Alice Cooper and Judas Priest Co-Headlining Tour: A Metal Spectacle

Alice Cooper Judas Priest Tour Kicks Off with a Bang

On September 16, 2025, Alice Cooper and Judas Priest launched their highly anticipated co-headlining tour at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi. This electrifying collaboration marks a celebration of classic heavy metal with some of the genre’s most iconic figures sharing the stage. Support for this monumental tour comes from the hard-hitting band Corrosion of Conformity.

A Thrilling Set List from Alice Cooper

Fifty-plus years into his career, Alice Cooper never fails to surprise fans with his live music performances. The initial set included deep cuts and live debuts that left the audience in awe. Following his signature intro, “Hello, Hooray,” Cooper delivered hits alongside fan-favorite deep tracks like “Who Do You Think We Are” from his 1981 album Special Forces and “Spark in the Dark” from 1989’s Trash. Remarkably, these tracks had been left out of his performances for decades!

“Clones (We’re All)” made a rare appearance, last played in 2011.
“Caught in a Dream,” a classic from Love It to Death, returned for fan adoration after a 10-year hiatus.
Cooper even introduced the live debut of “Dangerous Tonight” from Hey Stoopid.

This innovative approach highlights why the Alice Cooper Judas Priest tour has become a must-see event for heavy metal enthusiasts.

Judas Priest’s Metal Gods Dominate the Night

In stark contrast, Judas Priest focused more on a straightforward approach with their set list, demonstrating why they are revered as the Metal Gods. Their 14-song performance prominently featured tracks from the seminal album Painkiller, playing fan favorites like “Between the Hammer & The Anvil” and the powerful title track “Painkiller.” Additionally, the band’s return of “Solar Angels” was a welcome surprise, as it had been absent from live shows for over two decades.

The Judas Priest set list was a perfect blend of classic hits and newer tracks, maintaining the energy throughout the show:

“Breaking the Law”
“You’ve Got Another Thing Comin'”
Invincible Shield cuts “Gates of Hell” and “Giants in the Sky”

The synergy between Alice Cooper and Judas Priest in this co-headlining tour promises a captivating experience for fans old and new.

Recent New Music Releases Keep the Momentum Alive

In addition to their phenomenal performances, both artists have been busy in the studio. Alice Cooper’s original group released a brand-new album titled The Revenge of Alice Cooper in July, marking their first album since 1973. Meanwhile, Judas Priest has teased fans with a new cover of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs,” featuring a collaboration with Ozzy Osbourne—an exciting project frontman Rob Halford described as a “colossal” version that showcases a duet with the legendary vocalist.
