Alice Cooper will return to the UK to tour in 2017, with five arena dates across the country. Tickets will go on sale Friday (December 16).

The 'School's Out' and 'Poison' rockstar is set for a busy year in 2017, returning to the stage with shows including a huge date at London's Wembley Arena and Manchester.

Cooper has just finished an impressive run of 90 shows, which formed his 2016 tour, ending at the iconic Pantages Theatre in Hollywood - a show which saw Butch Walker and Johnny Depp join in with a celabratory version of 'School's Out'. A limited edition vinyl version of 'I'm Eighteen/Is My Body' was also released this year and instanly sold out after being released on America's Black Friday Record Store Day. 

It also looks like a new studio album will drop in 2017, with Cooper discussing working on new material with longtime producer Bob Ezrin and former band mates.

The 2017 shows will include support from two bands The Mission and The Tubes to make a massive triple-bill concert. The support acts are said to have been chosen to reflect the two best  sides of Cooper's personality, described as 'outrageous theatrical controversy and the darker Gothic rock'.

The tour November 2017 tour dates are below.

11 - Leeds - First Direct Arena 
12 - Glasgow - The SSE Hydro 
14 - Birmingham - Barclaycard Arena  
15 - Manchester - Manchester Arena  

16th - London – The SSE Arena, Wembley
