Alice Cooper — a links-loving man who’s seen actual children thrown into sewers (seriously, read our interview) — is headed back to Tampa Bay. Today, the 71-year-old shock-rocker announced a November 7 show at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater.

The gig is Cooper’s first show in the area since a March 2018 gig at Ruth Eckerd, and other Florida dates on the tour include Fort Myers (November 3 at Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall), Melbourne (November 5 at the Maxwell C. King Center) and Orlando (November 6 at Hard Rock Live).

There’s a literally insane “Front Row Insanity Package” that’ll run fans $743.75, but the rest of the tickets (which start at $51.25) go on sale Friday, June 7 at 10 a.m. EDT. More information is available via rutheckerdhall.com.
