Heavy metal icons Judas Priest are joining forces with shock rock legend Alice Cooper for a powerhouse co-headlining tour across the U.S. in fall 2025. The 22-concert trek will bring together two of the most influential forces in hard rock and metal history for a string of explosive live performances. Special guest Corrosion of Conformity will join the tour on select dates, adding an extra edge of southern sludge and groove metal to an already electrifying lineup.
Kicking off in early September and running through late October, the tour promises to be a high-octane celebration of classic metal, theatrical rock, and decades of genre-defining music. Fans can expect career-spanning sets from both headliners, with Judas Priest likely drawing from their recent album *Invincible Shield*, and Alice Cooper delivering his trademark macabre stage show complete with guillotines, snakes, and a healthy dose of rock anthems.
Two notable stops include a performance at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey, on September 26, followed by a night at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs, New York, on September 27. Both venues are known for their scenic outdoor settings and strong fan turnout, making them ideal locations for this epic meeting of metal royalty.
This tour marks another chapter in Judas Priest’s storied career, coming off the momentum of their 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination and over 50 years of metal dominance. For Alice Cooper, it’s a continuation of his legacy as rock’s reigning villain and showman extraordinaire. With support from Corrosion of Conformity, known for their gritty blend of metal and punk, fans across the U.S. are in for a night of heavy riffs, theatrical spectacle, and pure rock mayhem.
Tickets are expected to go fast, with pre-sales launching soon.
