Alice Cooper playing Penticton show next April

One of the original shock rockers is returning to the Okanagan next April when Alice Cooper brings 'Ol' Black Eyes is Back' to the South Okanagan Events Centre. 

The No More Mr. Nice Guy and School's Out for Summer singer is as much about dark theatrics as music, drawing snakes, fake blood and even guillotines and electric chairs on stage. He was elected into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011 with his original band. He has a new band called The Hollywood Vampires and recorded the album Paranormal in 2017.

Prince George and Penticton are the only B.C. stops on the Ol Black Eyes is Back international tour.

The Penticton show is Sunday, April 19, 2020 and tickets are on sale this Friday, Oct. 18 at 10 a.m. Ticket prices range from $45 to $109. Get Tickets available in person at the Valley First Box Office (at the SOEC), by phone at 1-877-SOEC-TIX (763-2849) order online at Live Nation  and ValleyFirstTix.com.
