On Thursday, Alice Cooper and Criss Angel revealed their inaugural public collaboration. Titled “Welcome to Our Nightmare!,” this unique blend of rock music and illusion will take place at the Criss Angel Theater within Planet Hollywood on March 6-7, 2026.

While discussing his inspirations in past interviews, Angel has often cited Harry Houdini, KISS, and Cirque du Soleil but has never specifically mentioned Cooper. However, their themes resonate strongly. Both artists are celebrated for their dramatic performances that merge theatricality with elements of camp, thrill, and horror.

Cooper’s live shows from the 1970s are known for their shocking elements, including electric chairs and boa constrictors, and his “Billion Dollar Babies” tour in 1973 featured the simulated beheading of a dwarf actor. On the other hand, Angel’s “Mindfreak” brand has thrived on televised acts and live performances that fuse danger with psychological intrigue.

At 77, Cooper will present a 90-minute set featuring classic hits such as “Poison,” “I’m 18,” and “School’s Out.” Angel is anticipated to showcase a condensed version of his “Mindfreak” residency, which he has been performing Wednesday through Sunday at Planet Hollywood since his transition from the Luxor in December 2018.

Tickets will be available for purchase starting at 10 a.m. PT on Thursday, November 6, via Ticketmaster.com/crissangel, with a presale beginning at 10 a.m. PT on Tuesday, November 4. Exclusive add-ons include limited Ultimate VIP Nightmare Experiences, which provide a backstage meet-and-greet with Cooper and Angel along with a unique collectibles package.

Details about which headlining act will kick off the two-night event are still pending, although there’s a strong chance they may alternate openings.
