Road is the upcoming twenty-second solo and overall twenty-ninth studio album by Alice Cooper, scheduled to be released through Earmusic on August 25, 2023. It was recorded live in the studio by Cooper and his touring band, guitarists Nita Strauss, Ryan Roxie and Tommy Henriksen, bassist Chuck Garric and drummer Glen Sobel. The album was announced on June 14, 2023, alongside the release of the lead single “I’m Alice“. Cooper will promote the album with a tour of US stadium shows supporting Motley Crue and Def Leppard in August, followed by a co-headlining tour with Rob Zombie into September. For the album, Cooper wanted to showcase his live band and for them to be “involved in the foundation of all the songs”. He insisted on no overdubs as the “whole idea of this album is showing off how good this band is live”. Prior to announcing Road, Cooper spoke of it being a “concept album” about “things that happen on the road. There’s a lot of humor in it. There’s a couple of heartbreakers, but it’s very guitar-driven because that’s what I look for in an album.”
