Alice Cooper Rocks the Peterborough Memorial Centre With Energetic Performance

The “Godfather of Shock Rock” Alice Cooper had a packed audience on their feet at the Peterborough Memorial Centre (PMC) with a lively rock performance Sunday night.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee made a stop in Peterborough as part of his 2022 “Monsters of Rock Cruise” spring tour as special guests Buckcherry with Ace Frehley opened the show.

“We’re going to bring it. It’s going to be a show like you’ve never seen,” said Cooper in a past interview with PTBOCanada. “Everybody walks out of there with fake blood on them, glitter, confetti or streamers.”

Cooper dazzled the audience with several fan-favourite hit songs such as School’s Out, No More Mr. Nice Guy, Billion Dollar Babies, Poison, Hey Stoopid and more.

He last played at the Peterborough Memorial Centre on Oct. 3, 2004, with a 23-song setlist. His prior performance since that year was on Dec. 29, 1989.

Cooper was scheduled to play in Peterborough at the PMC in 2020, on the “Ol’ Black Eyes is Back” tour but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
