This could be a marriage made in heaven … or maybe hell! Alice Cooper is teaming up with rocking magician Criss Angel for two special theatrical shows in Las Vegas in 2026.
Dubbed “Welcome to Our Nightmare,” the performances, which will combine a rock concert with an over-the-top magic presentation, will take place on March 6 and 7 at the Criss Angel Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

The extravaganza is described as “the Shock Rock Magic experience of a lifetime,” and “a theatrical visual feast that will destroy your MIND!” During the shows, Cooper and his band will deliver a 90-minute performance featuring many of his classic hits, including “Poison,” “I’m Eighteen,” “School’s Out,” “You and Me,” and many more. Angel will be onstage at the same time, performing macabre magic tricks and spectacular illusions.
A trailer offering a preview of the shows has been posted on Cooper’s official YouTube channel and social media pages.

About Cooper’s Latest Studio Album
As previously reported, Cooper reunited with the other surviving member of the original Alice Cooper group to record a new studio album, The Revenge of Alice Cooper, which was released in July.
The album is the first full-length collection of songs Cooper has made with bassist Dennis Dunaway, guitarist Michael Bruce, and drummer Neal Smith since Muscle of Love in 1973.
The album was produced with longtime Cooper studio collaborator Bob Ezrin. It features a posthumous appearance by the group’s founding lead guitarist, Glen Buxton, who died in 1997. An unreleased Buxton guitar part was incorporated into a new song titled “What Happened to You” that appears on the record.
The Doors’ Robby Krieger contributed lead guitar to a track called “Black Mamba.”
