Hollywood Vampires

In the organizer's words:

ONLY DATE IN NRW

The Hollywood Vampires, one of the most prominent rock supergroups, will be going on tour again in summer 2026. In August, the band featuring Johnny Depp, Alice Cooper, Joe Perry (Aerosmith) and Tommy Henriksen (Crossbone Skully, guitarist Alice Cooper) will play the only date in NRW at the LANXESS arena.

The Hollywood Vampires last wowed audiences in Germany in 2023 with energetic live shows, as demonstrated by the 2023 concert recording "Live in Rio" (released by earMUSIC/Edel).

Since "Rise" from 2019, original compositions have also found their way into the varied live set, which is still peppered with some of the greatest rock classics such as "Heroes" (David Bowie), "Shool's Out" (Alice Cooper), "Walk This Way" (Aerosmith) and "Baba O' Riley" (The Who).
"In the beginning, we wanted to honor our hard-drinking friends who died in the seventies: Jimi Hendrix, John Bonham, Jim Morrison and all the others," revealed Alice Cooper in an interview. "That's why we put together a pub band in 2015." Hollywood Vampires was the name of a celebrity drinking club in Los Angeles that Cooper co-founded in the 1970s.

In 2015, the rock supergrouo released their first album "Hollywood Vampires", which also featured Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, Slash, Brian Johnson and Zak Starkey. Since then, the aforementioned long-players "Rise" (2019) and "Live in Rio" (2023) have been released.
