SARATOGA SPRINGS — The legendary Alice Cooper, along with heavy metal trailblazers Judas Priest will share the stage for a co-headlining tour across North America.
Produced by Live Nation, the 22-city run includes a stop at Broadview Stage at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, on Saturday, Sept. 27.
Alice Cooper wraps up his “Too Close for Comfort” tour in late August, promoting his most recent “Road” album.
Alice will have an as-yet-unnamed all-new show for the fall tour, which kicks off Sept. 16 in Biloxi, Mississippi.
The Alice Cooper Group formed in the late 1960’s and consisted of Vincent Furnier, Glen Buxton, Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway, and Neal Smith. Through the early ‘70s the band delivered a string of highly acclaimed and successful albums – “Love It to Death,” “Killer,” “School’s Out,” and “Billion Dollar Babies,” among them.
Adopting the stage name Alice Cooper, Furnier has experienced a successful career as a solo artist following the original band’s split in 1974.
Judas Priest, coming off the second leg of their “Invincible Shield” Tour will co-headline the show.
