Alice Cooper « Devil on My Shoulder Book Tour »

Alice Cooper brings his Devil on My Shoulder Book Tour to the Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow on 19 October 2026. Known for fusing hard rock, glam touches and theatre, he takes a step back from the guillotines and smoke to talk about how the character “Alice” was built, from Detroit beginnings and the first band years to the solo era that pushed his shows into narrative territory.

Across readings and conversation drawn from his new book, Cooper digs into the craft behind the spectacle: early psychedelic detours, the punch of School’s Out and Killer, the storytelling of Welcome to My Nightmare, and the way horror cinema and cabaret informed his stage language. He traces the shifts in sound over the decades, from classic hard rock to heavier inflections, and the discipline it takes to keep a voice and a persona on the road.

This is a chance to hear the stories usually hidden behind riffs and stage effects: studio sessions, touring life, collaborations and the choices that turned songs into scenes. An evening with Alice Cooper in person, focused on words, memory and the mechanics of a career that still feeds on theatre as much as volume.
