In July 2025, the 76-year-old will bring fans in Cardiff (Tue 22nd July – Utilita Arena) and Edinburgh (Weds 23 July – Playhouse) closer than ever to the show, with giant video screens blending the live action with pre-recorded scenes to delve deeper into Alice’s world. The Edinburgh date marks his return to the celebrated venue after more than 20 years!

Says Cooper of the dates: “Cardiff and Edinburgh – you can’t escape! We missed you last year, but now we’re coming back. Alice would never let you down. Can’t wait to see all the Sick Things at our shows at Utilita Arena in Cardiff on July 22nd and the Edinburgh Playhouse on July 23rd.”

Classics like Under My Wheels, I’m Eighteen, Schools Out, Poison, Billion Dollar Babies, and No More Mr Nice Guy are staples and there are surprises every night, effortlessly drawn from one the greatest catalogues in rock and roll.

“For Road, I wanted the band to be involved in the foundation of all the songs,” says Cooper. “I only see these guys when we’re on the road. So, I wanted them to be as tight as they are for the show but on all new material. When you have a band this good, I believe in showing it off, and this is my way of doing so.”

These new shows come come ahead of Cooper’s already announced double-headline slot alongside Judas Priest at London’s O2 Arena on 25th July.

There are few concert settings in Britain as naturally dramatic as the Eden Sessions. Nestled within a former clay pit and framed by the iconic biomes of the Eden Project, the venue possesses a unique sense of occasion before a note is even played. On this June evening, the Cornish weather appears determined to play its part too. Persistent rain hangs over the site for much of the day, only to disappear almost on cue as Gary Lightbody, Nathan Connolly and Johnny McDaid walk on stage. It feels as though somebody has edited the weather into the evening’s script.
