SUMMARY:Hollywood Vampires // UK Tour 2026 // Colchester
DESCRIPTION:American rock supergroup Hollywood Vampires featuring Alice Cooper\, Johnny Depp\, Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen return to the UK this summer as part of their hugely anticipated UK tour\, marking their first live shows in almost three years. \nIt’s been a decade since Hollywood Vampires first came together — and they’re still raising hell on stage. Formed in 2015\, the band bonded over a shared love of their favourite songs and a desire to celebrate their ‘dead\, drunk friends’ by playing the music of rock’s fallen heroes. Named after Alice Cooper’s 1970s drinking club\, which included the likes of John Lennon\, Keith Moon and Mickey Dolenz\, Hollywood Vampires quickly earned a reputation for blistering live shows – a riotous mix of original anthems and tributes to the legends who inspired them. \nTheir sets are a raucous celebration of rock’s greatest icons\, performed alongside their own powerhouse material. Hollywood Vampires’ shows feature stone-cold classics from The Who\, Led Zeppelin\, David Bowie\, Motörhead\, The Doors\, AC/DC and more\, alongside hits from Alice Cooper and Aerosmith. There is a documentary in the works called “Unleashed Spirits – The Rise of The Hollywood Vampires” and a trailer can now be viewed at www.hollywoodvampires.com \n“After almost three years away\, we’re finally coming back to tour the UK and Europe— We’re looking forward to Incredible crowds\, massive energy and more unforgettable nights. See you all soon!” – Hollywood Vampires \nThe Damned are supporting Hollywood Vampires with 12 studio albums – including the era-defining Damned Damned Damned – and several UK chart singles under their belts\, the legends mark their 50th anniversary with a new tour and album. Released on Friday January 23\, Not Like Everybody Else is a deeply personal and celebratory covers album dedicated to the memory of Brian James\, the bands legendary founding guitarist who died in 2025. \nFriday 21 August 2026\, 17:00 to 22:30.PLEASE NOTE\, RE-ENTRY IS NOT POSSIBLE AT THIS EVENT. \nThis event is classified at 6+\, this means that anyone between 6 years and 17 years of age must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 21 (adult refers to a parent\, guardian or older relative that is responsible for the care and actions of the under 18 year old).
