Veteran shock-rocker Alice Cooper has announced his first UK tour in five years.
He’ll play five shows in November 2017 in a triple-bill with The Mission and The Tubes.
Those shows follow a run of North American dates which kick off in April, then a handful of European appearances over the summer.
Cooper recently reported that he was writing new music with the surviving members of the original Alice Cooper band, Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway and Neal Smith – but he wasn’t certain whether they’d appear on his next album.
The frontman said: “We’re recording demos right now. We have three songs from the original band that we’re going to see if we can turn into something.
“If not, we tried. But Neal, Mike, Dennis and I wrote songs together. We know the best 10 songs are going to make the album. It doesn’t matter where they came from.”
No release date for the title, to be recorded with classic-era producer Bob Ezrin, has yet been confirmed.
UK tickets go on general sale at 9am on December 16 (Friday) with a fan pre-sale at 9am tomorrow. Also on offer are pre-show and VIP packages.
