ALICE COOPER Confirmed For New Zealand's ROCK2WGTN Festival

December 11, 2007

According to The New Zealand Herald, ALICE COOPER will join OZZY OSBOURNE and KISS for the upcoming Rock2Wgtn music festival, which is scheduled to take place March 22-23 at Westpac Stadium in Wellington, New Zealand.

Cooper gained notoriety after a 1969 concert incident led to him being reported, wrongly, to have bitten the head off a live chicken and drunk its blood on stage. But he continued to court controversy with his stage shows featuring electric chairs, fake blood and boa constrictors.

Concert promoter Phil Sprey said the concert was attracting attention from around the world.

"Hotels are seeing bookings rolling in from as far away as Scandinavia, Canada and Argentina," he said.

Also scheduled to appear are Finnish monster rockers LORDI.

Pre-sale tickets go on sale on December 17.
