Orianthi Rejoins Alice Cooper for 2025 Tour

Alice Cooper has announced that guitarist Orianthi will rejoin his band for the upcoming 'Too Close for Comfort Tour' from January 31 to February 16, filling in for Nita Strauss due to her prior commitments. Orianthi previously toured with Cooper from 2011 to 2014, and Cooper expressed his gratitude for her availability, highlighting the challenges of scheduling with multiple projects among band members. He acknowledged that while they try to coordinate schedules, Nita's obligations with Apocalyptica's tour overlap with these dates. Following this short-term arrangement, Strauss will return for additional tour dates in 2025, including appearances at the Sonic Temple festival in May and a show with My Chemical Romance in August. Orianthi is noted not only for her guitar skills but also for her extensive career collaborations, including with artists like Carlos Santana and Michael Jackson. Tickets for the upcoming shows are set to be available soon.
