The Land of Enchantment is about to get a dose of unrelenting rock as two legends of the genre—Alice Cooper and Judas Priest—are set to electrify Albuquerque this fall. The two iconic acts are teaming up for a 22-city co-headlining tour produced by Live Nation, with a stop at Isleta Amphitheater on October 23rd.
More than just a concert. It's a monumental moment for New Mexico rock fans. For one night only, the desert will be alive with the theatrical spectacle of Alice Cooper and the thunderous precision of Judas Priest. With a combined legacy of over a century in music, these titans of the stage are known for delivering unforgettable live performances that are part rock show, part spectacle, and 100% pure adrenaline.
Judas Priest arrives in Albuquerque fresh off the second leg of their Invincible Shield tour, promoting their critically acclaimed 19th studio album. Known for defining heavy metal's sound and style, the band's setlist blends classics like "Breaking the Law" and "Painkiller" with powerful new anthems that showcase their continued evolution and dominance in the genre.
Alice Cooper—the original shock rocker—is no stranger to New Mexico stages, and he returns with an all-new show that promises to outdo even his standards. Known for his macabre stage presence, complete with guillotines, snakes, and gothic storytelling, Cooper will finish his Too Close For Comfort tour this summer before unveiling his latest production. Fans can expect a visual and sonic feast featuring tracks from his most recent album, "Road," with timeless hits like "School's Out" and "No More Mr. Nice Guy."
Tickets for the Albuquerque show go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 18 at 10 a.m. via LiveNation.com, with artist presales beginning Wednesday, April 16. Given the stature of these rock legends and the rarity of such a collaboration, fans are encouraged to secure their spots early.
For longtime fans and newcomers alike, this October 23 concert at Isleta Amphitheater is shaping up to be a must-see celebration of heavy metal history—and a night New Mexico won't soon forget.
