Cooper helped Zombie out in creating his Grammy-nominated first solo effort “Hands of Death (Burn Baby Burn)” back in 1996, and this tour finds them playing two Florida shows.
Tickets to see Rob Zombie with Alice Cooper, as well as Ministry and Filter at the Midflorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa on Saturday, Aug. 26, go on sale this Friday, Feb. 3 but ticket prices have yet to be announced.
