Heavy metal icon Rob Zombie brought his Freaks On Parade tour to Tampa last summer alongside Mudvayne, Static-X, and Powerman 5000. He’s bringing the tour back on the road in 2023, but with a lineup including one of the guys that put the 58-year-old superbeast on the map in the first place: Alice Cooper.
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.
Coop—without whom, heavy metal as we know it would not exist—has made a point to stop in Tampa Bay just about every year in the last decade. Whether he was tour debuting “Be My Lover” at Ruth Eckerd Hall, or co-headlining with Ace Frehley two nights after the current lineup of KISS over at the ol’ Gary, there’s no excuse as to why a Tampa resident has not seen the king of shock rock live yet.
