Alice Cooper is moving his Australian tour to bigger venues in Melbourne and Brisbane.

Melbourne’s Evonne Goolagong Arena show has been moved to Rod Laver Arena, doubling capacity. Brisbane’s Convention Centre show will now be held at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.

Kiss founder Ace Frehely will open for all shows.

Alice Cooper released his new song ‘Paranoic Personaility’ last week. It is the first taste of the upcoming ‘Paranormal’ album.

The 12 track album has been recorded with long-time collaborator Bob Ezrin and features a very special bonus CD – a mini-album consisting of two brand new songs written and recorded together with the original Alice Cooper band members Dennis Dunaway, drummer Neal Smith and guitarist Michael Bruce alongside selected recent live recordings. “Paranormal” also features special guest appearances by U2’s Larry Mullen Jr., ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons and Deep Purple’s Roger Glover.
