Horror rockers scare up a tour – Zombie, Cooper will haunt Rexall on April 28
The “gruesome twosome,” a.k.a. Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper, promise to rattle cages in Edmonton this spring with their ghoulish night of horror and hard rock.
Their all-ages concert happens Wednesday, April 28 at Rexall Place. Tickets range from $45 to $59.50 plus service charges at all Ticketmaster outlets. They go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.
Zombie and Cooper are travelling across North America with their Gruesome Twosome Tour, something they’ve been talking about for 15 years. Cooper calls the show Dracula vs. Frankenstein; Zombie says the dream/nightmare is finally coming true.
Zombie, who founded the heavy metal band White Zombie, is touring with his latest album, Hellybilly Deluxe 2. The record recently debuted in position eight on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart.
Zombie is also known as a horror film director, with credits including The Devil’s Rejects (2005), the 2007 remake of Halloween and its 2009 sequel.
Cooper is an American rock icon whose career spans more than four decades. His musical and famously gory performance innovations have earned him the status of legend and pioneer. Cooper’s most recent solo album, Along Came a Spider, was released in 2008, and the singer will be performing the Theatre of Death Tour show from that album.
Both Zombie and Cooper have been nominated for several Grammy Awards.
