The American rock supergroup Hollywood Vampires — featuring Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen — have officially announced a UK headline tour for August 2026, marking their first full run of live dates in the region in nearly three years. The band’s return to the stage has already generated significant buzz among fans across the UK and Europe.
Hollywood Vampires will kick off their highly anticipated UK tour on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 at The O2 in London, bringing their unique brand of rock and roll energy to fans after a prolonged absence from touring. From there, the group will travel to iconic outdoor and arena venues, concluding the run on Saturday, August 22 at Halifax’s Piece Hall.
Confirmed UK tour dates and locations:
- Aug. 12 — The O2, London (with The Jesus and Mary Chain)

The tour features a lineup that nods to rock heritage and punk influence alike. At arena shows in London, Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham, classic Scottish duo The Jesus and Mary Chain will provide main support, adding an atmospheric, melodic edge to the bill. Outdoor dates at Cardiff Castle, Scarborough, Colchester and Halifax will be highlighted by legendary punk outfit The Damned, giving fans a diverse and dynamic concert experience.
For many fans, this tour marks a significant live milestone: it will be the Hollywood Vampires’ first sustained concert run in almost three years, following a period with sporadic appearances and postponed dates. Featuring a blend of classic rock influences and modern performance style, the group has built a reputation for high-energy shows that touch on elements of glam, hard rock and theatrical presentation.
Formed in 2012, Hollywood Vampires began as a nod to legendary drinking circle lore from the early 1970s that included Alice Cooper and figures such as John Lennon and Keith Moon. Today’s lineup — with Alice Cooper’s storied rock legacy, Johnny Depp’s crossover fame, Joe Perry’s Aerosmith pedigree and Tommy Henriksen’s multi-genre experience — brings together diverse strengths in one supergroup.
Despite gaps between touring cycles, the band has maintained strong fan enthusiasm, with recent UK festival appearances and arena shows sparking demand for a full tour. The return of a proper multi-date run signals that their momentum remains vigorous heading into late summer 2026.
Tickets for the Hollywood Vampires’ UK tour are scheduled to go on sale beginning Friday, January 23, 2026, via Planet Rock Tickets and official tour partners. With multiple arena stops and outdoor venues, demand is expected to be high — particularly in major cities such as London and Manchester, where previous concerts sold out rapidly.
