Alice Cooper « Devil on My Shoulder Book Tour »

Alice Cooper brings his Devil on My Shoulder Book Tour to the Globe Theatre in Stockton-on-Tees on 17 October 2026. Born Vincent Furnier in Detroit, he first made his name with the Alice Cooper band at the turn of the 1970s, fusing hard rock, glam flourishes and a taste for theatre. From Love It to Death and Killer to School’s Out, then the solo leap with Welcome to My Nightmare, he built a way of telling stories through riffs, characters and staging, with that grainy, instantly identifiable voice at the center.

On this date, Cooper shifts from pyrotechnics to conversation, tracing the path from The Spiders’ garage roots in Phoenix to the solo persona that carried albums like Billion Dollar Babies, Trash, The Last Temptation and Detroit Stories. He looks back at how the shock imagery, the narrative interludes and the ballads fit together, and how the name “Alice Cooper” moved from band identity to singular character. It’s a guided tour of the songs and the stagecraft behind them, delivered by the person who lived it, with the dry humor and precision that have long driven his work.
