Alice Cooper is not slowing down. The 77-year-old Rock & Roll Hall of Famer just announced a full slate of fall 2026 dates for his Alice's Attic tour, and it's a proper coast-to-coast run hitting theaters, casinos, and arenas from late October through late November.

The headline leg kicks off October 27 at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida and wraps up November 21 at the Grand Theatre at Grand Sierra Resort + Casino in Reno, Nevada. Before those headline dates, Cooper will make festival appearances at Louder Than Life in Louisville (September 17), The Big E Fair in West Springfield, MA (September 19), and CityFolk Festival in Ottawa (September 20), followed by a casino show in Niagara Falls on September 22.

The Production

If you caught any of Cooper's shows this spring or on last year's co-headline run with Judas Priest, you already know the Alice's Attic production is everything you'd want from a Cooper show. Giant Frankenstein monsters, mock beheadings, the whole theatrical nightmare. The tour takes its name from Cooper's syndicated radio show, which airs nightly in cities across the U.S., Germany, New Zealand, and Australia.

This fall leg is bringing the show to a bunch of new cities that didn't get it on previous runs. The mix of theaters, casinos, and open-air venues should give each night a different feel, and honestly, Cooper in a 2,000-seat theater is a completely different experience than a festival stage. Both are great, but the intimate rooms hit different.

New Guitarist Anna Cara Steps In

One of the bigger storylines around this tour cycle has been the addition of 23-year-old British guitarist Anna Cara, who's filling in for Nita Strauss while Strauss is on maternity leave. Cara hails from Newcastle, England and was actually handpicked by Strauss herself as her replacement.

The connection makes sense when you look at her background. Cara has been playing with Crossbone Skully, the project led by Cooper and Hollywood Vampires guitarist Tommy Henriksen, and she's also worked with Krokus singer Marc Storace's solo band. She started uploading guitar covers to Instagram and YouTube during lockdown in 2020, eventually building a following of over 50,000 people with her takes on Iron Maiden, Slipknot, Jimi Hendrix, and more. That caught Henriksen's attention, and he brought her into Crossbone Skully when she was just 19.

Cara made her live debut with Cooper at the special "Welcome To Our Nightmare" shows on April 2-4 in Las Vegas, a collaboration with illusionist Criss Angel at Planet Hollywood, and has been with the band for the full spring and European runs since. By all accounts, she's been killing it.

Cooper called her "a beautiful dynamic shredder in the vein of Nita but with a style of her own," and Strauss had no hesitation calling Cara the best up-and-coming guitarist when asked in an interview. Strauss has been with Cooper since 2014 and is expected to return after her maternity leave, though no timeline has been announced.

A Stacked 2026 for Cooper

I'll be real, Cooper's 2026 has been absolutely relentless. He kicked off the year with those "Welcome To Our Nightmare" shows alongside Criss Angel in Vegas, ran a full spring U.S. headline leg, then took the Alice's Attic production across Europe from June 13 through July 12, hitting major festivals like Hellfest, Graspop Metal Meeting, Copenhell, and Tons of Rock along the way. And he's got a Hollywood Vampires European run with Joe Perry and Johnny Depp scheduled for August and September before these fall dates even start.

At 77 years old, the man is doing more dates than artists half his age. He's been on the road since he was 16 and recently told the Rock & Roll High School podcast, "I think I'm doing my best shows now." Honestly, hard to argue with that.

He's also riding the momentum of last year's The Revenge of Alice Cooper, which dropped in July 2025 and reunited Cooper with original bandmates Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway, and Neal Smith for the first time since 1973's Muscle of Love. The album was produced by Bob Ezrin and featured singles like "Black Mamba" (with Robby Krieger of The Doors), "Wild Ones," and "Up All Night," plus a posthumous guitar appearance from Glen Buxton. That album gave Cooper some of his best material in years, and it's been fueling these live shows.

Don't Sleep on This

No support acts have been announced for the fall headline dates yet, but keep an eye on individual venue pages as those will likely get updated closer to the shows. For now, the focus is on Cooper's own set, and with the Alice's Attic production in full swing, that's more than enough reason to grab a ticket.

Tickets go on sale this Friday. Hit alicecooper.com/tour for the full list and don't wait. Theater shows at this level sell out fast.
