Legendary rocker Alice Cooper<\/b>, along with two members of his touring band, guitarists Tommy Henriksen<\/b> and Nita Strauss<\/b>, took part in this past fall’s “Night Of The Proms”<\/b> tour in Germany.<\/p>\n
“Night Of The Proms”<\/b> features rock and pop artists performing with orchestral accompaniment. Other artists featured on the 2025 tour included Joss Stone<\/b> and ULTRAVOX<\/b>‘s Midge Ure<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Fan-filmed video of the December 19 and December 20 “Night Of The Proms”<\/b> concerts at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, Germany can be seen below.<\/p>\n
Since its founding in Belgium in 1985, “Night Of The Proms”<\/b> has captivated hundreds of thousands of fans across Europe each year, according to a press release shared by Sick Things UK<\/b>. Its unique formula: international pop stars perform their biggest hits, not with a traditional rock band, but in lavish arrangements with a full symphonic orchestra and classical choir. Combined with timeless classical works \u2014 from Beethoven<\/b> and Mozart<\/b> to modern composers \u2014 the result is a dramatic, emotional journey that gives audiences goosebumps.<\/p>\n
Cooper<\/b> pioneered a grandly theatrical brand of hard rock that was designed to shock. Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood and boa constrictors. Known as the architect of shock-rock, Cooper<\/b> (in both the original ALICE COOPER<\/b> band and as a solo artist) has rattled the cages and undermined the authority of generations of guardians of the status quo, continuing to surprise fans and exude danger at every turn, like a great horror movie, even in an era where CNN<\/b> can present real life shocking images. Few performers in the history of rock and roll have blended music, theater, and pure shock the way Alice Cooper<\/b> has. For more than five decades, the godfather of shock rock has terrified, thrilled, and captivated audiences around the globe with a stage show unlike anything else in music. From the guillotines and snakes to unforgettable anthems like “School’s Out”<\/b> and “Poison”<\/b>, Alice Cooper<\/b> turned concerts into experiences that blurred the line between rock and horror.<\/p>\n
Cooper<\/b> completed a U.S. co-headlining tour with JUDAS PRIEST<\/b> in October.<\/p>\n
Next March, Cooper<\/b> and extreme illusionist Criss Angel<\/b> will unite in “Welcome To Our Nightmare”<\/b>, an exclusive, limited-engagement partnership at the Criss Angel Theater at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Legendary rocker Alice Cooper, along with two members of his touring band, guitarists Tommy Henriksen and Nita Strauss,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":656224,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5310],"tags":[2000,299,1824],"class_list":{"0":"post-656223","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-germany","8":"tag-eu","9":"tag-europe","10":"tag-germany"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115786914403692098","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=656223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656223\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/656224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=656223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=656223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=656223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
