Every spring, Alice Cooper holds Coopstock. Sure, the name’s a touch hokey – Coop-A-Palooza, anyone? – but this annual fundraiser raises important money for the shock god’s Solid Rock Teen Centers (where young people receive music-based training and outreach). The 2025 edition should be another one for the ages as Cooper has recently unveiled the full lineup.
The event was already set to feature both Cooper (duh) as well as long-time compatriot and Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford. Now, Cooper has announced appearances and performances from Robin Taylor Zander (RTZ) and his dad, Cheap Trick’s own Robin Zander; Living Colour’s Corey Glover; comedian Ron White; and several students from Solid Rock Teen Centers in Phoenix and Mesa. No pressure for this would-be musicians, right?
If you’ve never attended a Coopstock before (past participants have included everyone from R.E.M.’s Mike Mills to Lou Gramm), it’s like a fundraiser meets a festival meets a round of golf. Everyone performs individual sets, and then joins Cooper on stage for a kind of grand finale. In addition to live music, there are also live and silent auctions.
Coopstock 2025 is set for Saturday, March 15 at Las Sendas Golf Club (7555 E. Eagle Crest Drive, Mesa). The concert starts at 5 p.m. and runs through 11 p.m. General admission is $69 and VIP packages with valet parking, drinks and dinner are $500.
