Alice Cooper, Judas Priest to hit the road this fall

Alice Cooper returns to Houston this fall with Judas Priest.

Two legendary artists are hitting the road together this fall.

Alice Cooper and Judas Priest announced a co-headlining tour on Tuesday (April 15, 2025) that will see these two titans of rock and roll trek across the United States and even one show in Canada. The special guest act for this tour is Corrosion of Conformity.

The tour begins on Tuesday, Sept. 16, as summer winds down, in Biloxi, Mississippi. The tour will reach 22 cities in just under six weeks, including Virginia Beach, Va., Toronto, Ontario, Colorados Springs, Colo., Phoenix, Arizona, before concluding on Sunday, Oct. 26, at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, Texas, which is just north of Houston.

Tickets for The Woodlands, Texas performance go on sale at 10 a.m., Friday, April 18, at all Ticketmaster locations. A pre-sale begins on Wednesday, April 16, using the code “PAINSHIELD” for those interested.

Alice Cooper is a name that is synonymous with hard rock music and shock rock antics that have influenced countless artists for more than 50 years. He is best known for well-known songs such as “Welcome to My Nightmare,” “Billion Dollar Babies,” “Feed My Frankenstein,” “Poison” and many more.

Judas Priest emerged from England in the 1970s and their sounds helped define what many consider to be the textbook definition and look of heavy metal. For more than 50 years this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-quintet has influenced legions of fans and musicians on the strength of songs like “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’,” “Breaking the Law,” “Painkiller,” “Victim of Changes,” and countless others.
