The ninth edition of Alice Cooper’s Christmas Pudding benefit concert is amassing a “Who’s Who” lineup of heavy metal icons and local rock favorites.
Already on the Dec. 18 bill are Twisted Sister front man and “House of Hair” radio host Dee Snyder, Lita Ford, Warrant, local heroes Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers, “American Idol” contestant Scott Macintyre and comedian Gary Mule Deer.
Also scheduled to appear is Runaway Phoenix, the Christian-rock band featuring Cooper’s son, Dash, on lead vocals, ventriloquist Ron Lucas, comic-magician Murray Saw, and the River of Life Choir.
Valley broadcasting personality Brad Perry returns as emcee, and this time he’s bringing his new band, Acoustic Fingerprints.
Cooper, a longtime Valley resident, will perform with his band and lead a show-ending jam with the other Pudding artists.
Tickets ($38-$203) are available now at the Dodge Theater box office, livenation.com or by calling 602-522-9200. Christmas Pudding benefits Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock Foundation, which promotes programs for teens throughout the Valley.
