On The Table Read Magazine, “the best arts and entertainment magazine UK“, rock supergroup Hollywood Vampires—featuring Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, Joe Perry, and Tommy Henriksen—are roaring back with their first live shows in nearly three years.
The rock supergroup Hollywood Vampires has just dropped exciting news for fans: they’re hitting the road again with their first live shows in nearly three years. Announced today (January 16, 2026), the band—comprising rock icon Alice Cooper, Aerosmith guitar legend Joe Perry, Hollywood star Johnny Depp, and longtime collaborator Tommy Henriksen—will embark on a major UK and European tour this summer.
The announcement came directly from the band’s official channels, including their website and social media, where they shared: “After almost three years away, we’re finally coming back to tour the UK and Europe!! ” They teased high-energy nights, massive crowds, and unforgettable performances, building anticipation among longtime followers.


The Origins and Legacy of Hollywood Vampires
The band’s name pays homage to a legendary 1970s drinking club on the Sunset Strip, founded by Alice Cooper. It included rock heavyweights like John Lennon, Keith Moon (of The Who), Harry Nilsson, and Micky Dolenz (of The Monkees). The modern incarnation formed in 2015 as a tribute to those lost friends and the era’s wild spirit, blending classic rock covers with original material.
Since their debut, Hollywood Vampires have released two studio albums—Hollywood Vampires (2015) and Rise (2019)—and delivered explosive live shows worldwide. Their sets often feature electrifying renditions of tracks from The Who, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and more, alongside their own songs and Alice Cooper classics. The group’s chemistry—fueled by Cooper’s theatrical flair, Perry’s searing guitar work, Depp’s rhythm guitar and vocals, and Henriksen’s multi-instrumental prowess—has made them a must-see act.
Their last major tour activity wrapped up around 2023, including arena dates in the UK (such as Manchester), before a hiatus that left fans eager for their return.


The 2026 Tour Details
Kicking off in August 2026, the run focuses on the UK initially before heading to continental Europe. Special guests in the UK include alt-rock pioneers The Jesus and Mary Chain and punk legends The Damned, promising stacked bills full of rock history.
