Cooper's Tour Features Cara
Alice Cooper Announces Extended Fall 2026 Tour, Welcoming New Guitarist Anna Cara
Key Points
The Fall 2026 leg kicks off on Oct. 27 in Clearwater, Florida and runs through Nov. 21 in Reno, Nevada, yielding a Reno finale.
Anna Cara, a 23-year-old guitarist from Newcastle, England, has stepped in to replace Nita Strauss and has previously worked with Marc Storace (KROKUS) and Tommy Henriksen.
Nita Strauss is taking a break this summer to welcome her first child, which prompted Cara’s addition to the touring lineup.
Cooper plans a brief U.K. book tour in October to promote his forthcoming autobiography, Devil on My Shoulder.
The Revenge of Alice Cooper, his latest album from last year, is available via earMUSIC, linking the live production to his current recorded material.
Alice Cooper is hitting the road again this fall, announcing an extended North American leg of his Alice's Attic tour running from late October through late November 2026, according to Consequence. The 78-year-old shock-rock legend will play cities across the U.S. and Canada, opening in Clearwater, Florida on Oct. 27 and closing in Reno, Nevada on Nov. 21.
The run builds on last year's co-headline trek with Judas Priest and coincides with the Oct. 6 release of Cooper's forthcoming autobiography, Devil on My Shoulder, per Rock Cellar Magazine.
Tour Hits Festivals, Theaters, and Casino Stages
The fall leg features a mix of festival slots and headline shows. Cooper will appear at Louisville's Louder Than Life festival, West Springfield's The Big E Fair, and Ottawa's CityFolk before moving into theater and arena dates, according to Metal Insider. Headlining stops include Niagara Falls, Windsor, Hershey, and St. Louis.
The Hershey Theatre show is set for Nov. 4, with general public tickets going on sale at 10 a.m. on July 17, Lancaster Online reported. Fans at select stops like Caesars Windsor can access early presales ahead of the public on-sale date, per Windsorite.
Anna Cara Steps In as Nita Strauss Takes Maternity Leave
A notable lineup change accompanies the tour. Guitarist Nita Strauss is stepping back this summer to welcome her first child. Her replacement is Anna Cara, a 23-year-old guitarist from Newcastle, England, according to Consequence.
Cara is not new to rock royalty. She has previously worked with Marc Storace of KROKUS and Tommy Henriksen, Cooper's longtime collaborator. Her addition keeps the Alice's Attic band tight heading into the fall run.
Autobiography and UK Book Tour Frame the Fall Push
Cooper plans a brief U.K. book tour in October ahead of the North American dates. The trip will promote Devil on My Shoulder, his memoir due Oct. 6, Rock Cellar Magazine reported. The book tour marks a rare break from stage theatrics in favor of a more personal format.
The timing links the live shows directly to the memoir's release window. Cooper's latest studio album, The Revenge of Alice Cooper, is out now on earMUSIC. The album and book together frame this fall run as one of his busiest promotional stretches in years.
Alice's Attic Stage Show Carries On Cooper's Theatrical Legacy
The Alice's Attic production debuted during last year's joint tour with Judas Priest. It blends horror imagery with theatrical rock staging — the kind of spectacle Cooper has built his career on since the early 1970s. Consequence described it as a full live experience rooted in that tradition.
Now 78, Cooper shows no signs of slowing down. The 2026 fall leg spans nearly a month of dates across more than a dozen cities. For fans, the July 17 general on-sale date is the key window to grab seats before they're gone.
