Gods of rock share a mighty bill
Hard rock legends Alice Cooper and Judas Priest team up for a massive co-headline tour of North America this year! Joined by support act Corrosion of Conformity, the icons kick off in Biloxi, Mississippi in September, running through to October 26th in Houston, TX. A rock-godly pairing, don't miss this chance to see two of the greatest on one stacked bill!
No one defined shock rock like Alice Cooper. Cooper used violent (and vile) theatrics - simulated executions, the chopping up of baby dolls, and draping himself with a live boa constrictor - and explicit lyrics to become a controversial yet hugely popular figure in the early-and-mid 1970s. He's mellowed a bit since then, becoming somewhat of an elder statesman of the rock world, with an enviable back catalog of hits including 'School's Out', 'Elected', No Mr. Nice Guy' and I'm Eighteen'.
Having rocketed to superstar status with the release of 1982's Screaming for Vengeance - which to this date remains the band's most successful album - the band are also noted for spawning the macho metal/biker look that is now commonplace for metal bands. And if anybody was in any doubt as to the depth of their status, in 2010, Priest were rated by MTV as the second "Greatest Metal Band" of all time after Black Sabbath. In 2022 Judas Priest were inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, solidifying the band's status as one of the greatest in history.
