Alice Cooper has set December 12 for the 24th annual Christmas Pudding, his benefit concert at Phoenix's Celebrity Theatre, with Dee Snider, Halestorm's Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger, and John 5 and the Creatures among this year's lineup.
Proceeds from the show benefit Alice Cooper's Solid Rock Teen Centers, which operate across Arizona in Phoenix, Mesa and Goodyear, offering music, dance, art and vocational programs for kids ages 12 to 20.
This year's concert also features a performance from the Solid Rock Dance Company, along with the winners of the annual "Proof Is In The Pudding" performer competition, which gives up-and-coming local acts a spot on the bill.
Cooper marked the milestone year by thanking the musicians who return each year to donate their time. "We look forward to another unforgettable night of music and mayhem," he said, adding that he remains grateful to everyone who has helped turn Christmas Pudding into one of the Valley's favorite holiday traditions.
Pre-sale tickets open Wednesday, August 26 at 10am local time, with the general public on-sale following Friday, August 28 at 10am, through Etix.
The charity show lands during a busy stretch for Cooper, who is also preparing for a fall North American tour, Alice's Attic, running from September through mid-November. Fans can follow both dates on the tour guide as part of a packed season of rock touring.
