"Headline: Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp & Joe Perry Revive Hollywood Vampires for 2026 European Invasion"
(Artist Report)
Written by: Cody Denning
The Hollywood Vampires, the acclaimed rock supergroup comprising shock-rock pioneer Alice Cooper, Aerosmith guitar legend Joe Perry, versatile guitarist and producer Tommy Henriksen, and actor-musician Johnny Depp, have officially announced their return to the stage with a major UK and European tour in summer 2026.
Formed in 2015 as a tribute to the original 1970s Hollywood Vampires drinking club—whose members included icons such as John Lennon, Keith Moon, and Harry Nilsson—the band emerged from informal jam sessions honoring rock’s rebellious heritage. It quickly evolved into a dynamic live act, fusing original material with powerful covers and high-octane performances that celebrate the genre’s golden era.
The members bring unparalleled pedigrees, Alice Cooper revolutionized rock theater with his groundbreaking shows and enduring catalog of hits, Joe Perry has been a cornerstone of Aerosmith’s iconic sound for over five decades, Johnny Depp contributes his distinctive guitar work and stage presence drawn from a celebrated acting career, and Tommy Henriksen provides essential musicianship and production insight that has solidified the group’s lineup.
Their most recent major tour run in 2023 delivered memorable performances across North America, earning widespread praise for its energy, musicianship, and the genuine camaraderie among these rock veterans.
Following nearly three years off the road, the Hollywood Vampires will launch their 2026 European trek in August, beginning with a series of high-profile UK dates and additional stops before extending into mainland Europe with shows in Germany, France (including Paris at Adidas Arena on Aug 26), Italy, and more through early September.
