Although Cooper is one of the Valley’s most famous denizens, it’s been six years since he performed in the Phoenix area on a major tour.

Other than his annual Christmas Pudding benefit shows and other fundraising events, Cooper’s last full local concert was at Ak-Chin Pavilion in August 2017 (per setlist.fm).

This is the second go-round for Zombie’s Freaks on Parade Tour. The 2022 version — where the rocker/horror movie mogul joined forces with Mudvayne, Static-X and Powerman 5000 — skipped Arizona.

Zombie, however, performed twice in the Valley last year, in April during Arizona Bike Week in Scottsdale and in December at Cooper’s Christmas Pudding bash in Phoenix.

Zombie, who has cited the Cooper as a major influence, inducted the theatrical showman and his band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011.

Cooper famously started his first band, known as the Earwigs and then the Spiders, while attending Phoenix’s Cortez High School in the 1960s.

He hit the big time after moving back to Detroit, where he was born, with classics such as “I’m Eighteen,” “No More Mr. Nice Guy” and “School’s Out.” He later made Paradise Valley his permanent home.
