If you missed his recent performance at Memorial Coliseum or simply are itching for more, Alice Cooper returns to the area on Wednesday, Oct. 11, for a performance at Honeywell Center in Wabash.
His Too Close for Comfort Tour will allow folks to experience all the electrifying theatrics of Cooper, the pioneer of shock rock. His music and legendary stage presence are one thing, but his dark and horror-themed shows featuring a guillotine, electric chair, and a boa constrictor are a must-see.
He may be 75 years old, but he continues to captivate audiences worldwide and will release a new album, Road, on Aug. 25.
Tickets for Alice Cooper go on sale Friday, July 21, at 10 a.m. Get tickets online at honeywellarts.org or by calling the Honeywell box office at (260) 563-1102.

The Ruin welcomes Joe Buck Yourself
Always a Fort Wayne favorite, Joe Buck Yourself is set to return to town on Saturday, July 22, at 8 p.m. for a performance at The Ruin.
The once anti-Nashville, Tennessee-based Joe Buck gained notoriety as the guitarist for The Legendary Shack Shakers and as Hank III’s villainous upright bass player.
Joe Buck Yourself is now bona fide one-man band serving up a unique blend of “hellbilly” punk rock, a show not fit for grandma.
The evening will get under way with openers Squirrel Cage, Toe-Knee Tea, and Totally Orange Time Machine.
Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 day of the show.
