Alice Cooper Joined By Arthur Brown and New York Dolls For Night of Fear Tour

Alice Cooper has announced that he’ll be joined by ‘God of Hellfire’ Arthur Brown, following last year’s successful reclamation of London’s Halloween celebrations with his two Camden Roundhouse dates.
With new album ‘Welcome 2 My Nightmare’ on the way, Alice and his loyal fans, friends and assorted freaks will be descending on the capital's Alexandra Palace on 29th October to entertain and shock the nation. There will also be gigs in Sheffield, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester and Bristol.
But this year, in an attempt to better last year’s outstanding gigs, Alice has invited the incredible and ‘crazy’ Arthur Brown. The first man to set his head on fire in the name of rock n roll, Arthur and his band ‘The Crazy World of Arthur Brown’ were to the 1960s what Alice was to the 1970s – the realization of a whole new possibility in music, the chance to bring theatre, shock and awe into the live performance. His 1968 Number 1 ‘Fire’ and its proclamation “I am the god of hellfire and I bring you FIRE!’ had a massive influence on Alice and a generation.
“We have a fire theme this year and we’re in the UK - I couldn’t NOT invite Arthur Brown,” Alice admitted. “This is a guy who set his head on fire on TV. Can you imagine the young Alice Cooper watching that with all his make-up and hellish performance? It was like all my Halloweens come at once! He was like Screaming Jay Hawkins on….Fire!”
Also added to some of the tour dates are New York Dolls, who’ll join Alice and Arthur on their Birmingham, Glasgow, London and Bristol dates to help shock audiences up and down Britain.
