Alice For Festival: 1973

Alice Cooper's UK Tour Cancellation & Festival Plan

The one-page article in New Musical Express (February 3, 1973) announced that Alice Cooper will not be playing a spring tour of Britain after all — but he will be coming here in the summer to headline a major outdoor festival event. The spring tour, originally planned for March then postponed until May, had to be scrapped because his mammoth American tour, starting in the middle of March, has been extended through until June 3 when he plays New York Madison Square Garden. A spokesman told the NME: "It is very likely that Alice will tour Britain later in the year, though probably not until the autumn. But meanwhile, he will be coming here in the summer for one of the principal outdoor promotions."
