Watch: ALICE COOPER Plays Three-Song Set At Halftime Of Las Vegas Raiders Vs. Kansas City Chiefs Game
October 5, 2026Alice Cooper and two of his longtime musicians, guitarist Nita Strauss and drummer Glen Sobel, performed a three-song set during the halftime of the Kansas City Chiefs' 30-27 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders Sunday (October 4) at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. They were joined for "School's Out", "I'm Eighteen" and "No More Mr. Nice Guy" by vocalists Lily Arce and Fletch Walcott, guitarist Steven Lee and bassist Fernando Tort from David Perrico and the Raiders House Band.
Regarding his song selection for the Allegiant Stadium performance, Cooper — who will return to Vegas in late November for the rock concert-illusion production "Welcome To Our Nightmare" with Criss Angel at Angel's Planet Hollywood theater — told John Katsilometes of the Las Vegas Review-Journal: "We didn't want to go with anything more difficult than that. Those are the three that I think everybody picks up on. Everybody sings on 'Nice Guy' and 'School's Out'."
A short time after the game, Nita took to her social media to share a short video of the performance, and she included the following message: "Quick trip to Vegas for a super fun (but short) Alice Cooper set at Allegiant Stadium Raiders v Chiefs halftime today!!! Heartbreaking end to the game but we had a blast. See you back in Vegas next month for Alice/ Criss Angel Round 2!!"
Alice's new autobiography, "Devil On My Shoulder" will arrive in the U.S. on October 6 via Grand Central Publishing's recently launched Da Capo imprint.
No stranger to doing things his own way, Alice Cooper has cast a long shadow over rock music with an unrivaled live show and timeless anthems like "School's Out", "No Mr. Nice Guy" and "Poison". Selling over 50 million albums worldwide, he earned a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame in 2003, and the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inducted him as part of its class of 2011. Boasting one of the most influential catalogues in history, Rolling Stone cited 1971's platinum-certified "Love It To Death" among the "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time", while other platinum releases spanned the seminal "Killer" (1971),"School's Out" (1972),the Billboard 200 No. 1 "Billion Dollar Babies" (1973),"Welcome To My Nightmare" (1975) and "Trash" (1989),to name a few. The latter even graced Rolling Stone's "50 Greatest Hair Metal Albums Of All Time."
He's so embedded in generations of popular culture that he not only made a cult-classic appearance in "Wayne's World" during 1992, but he also starred alongside John Legend and Sara Bareilles in NBC's 2018 production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's "Jesus Christ Superstar Live In Concert" — and also memorably appeared on both "The Muppets" and "That 70s Show!" as well as in Tim Burton's "Dark Shadows" film. Beyond hundreds of syncs, everyone from Etta James, THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, MEGADETH and THE FLAMING LIPS has covered his tunes. THE BEASTIE BOYS, DISTURBED, and countless others have sampled him. His collaborators have notably included the late Vincent Price, AEROSMITH, GUNS N' ROSES and Jon Bon Jovi, to name just a few. Plus, he co-founded HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES alongside AEROSMITH's Joe Perry and Johnny Depp. Most recently, 2025's "The Revenge Of Alice Cooper" reunited the surviving members of the original ALICE COOPER band to widespread critical acclaim. After thousands upon thousands of gigs and easily a million miles traveled, the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee continues ever onwards into rock 'n' roll folklore.
