The Alice’s Attic trek kicks off Sept. 17 at Louder Than Life and wraps Nov. 21 in Reno, Nevada.

Alice Cooper has announced a fall 2026 North American leg of his Alice’s Attic tour, opening Sept. 17 at the Louder Than Life festival in Louisville, Kentucky, and running through Nov. 21 in Reno, Nevada. The newly added dates follow Cooper’s European summer run with the Hollywood Vampires and extend a touring cycle that began with last year’s co-headlining run alongside Judas Priest.

How the Fall Leg Fits Into a Busy 2026 Schedule

The fall run opens with three festival appearances before Cooper moves into proper headlining venues. After Louder Than Life, he plays the Big E Fair in West Springfield, Massachusetts, and the CityFolk Festival in Ottawa, Ontario, before the headlining stretch begins Sept. 22 in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

The tour follows Cooper’s European summer dates with the Hollywood Vampires, the supergroup featuring Joe Perry and Johnny Depp. Cooper will also conduct a brief U.K. book tour in October to promote his upcoming autobiography, Devil on My Shoulder, making the autumn stretch one of the busier periods of his year.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday.

What the Alice’s Attic Show Delivers

Cooper debuted the Alice’s Attic production during last year’s co-headlining run with Judas Priest, then carried it into additional solo headlining dates this spring. The show features his signature theatrical set pieces, including a massive Frankenstein prop and a mock beheading.

On the most recent run, Cooper added a cover of Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ to the set, a nod to the kind of cross-generational programming that has kept his live show relevant across decades.

The take

Alice Cooper has long operated on a touring cadence that would exhaust artists half his age, and the structure of this fall leg reflects a strategy he has refined over decades. Opening with festival slots at Louder Than Life and CityFolk before pivoting to theater and casino-resort headlining dates is a smart sequencing move: festivals generate broad exposure and press, while the mid-size theater circuit (Ruth Eckerd Hall, Altria Theater, Stifel Theatre) delivers the controlled, production-friendly environment that a show as prop-heavy as Alice’s Attic genuinely requires. Casino-resort venues like Fallsview, Tropicana, and Fantasy Springs have become a reliable anchor for legacy rock acts, offering guaranteed fees and built-in audiences that reduce the financial risk of touring at this scale. The Hollywood Vampires connection is worth noting as context, too. That supergroup has given Cooper a high-profile summer platform in Europe for several years running, and the pattern of segueing from Vampires dates into a solo North American run has become a familiar part of his annual rhythm. Layering in a U.K. book tour for Devil on My Shoulder during the same October window shows a level of career management that goes well beyond simply putting dates on a calendar. At this stage of a career that stretches back to the late 1960s, Cooper continues to treat touring as a craft rather than a legacy obligation.

Why it matters

For classic rock fans, a Cooper fall tour is a reliable annual event, but the Alice’s Attic production represents a genuine creative investment rather than a greatest-hits victory lap. The show’s theatrical ambition, combined with the cross-generational reach of covering Nirvana, signals that Cooper is still engaging with his audience on his own terms. The tour also demonstrates that the mid-size theater and casino-resort circuit remains a viable, sustainable model for legacy acts who want to deliver full production values without the overhead of arena touring.

What’s next

General public ticket sales open Friday. Cooper heads to Europe first for the Hollywood Vampires summer tour before returning to North America for the Sept. 17 Louder Than Life opener. The U.K. book tour supporting Devil on My Shoulder is scheduled for October, overlapping with the early weeks of the fall headlining run.
