest and Alice Cooper Unite for a Rock Spectacle: Legendary Co-Headlining Tour Announced for Fall 2023
In a thrilling announcement that is sure to send ripples through the hard rock community, metal titans Judas Priest and shock rock godfather Alice Cooper are set to embark on a monumental co-headlining tour this fall, visiting 22 cities across North America. This tour promises to be an unforgettable showcase as two of rock’s most iconic figures hit the road together for the first time in ages.
Kicking off on September 16th at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, the tour will stretch across the U.S. and Canada, culminating on October 26th at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Houston. Music enthusiasts can look forward to seeing both legends perform their greatest hits, along with some surprises that the seasoned fans have come to expect from each artist. Joining the pair on the trek will be the influential hard rock band Corrosion of Conformity, although they will be absent from the show in Alpharetta, GA, on September 18th.
Tickets for this rock extravaganza go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. local time, with an artist presale kicking off earlier on Wednesday. Don’t miss your chance to see these titans of rock live – it’s a tour that is poised to be one for the ages.
This announcement follows a poignant moment in the Judas Priest story. Just days ago, the metal community mourned the passing of former drummer Les Binks, who lent his thunderous beats to the band during some of their most formative years. Binks, who drummed on classics such as Stained Class and Killing Machine, was integral to the Priest sound and was honored with an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alongside the band in 2022.
In support of their latest works, Judas Priest returns to the stage following the release of their 19th studio album, Invincible Shield, which dropped last spring to praise from critics and fans alike. Meanwhile, Alice Cooper is on the heels of his own 2023 album, Road, and will be warming up for the tour with his solo headlining Too Close for Comfort Tour throughout the summer.
As the concert industry continues to revitalize post-pandemic, the pairing of Priest and Cooper is sure to attract old fans and new, bringing the timeless energy of rock music back to iconic venues across North America. Both artists embody the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll, serving up heavy riffs, theatrical visuals, and an atmosphere that will leave audiences electrified.
