by | Jan 18, 2026

Rock supergroup Hollywood Vampires have announced a major UK tour for August 2026, marking a highly anticipated return for one of rock’s most charismatic supergroups. The run of dates will see the band perform across arenas and landmark outdoor venues, reaffirming their reputation as a formidable live force and a passionate custodian of rock ’n’ roll history.

Comprised of core members shock-rocker Alice Cooper, Aerosmith axe-man Joe Perry and Hollywood A-lister Johnny Depp, Hollywood Vampires were formed out of a shared love for the spirit, danger and camaraderie of classic rock. Named after the legendary 1970s drinking club frequented by rock icons in Los Angeles, the band’s mission has always been clear: to honour the music, attitude and legacy of fallen heroes while delivering original material with grit, swagger and sincerity.

Their live shows are famously theatrical and unpredictable, blending hard-hitting originals with covers and tributes that celebrate the likes of Lemmy, David Bowie and other departed legends. Frontman Alice Cooper remains a commanding presence, Joe Perry brings razor-sharp guitar firepower, and Johnny Depp continues to prove himself a compelling performer in his own right, fully committed to the band’s ethos rather than trading on celebrity alone.

Rockshot Magazine previously caught Hollywood Vampires at their last London show in July 2023 at London’s O2 Arena, where the band delivered a powerful, reverent and high-energy performance that paid fitting homage to rock’s greats while thrilling a packed crowd. That show underlined just how potent the Vampires remain on stage, and the newly announced 2026 dates look set to raise the bar even higher.

The upcoming UK tour will take in everything from historic castles to major indoor arenas, offering fans multiple chances to experience the band’s celebratory and thunderous live show. With their reputation for uncompromising performances and deep respect for rock history, Hollywood Vampires’ 2026 run is shaping up to be one of the standout rock tours of the summer.
