Johnny Depp announces Hollywood Vampires UK tour – here’s when tickets go on sale | Music | Entertainment


Hollywood Vampires perform on The Late Late Show

Johnny Depp has been in the headlines a lot over the past 18 months following his extremely public lawsuit against Amber Heard. While he may have won the defamation suit against his ex-wife, he still lost out on his prized role of Jack Sparrow in Disney‘s fantasy series, Pirates of the Caribbean. In lieu of any Hollywood roles, the American star is hitting the road with his star-studded rock band, Hollywood Vampires.

Hollywood Vampires is made up of Depp, Alice Cooper, his guitarist Tommy Henriksen, and Aerosmith’s guitarist Joe Perry.

The stars have been stagnant over the last few years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but now they’re going on tour in the UK next summer.

This month the band announced six dates across the UK throughout July 2023, beginning in Scarborough and ending in Glasgow, Scotland.

This news follows their 2020 tour being cancelled, just a matter of months after the release of their second album, Rise.

Ticket prices have not yet been announced, but comparable gigs at these venues have ranged from £50-£90 per ticket.

The Hollywood Vampires are also offering VIP Packages from Tuesday 25th October, including a slew of exciting exclusives.

These packages are said to include personal photographs with Joe, Johnny and Alice, a front row ticket, exclusive merchandise, autographed memorabilia “and more”.

Alice Cooper said of the newly announced tour: “Well, it’s already been three years since the Vampires have toured because of Covid. Also, Johnny has his movies, Joe’s in Aerosmith and I’m in Alice Cooper, so we have to look at that whole thing and see when we can all get a month or two off where we can go out and tour. And, we are going to be doing that, next summer coming up, 2023.”

Cooper added: “I can’t wait to get back with the guys, I really love being in that band. My band is great and wonderful, but playing with the Vampires is an entirely different situation. I don’t necessarily do any theatrics at all, I’m just the lead singer, in a band, and the band just happens to be one of the best bands around!”

The rocker went on to say it will be “great” to see both Depp and Perry on tour every night.

“We’ll be rocking these places,” he said. “Especially the UK, I can’t wait to get to the UK! Lock your doors, put garlic all around, because the Vampires are coming!”

Perry agreed: “Next Summer it will be finally time for the Hollywood Vampires to rise again! We can’t wait to play the songs from our latest album, Rise, for all our fans across the pond. The excitement builds as we countdown the days! See you all then… remember, leave the garlic at home!”
