JUST ANNOUNCED: Judas Priest & Alice Cooper Join Forces for an Epic North American Fall Tour – Presale Starts Tomorrow at…..
Metalheads, prepare for a seismic collision of shock and steel. Two of the most iconic names in rock history — Judas Priest and Alice Cooper — have officially announced they are joining forces for a massive North American Fall Tour that promises to be one of the most explosive live experiences of the decade.
Kicking off in September 2025, the 30-date trek will bring the leather-and-chrome fury of Judas Priest together with the gothic theatrics of Alice Cooper in a spectacle of pure rock and roll mayhem. Aptly titled “Masters of Mayhem: The Final Fall,” the tour will crisscross major U.S. and Canadian cities including New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Chicago, Phoenix, and more.
Presale for fan club members begins tomorrow at 10AM local time, with general public tickets going on sale Friday at 12PM via Ticketmaster and other official vendors.
A Legacy Written in Blood and Thunder
With over 50 years in the music industry, both Judas Priest and Alice Cooper are legendary in their own rights. Together, they’ve shaped the sound, look, and attitude of hard rock and heavy metal across generations.
Judas Priest, known for groundbreaking albums like British Steel, Screaming for Vengeance, and Painkiller, recently wrapped up their European leg of the “Invincible Shield” tour. Now, frontman Rob Halford, guitarists Richie Faulkner and Andy Sneap, bassist Ian Hill, and drummer Scott Travis are ready to bring their unmistakable twin-guitar attack and Halford’s earth-shattering vocals back to North American soil.
“This is going to be one for the ages,” Halford said in today’s press release. “To tour with Alice Cooper — someone we’ve admired for decades — is a dream. We’re pulling out all the stops. Expect the unexpected.”
Alice Cooper, the godfather of shock rock, is equally fired up. Famous for his theatrical live performances featuring guillotines, snakes, fake blood, and razor-sharp riffs, Cooper continues to defy time. With a career spanning nearly six decades, the 76-year-old icon shows no signs of slowing down. His recent album Road was met with critical acclaim, and his current band — featuring guitar phenom Nita Strauss, along with long-time collaborators Chuck Garric, Ryan Roxie, and Glen Sobel — is firing on all cylinders.
“I’ve toured with a lot of bands, but teaming up with Judas Priest? That’s a match made in heavy metal heaven — or maybe hell,” Cooper quipped. “We both bring something unique, and together, fans are going to get a show they’ll never forget.”
The Tour Dates and What to Expect
While the full list of dates is set to be released alongside ticket presales, insiders have hinted that the tour will launch in Dallas, TX and conclude in Seattle, WA just before Thanksgiving. Several shows are scheduled in open-air amphitheaters and legendary indoor arenas like Madison Square Garden and The Forum.
Fans can expect full headline sets from both artists, with Priest and Cooper alternating closing slots. The production will feature state-of-the-art pyrotechnics, 3D visuals, custom staging, and possibly on-stage collaborations that fans have long fantasized about.
Fan Excitement Reaches a Boiling Point
The announcement has already set social media ablaze, with hashtags like #PriestCooper2025 and #MastersOfMayhemTour trending within hours.
Longtime fans and younger rock enthusiasts alike are calling it a “must-see” event. Rock radio stations across the country have begun spinning classic hits like “Electric Eye” and “School’s Out” in honor of the tour news.
“I’ve seen them both before,” said one excited fan on X (formerly Twitter). “But together? That’s historic. This will be the tour I tell my grandkids about.”
Ticketing, VIP Packages, and More
In addition to standard tickets, the tour will offer exclusive VIP packages, including meet-and-greets, soundcheck access, limited-edition merchandise, and even stage tour experiences. Packages will be available starting tomorrow during the presale at 10AM local time via the artists’ official websites and Live Nation.
Both Judas Priest and Alice Cooper encourage fans to sign up for newsletters and fan clubs to get first dibs on presale codes and early access.
Final Thoughts
In an age when classic rock is more revered than ever, the announcement of Judas Priest and Alice Cooper co-headlining a tour feels like a once-in-a-lifetime event. With their towering legacies, fierce energy, and undying commitment to the stage, the Masters of Mayhem tour isn’t just a concert series — it’s a celebration of heavy metal’s unbreakable spirit.
Whether you’re a diehard fan or a newcomer looking to witness the power of legends in action, this fall tour will be the defining rock event of 2025.
Don’t miss out — presale starts tomorrow at 10AM. Let the mayhem begin.
