The Hollywood Vampires are going to go back on the road. Following Johnny Depp’s recent trial win, the Edward Scissorhands star’s band — a supergroup that also includes Alice Cooper, Joe Perry, and Tommy Henriksen — has announced a new European tour to kick off next summer. The tour will begin just under a year from now on June 20, 2023.

Six shows have been announced at this time. The tour launches at Rudolf-Weber Arena in Oberhausen, Germany, with subsequent stops including Rockhal in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg; Olympiahalle in Munich, Germany; Stadtpark in Hamburg, Germany; Citadel Music Festival, Zitadelle Spandau, in Berlin, Germany; and Summer in the City, Zitadelle Mainz, in Mainz, Germany.

Very notable guest appearances have been featured on their albums, including the likes of Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, and the late Christopher Lee. The band has also been seen on television as they appeared on an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2019.

Johnny Depp Has Already Been Performing On Stage

Johnny Depp isn’t waiting until next summer’s tour with Hollywood Vampires to get back on stage. Even before the verdict had been read in his trial, he was in the UK to appear on stage at various stops alongside friend Jeff Beck for the latter’s latest tour. The two also revealed that they have recorded a new album and are preparing to have it released in July.

The album, dubbed 18, consists of 13 tracks and includes covers of songs by artists including the Beach Boys, the Everly Brothers, Marvin Gaye, the Velvet Underground, and Killing Joke. Also featured are two new original songs by Depp: “Sad Motherf***in’ Parade” and “This Is a Song For Miss Hedy Lamarr.” It will be released on July 15.

“When Johnny and I started playing together, it really ignited our youthful spirit and creativity," Beck said in a statement about the album. “We would joke about how we felt 18 again so that just became the album title too.”

Depp added, “It’s an extraordinary honor to play and write music with Jeff, one of the true greats and someone I am now privileged enough to call my brother.”

It would appear that Depp has been very quick to put his legal battle behind him after the jury verdict had fallen largely in his favor. Feeling vindicated with a restored reputation, Depp previously said how he was happy to be given his “life back” by the jury in a statement released to the public. It’s no surprise to see he’s already got plenty of music endeavors lined up, given his passion for performing. It seems inevitable that he will be getting many major roles heading his way as well, as, legally speaking, Depp has been proven innocent of the heinous allegations that had been made against him.
