Judas Priest and Alice Cooper Unite for a Co-Headlining Fall Tour

Posted on by

This fall, shock rock legend Alice Cooper and heavy metal trailblazers Judas Priest will share the stage for an epic co-headlining tour across North America. Produced by Live Nation, the 22-city run kicks off September 16 at Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, MS, and stops in Toronto, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and more before wrapping October 26 at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, TX. Coming off the second leg of their Invincible Shield Tour and the release of their celebrated 19th studio album, Judas Priest remains a dominant force in metal. Meanwhile, Alice Cooper, the godfather of theatrical rock, wraps up his “Too Close For Comfort” tour this summer, promoting his most recent “Road” album, and will have an as-yet-unnamed all-new show for this tour. Corrosion of Conformity will join as support on select dates. Tickets will be available starting Wednesday, April 16 at 10AM local time with Artist Presales. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning Friday, April 18 at 10AM local time at the link below!Continue reading →

ALBUM REVIEW: Dream Theater – Parasomnia

Posted on by
