Shock rock icon Alice Cooper will perform at Tobin Center

Known for his on-stage theatrics, Cooper and his bandmates have been shocking audiences for more than 50 years.

SAN ANTONIO — Legendary shock-rocker Alice Cooper will make a stop in the Alamo City as part of his "Too Close for Comfort" tour.

A pioneer of grandly theatrical hard rock, Cooper and his band will perform at the H-E-B Performance Hall at the Tobin Center at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, August 22.

Tickets are available online at www.tobincenter.org and www.Ticketmaster.com and are on sale now. 

Fans can expect to see the dark and horror-themed theatrics that Cooper is best known for, as well hits "School's Out" and "No More Mr. Nice Guy." Cooper first made a splash in the mid-1970s but has been rocking ever since.

He had a renaissance in the 1980s, scoring with the hits "Poison" and "Feed My Frankenstein," and appearing in the film "Wayne's World 2." 

With a raspy voice and a stage show that features numerous props and stage illusions, including pyrotechnics, guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, reptiles, baby dolls and dueling swords, Cooper is considered by many music journalists and peers to be "The Godfather of Shock Rock."
