The rocker, who is currently finishing up the spring leg of his North American tour before he tours Europe from late May to early July, announced the fall series of tour stops on his social media yesterday (April 12). Tickets for the Detroit Muscle Tour go on sale this Friday (April 15) 10am local time via Ticketmaster except for select festival tour dates.

No opener has been announced for the fall tour dates, though Cooper will be joined by Buckcherry on his two New York tour dates in September.

Cooper will also make stops at Blue Ridge Rock Festival in Alton, Virginia, on September 9 alongside In Flames, Lamb of God and others, and at Louder Than Life in Louisville, Kentucky on September 24 with Rob Zombie and KISS as part of the tour.

Cooper recently revealed back in January that he is currently working on both his 29th and 30th studio albums simultaneously – less than a year after releasing his 28th.

“One is… totally written, and we’ll be doing bed tracks for that one pretty soon. The other one is just a touch in the future, but that’s being written right now too,” Cooper told presenter and historian Eddie Trunk on his Sirius XM radio show Trunk Nation, describing his new material as “really [being] hard rock”.

The news of two new albums comes just under a year from the release of Cooper’s most recent studio album, ‘Detroit Stories’, in February 2021. The album was in the running to be the Number One album in the UK the week of its release, but lost out to Architects‘ ‘For Those That Wish To Exist’.
