Hollywood icon Johnny Depp and Alice Cooper are set to bring their American rock supergroup to North Yorkshire this weekend.
Hollywood Vampires, also comprising Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen, have returned to the UK and Europe this summer for their first live dates in almost three years.
They will take to the stage for a hugely anticipated show at Scarborough Open Air Theatre on Saturday, August 15.
They last played an electrifying show at the venue to a sold-out audience back in 2023.

Formed in 2015, Hollywood Vampires were brought together by a shared love for classic rock and a desire to pay tribute to their 'dead, drunk friends' - the fallen musical heroes who influenced them.
Their name is taken from Alice Cooper’s famed 1970s drinking club, whose members included John Lennon, The Who drummer Keith Moon, and Monkees star Mickey Dolenz.
Since then, the group have won a reputation for high-energy live performances combining their own material with a riotous run of songs by some of rock’s biggest names.
Fans heading to Scarborough can expect a celebration of classics associated with The Who, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Motörhead, The Doors, and AC/DC, alongside songs from Cooper and Aerosmith.
Special guests for the show will be punk and Goth-Rock icons The Damned, who are celebrating their 50th anniversary with a new tour and album.
The band have released 12 studio albums, including the era-defining Damned Damned Damned, and scored several UK chart singles during a career spanning five decades.
Their latest record, Not Like Everybody Else, is a personal and celebratory covers album dedicated to the memory of founding guitarist Brian James, who died in 2025.
The show will follow Friday (August 14) night's show when headliner Holly Johnson, the charismatic lead vocalist and lyricist of Frankie Goes to Hollywood, will take to the stage.
The evening will also see performances from guest stars ABC and Heaven 17.
