Supergroup The Hollywood Vampires have expanded their 2016 tour.
Led by the trio of Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp and Aerosmith’s Joe Perry, the band have added a May 29 appearance at the Hessentag Festival in Herborn, Germany and more than a dozen US dates to their first extended tour.
Shows begin at the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York on May 24, with dates running to the end of July.
The band’s live lineup will be see Robert DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots step in on bass for Guns N’ Roses Duff McKagan due to his other commitements, and will be rounded out by drummer Matt Sorum, guitarist Tommy Henriksen and multi-instrumentalist Bruce Witkin on piano, percussion and guitar.
"Here is a gang of friends who came together really by chance and over the last year we were finally able to wrangle our schedules and the energy just fell into place,” says Perry. “Playing with this line up is like a dream come true. After seeing the reaction at Rock In Rio in front of 100,000 fans, I know this band is going to tear the house down. Hell, I would want to be in the audience to see us rip it up."
Cooper recently confirmed that the Hollywood Vampires have begun working on a follow-up to their 2015 self-titled debut, which featured a collection of covers of tracks by The Who, John Lennon, T. Rex and more.
