Hollywood Vampires — the supergroup featuring Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen — will release a new live album, At Montreux Jazz Festival. The recording captures the band’s 2018 appearance at the renowned Swiss festival and will arrive digitally on August 7, followed by CD and vinyl editions on October 16 through earMUSIC.
Among the highlights of the release are several cover songs that Hollywood Vampires had never officially released before, including a version of Motörhead‘s “Ace Of Spades”, performed as a tribute to the late Lemmy.
To preview the album, the band has made “Raise The Dead” available along with a live performance video showcasing the energy of the Montreux show.
The concert documents a night dedicated to the history of rock, with Hollywood Vampires paying tribute to influential artists through a performance built on powerful musicianship and the chemistry between its members.
When the band took the stage at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2018, it brought its mix of theatrical rock, classic songs and tributes to fallen musical heroes to one of the world’s most respected festivals. The performance celebrated not only the music itself but also the friendships, excesses and legacy that continue to define rock culture.
The group’s identity traces back to the original Hollywood Vampires, a circle of musicians connected by friendship and a shared passion for rock ‘n’ roll. That spirit remains central to the band, balancing high-energy performances with respect for the artists who inspired them.
Since releasing its self-titled debut, Hollywood Vampires, in 2015, the group has evolved beyond its original concept of star-filled collaborations and classic rock covers. The follow-up album, Rise, released in 2019, introduced more original material while maintaining the band’s signature style.
Over the years, Hollywood Vampires has built a reputation through festival appearances and international tours, combining classic rock songs, theatrical performances and tributes to legendary musicians while continuing to celebrate the enduring legacy of rock ‘n’ roll.
