Alice Cooper Announces Fall 2026 Vegas Shows with Criss Angel, Return of Nita Strauss
The new run of "Welcome to Our Nightmare" shows are set for November and December. Alice Cooper Announces Fall 2026 Vegas Shows with Criss Angel, Return of Nita Strauss Langdon Hickman
Alice Cooper and Criss Angel have announced a new run of “Welcome to Our Nightmare” shows in Las Vegas this fall.
The shock rocker and the magician previously played a run of shows at The Criss Angel Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino this past spring. The new dates are set for November 27th and 28th, and December 4th and 5th, with tickets currently available via Ticketmaster .
Cooper has also announced that Nita Strauss will return on guitar for the upcoming shows with Criss Angel. Strauss had taken maternity leave from Cooper’s live band this year to welcome her first child with husband Josh Villalta. The guitarist gave birth to son Maxwell James Villalta on May 28th.
In her absence, Anna Cara has been filling in on guitar, and will continue to do so on Cooper’s upcoming “Alice’s Attic” fall tour through November 21st ( tickets available here ).
Alice Cooper stated, “We added the November and December shows after the March, April and May shows sold out so quickly, so that more of our fans could experience this very special show that Criss and I created. Nita opened our 2026 touring season in Las Vegas back in March and is now returning to close out 2026 with us there, and we’re really looking forward to welcoming the Hurricane back onto the stage. Bringing Nita back after she took a break to start a family is the perfect way to wrap up 2026.”
He added, “We couldn’t believe our luck when we confirmed Anna Cara to fill in for her for all of our shows across North America and Europe this year. Anna has been a true asset to the tour and she’s now part of the family. Who could ask for anything more than to have these two amazing musicians in the Cooper family?”
