The granddaddy of shock rock, Alice Cooper, will bring a chill to Wolverhampton when he returns to play the Civic Hall this winter.

Alice Cooper plays the Civic on Tuesday, December 1, 2009.

Tickets, which cost £32.50 plus booking fees, go on sale this Friday, May 29.

Fans can expect a theatrical extravaganza as Alice brings his Theatre of Death Tour to the Midlands.

Last year’s he released his 25th album, Along Came a Spider, which debuted at a creditable No. 31 in the British charts and gained very favourable reviews. The album spins the story of a serial killer who takes a leg from each of eight victims, planning to construct a human spider.

Fans at Wolverhampton can expect a healthy dose of new tracks plus Cooper classics including  School’s Out, Poison and No More Mr Nice Guy.
