Experienced live: ALICE COOPER
Nuremberg, July 1, 2024
Nuremberg’s Stadionpark was transformed into a time machine on Monday evening. Over 4,000 fans of all generations made the pilgrimage to the Alice Cooper concert and immersed themselves in the world of rock’n’roll. From teenagers bawling along to their parents’ songs to long-time fans who have been following the shock rocker for decades – everyone celebrated in high spirits.
Alice Cooper, who has left his mark on the music world for decades, once again proved why he is one of the greatest showmen of all time. He is the master of dark humor and macabre stagings. And he delivered: A puppet was tortured, Frankenstein was awakened, the guillotine was used to decapitate and the limits of good taste were explored. Just the way the fans want it!
With classics such as ‘I’m Eighteen’ and ‘School’s Out’, he took the audience on a journey through his rock history. Even though times have changed and the legendary snake was missing, he proved once again that he has lost none of his stage presence even after all these years.
