Alice Cooper with Very Special Guest Ace Frehley

The Architect of Shock-Rock Returns, With Very Special Guest Ace Frehley!

Announcing Alice Cooper’s National Tour this October - celebrating
the 40th Anniversary of his first Australian tour!

It was March 1977 when Alice Cooper, the architect of shock-rock, undertook his first ever concert tour of Australia – and broke attendance records. 40 years on and this revered entertainer continues to surprise and exude danger at every turn, thrilling audiences globally!

Fans will be delighted to hear that Alice Cooper will return to our shores this October for a 7-date national tour, ‘Spend The Night With Alice Cooper’. In what is sure to be rock event of the year, Alice will be joined by the original KISS “Spaceman” Ace Frehley, as Very Special Guest. The pairing of Alice and Ace brings together these highly respected icons of rock and roll!

Alice Cooper pioneered a grandly theatrical brand of hard rock that was designed to shock. Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood and boa constrictors. He continues to tour regularly, performing shows worldwide with the dark and horror-themed theatrics that he’s best known for.

Alice’s catalogue of hits and anthems, including “I’m Eighteen”, “No More Mr Nice Guy”, “School’s Out”, “Elected”, “Poison”, and others, are featured in his live show, along with a mix of newer songs and fan-favourite album cuts.

In Australia Alice Cooper has topped the charts with songs like “Department of Youth”, “You and Me”, “Poison”, “School’s Out”, “Clones”, “How You Gonna See Me Now”, “Welcome To My Nightmare”, “Only Women Bleed” – a universally treasured song celebrating women’s rights and anti-domestic violence – “Billion Dollar Babies”, “No More Mr Nice Guy” and so many more. The album “Welcome To My Nightmare” spent 101 weeks in the Australian charts!

Ace Frehley is a founding member of KISS, a musical maverick and iconoclast adored by millions of fans around the world. Ace played on the classic KISS albums from 1983 to 1992 before reuniting with the band from 1996 to 2001. Ace was responsible for many of the band’s biggest hits including “Talk To Me”, “New York Groove”, “2,000 Man”, “Rocket Ride”, “Shock Me” and more. Like Alice, Ace is also a Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame inductee, and has influenced hundreds of bands and inspired guitar players of the ilk of Tom Morello and Dave Grohl.

Ace says, "I have been friends with Alice since the 70s, but I've never had the pleasure of touring with him! Our tour of Australia in October this year will be a major Rock & Roll event down under and leave all our fans with big smiles and wanting more!!! I can't wait to hit the road!"

Ace Frehley will perform a 60 minute set of hits from his career in and out of KISS - and of course, he’ll be bringing the smoking guitar!
