Alice Cooper Hollywood Vampires: Legendary Stars Set to Ignite Global Tour — Official Dates Revealed
June 7, 2025
Fans of rock and roll, rejoice: the world’s most star-studded supergroup, the Hollywood Vampires, is officially hitting the road again. Led by the inimitable Alice Cooper, the band has just announced dates for its long-anticipated 2025 Global Tour, promising an electrifying series of performances across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond.
The group—comprised of Cooper, Johnny Depp, Joe Perry of Aerosmith fame, and Tommy Henriksen—has built a formidable reputation for its hard-hitting, theatrical shows and all-star energy. With this latest announcement, they are poised to reignite the spirit of rock and roll on stages worldwide.
“The Vampires are coming for you,” Cooper declared at the official press event in Los Angeles. “We’re pulling out all the stops for this tour—bigger sets, new songs, some surprises. We want fans everywhere to remember why rock is eternal.”
A Band Steeped in Rock History
The Hollywood Vampires originally formed in 2012, inspired by a legendary drinking club Cooper belonged to in the 1970s, which included icons like John Lennon, Keith Moon, and Ringo Starr. The band quickly evolved into a full-blown musical powerhouse dedicated to celebrating the spirit of rock’s golden era.
In the years since, they’ve released two studio albums and become a live sensation, blending original material with raucous covers of rock anthems. Their performances are as much a celebration of rock history as they are a showcase of modern showmanship.
Johnny Depp, better known for his acting, has proven to be a capable guitarist and charismatic presence on stage. Joe Perry brings his signature swagger and guitar mastery, while Cooper remains one of rock’s most magnetic frontmen, still commanding the stage with theatrical flair.
“Playing with these guys is like living a dream,” said Depp. “We get to honor the legends we loved, but also make music that’s fresh and exciting. It’s pure rock and roll.”
The Tour: What We Know
The newly announced tour will kick off on September 5, 2025, in Los Angeles, with the first leg covering major U.S. cities including:
New York City (Madison Square Garden) — September 15

Following the North American shows, the Vampires will head to Europe, performing in London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Milan through November. Dates for Asia and South America are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, with strong speculation of shows in Tokyo, Seoul, and São Paulo.
Pre-sale tickets will be available starting June 12, with general sales opening on June 14. VIP packages offering meet-and-greet opportunities, exclusive merchandise, and early access are also expected to be in high demand.
What to Expect
Each Hollywood Vampires concert is more than a gig—it’s a spectacle. Past shows have featured towering gothic sets, elaborate light displays, and dramatic storytelling through music.
The band’s setlist typically includes:
Original hits like “Raise the Dead”, “My Dead Drunk Friends”, and “Who’s Laughing Now”
Covers of classics from The Doors, The Who, David Bowie, and Led Zeppelin
Surprise guest appearances—rumored collaborators have included Paul McCartney, Slash, and Brian May.
For this tour, the band promises a revamped production. “We’ve got new visuals, new arrangements, and a few tricks up our sleeves,” teased Joe Perry. “It’s going to be a night fans won’t forget.”
A Tour With Heart
Beyond the music, the tour will also support charitable causes. A portion of the proceeds will go to MusiCares, the charity arm of the Recording Academy, which provides critical assistance to musicians in need.
Alice Cooper, who runs his own charity for at-risk youth in Arizona, emphasized the importance of giving back:
“We’re here because of the fans and the music. It’s only right to help those who keep this industry alive behind the scenes.”
Rock’s Timeless Appeal
The Hollywood Vampires’ enduring appeal lies in their unique blend of nostalgia and vitality. In an era dominated by pop and hip-hop, they prove that classic rock still commands a massive global audience.
Music journalist Lisa Reynolds remarked, “What makes the Vampires special is the chemistry—these guys aren’t just stars, they’re friends who love playing music together. That joy comes through every night.”
Fans React
Unsurprisingly, news of the tour has sparked a frenzy online.
“The Vampires saved rock and roll for me!” tweeted one fan.
“Booked my London ticket the second it dropped. Alice Cooper is the king!” wrote another.
“Johnny Depp on guitar is my favorite surprise of the last decade!” exclaimed another fan.
With venues expected to sell out quickly, anticipation is sky-high.
Final Thoughts
As the Hollywood Vampires prepare to unleash their latest tour, they stand as a testament to rock’s enduring power—and to the timeless magic that happens when legendary talents come together in the name of music.
As Alice Cooper put it:
“We may be called Vampires, but this tour is about life—about keeping this music alive and giving fans a night they’ll never forget. We’ll see you on the road.”
