Hollywood Vampires | TK Maxx presents Scarborough Open Air Theatre

American rock supergroup Hollywood Vampires will return to the UK and Europe this summer for a string of hugely anticipated shows including a date in Scarborough.

Their first live shows in almost three years, Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen will return to TK Maxx Presents Scarborough Open Air Theatre on Saturday August 15 with special guests The Damned.

They last played an electrifying sold-out show at the venue in 2023.

It’s been a decade since Hollywood Vampires first came together – and they’re still raising hell on stage. Formed in 2015, the band bonded over a shared love of their favourite songs and a desire to celebrate their ‘dead, drunk friends’ by playing the music of rock’s fallen heroes.

Named after Alice Cooper’s 1970s drinking club, which included the likes of John Lennon, Keith Moon and Mickey Dolenz, Hollywood Vampires quickly earned a reputation for blistering live shows - a riotous mix of original anthems and tributes to the legends who inspired them.

Their sets are a raucous celebration of rock’s greatest icons, performed alongside their own powerhouse material. Hollywood Vampires’ shows feature stone-cold classics from The Who, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Motörhead, The Doors, AC/DC and more, alongside hits from Alice Cooper and Aerosmith.

Special guests in Scarborough will be true punk and Goth-Rock icons The Damned. With 12 studio albums – including the era- defining ‘Damned Damned Damned’ – and several UK chart singles under their belts, the legends mark their 50th anniversary with a new tour and album. Released on Friday January 23, ‘Not Like Everybody Else’ is a deeply personal and celebratory covers album dedicated to the memory of Brian James, the band's legendary founding guitarist who died in 2025.
