Fresh off his headline-making defamation trial ,  Johnny Depp  will be joining his  Hollywood Vampires  bandmates on a tour of Europe.

On Wednesday, the band announced its six-date run, which kicks off almost exactly one year from now. “The Hollywood Vampires are BACK!! We’re coming to Germany and Luxembourg Summer 2023! Tickets go on sale Monday 27 June at 11:00am CET. Keep an eye out for more to come…,” the group captioned the post on social media.

Depp, Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen will kick off the tour June 20, 2023, at Rudolf-Weber Arena in Oberhausen, Germany, followed by shows in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg’s Rockhal; Olympiahalle in Munich; Stadtpark in Hamburg; Berlin’s Zitadelle Spandel; and Zitadelle Mainz in Mainz, Germany.

The embattled actor made a surprise appearance  at a Jeff Beck concert at the end of May in London, performing their 2020 John Lennon remake “Isolation” just two days after his team of lawyers made closing arguments in his bitterly contested defamation lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard . (Depp was ultimately awarded  more than $10 million in damages by the judge, while the  Aquaman  actress received just $2 million in her libel countersuit.)

Days after the show, Depp and Beck announced they’d be releasing a joint album titled  18 this summer. Due July 15, the 13-track collection will feature two originals by the onetime Captain Jack Sparrow (“Sad Motherfuckin’ Parade” and “This Is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr”), as well as covers of classic songs by The Beach Boys, Marvin Gaye, Janis Ian, The Velvet Underground and others.

Meanwhile, Hollywood Vampires’ most recent album was 2019’s Rise , which coincidentally also featured a guest appearance by Beck on album cut “Welcome to Bushwhackers.”

Johnny Depp is headed to Europe for an overseas tour with his band Hollywood Vampires , which includes rock luminaries such as Joe Perry, Alice Cooper and Tommy Henriksen.

The supergroup had previously canceled a tour back in March because of pandemic-related obstacles. “We kept trying to make it happen, but unfortunately due to the uncertainty of COVID-19 travel restrictions, it is just not possible,” they wrote in a statement at the time.

Now, the group plans to reunite with fans in Germany and Luxembourg for a scheduled six shows. It will be quite a bit of a wait, however, as their first gig isn’t until next June at the Rudolf Weber Arena in Oberhausen, Germany. Their last show will be on June 30 at Zitadelle in Mainz, Germany.

Depp has been performing alongside Jeff Beck as a guest on his live shows — which made headlines when the actor traveled to Europe to begin performing with the legendary guitarist just prior to his trial verdict in a lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard . Depp has since joined Beck again for a run of shows in Europe until the tour wraps up on July 25 in Paris.

Beck and Depp have also collaborated on a new album, “18.” They are releasing the joint project on July 15 with the set’s first single, “This Is A Song For Miss Hedy Lamarr,” having already been released. The song, written by Depp, pays homage to American film actress Lamarr (who died in 2000 at age 85). It is one of two songs written by Depp for the project, the other one being “Sad Motherfuckin’ Parade.”

Popular on Variety

The original Depp-penned tracks are the outliers of “18,” an album otherwise made up of cover songs, some of them sung by Depp, some in fully instrumental form. In a statement, Beck said that he was “blown away” with Depp when he first shared the “Hedy Lamarr” song, three years ago. “That song is one of the reasons I asked him to make an album with me,” said Beck.

Hollywood Vampires announce 2023 arena tour

The Hollywood Vampires – Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen – are hitting the UK next year…

Hollywood Vampires have announced a 2023 UK arena tour with Seether and The Tubes.

The supergroup – compromised of Alice Cooper , Johnny Depp, Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen – will “rise again” next summer for six shows in Scarborough, Swansea, Manchester, London, Birmingham and Glasgow.

“Well, it’s already been three years since the Vampires have toured because of COVID,” says Alice Cooper. “Also, Johnny has his movies, Joe’s in Aerosmith and I’m in Alice Cooper, so we have to look at that whole thing and see when we can all get a month or two off where we can go out and tour. And, we are going to be doing that, next summer coming up, 2023. I can't wait to get back with the guys, I really love being in that band. My band is great and wonderful, but playing with the Vampires is an entirely different situation. I don’t necessarily do any theatrics at all, I’m just the lead singer, in a band, and the band just happens to be one of the best bands around! It’ll be great to see Johnny and Joe and Buck and Chris and all the guys. We’ll be rocking these places, especially the UK, I can’t wait to get to the UK! Lock your doors, put garlic all around, because the Vampires are coming!”

Joe Perry adds: “Next summer it will be finally time for the Hollywood Vampires to rise again! We can’t wait to play the songs from our latest album, Rise, for all our fans across the pond. The excitement builds as we countdown the days! See you all then…remember, leave the garlic at home!”

Catch Hollywood Vampires at the following dates:

5 Scarborough Open Air Theatre 7 Swansea Arena 8 Manchester AO Arena 9 London The O2 11 Birmingham Utilita Arena 12 Glasgow OVO Hydro

Tickets go on sale this Friday, October 28, at 10am.

Hollywood Vampires Detail 18-Date North American Summer Tour

By Kory Grow

Hollywood Vampires , the supergroup whose core members are Alice Cooper , Johnny Depp and Joe Perry , will set out on their first comprehensive North American tour this summer. Beginning with a gig in Verona, New York in late May, the band will visit the northern part of the U.S. and into Canada before wrapping in Paso Robles, California in late July. Other than an appearance at the Grammys in February, the band’s only North American gigs have been club shows in Hollywood.

The musicians supporting the core for the trek include drummer Matt Sorum (the Cult, Guns N’ Roses), guitarist Tommy Henriksen ( Alice Cooper ‘s band) and pianist, percussionist and guitarist Bruce Witkin ( Johnny Depp ‘s group the Kids). Since Duff McKagan, who had played bass at all of the band’s previous gigs, has reunited with Guns N’ Roses and will be touring with them this summer, the Vampires are welcoming Stone Temple Pilots’ Robert DeLeo to the fold to handle four-string duties.

“Here is a gang of friends who came together really by chance and over the last year we were finally able to wrangle our schedules and the energy just fell into place,” Joe Perry said in a statement. “Playing with this lineup is like a dream come true. After seeing the reaction at Rock in Rio [in Brazil] in front of 100,000 fans, I know this band is going to tear the house down. Hell, I would want to be in the audience to see us rip it up.”

The band will play a handful of Europen dates between their tour kickoff and return to the U.S. in July for a gig in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

In February, the group put out a deluxe edition of their self-titled debut , a collection of cover songs by what Cooper has called his “dead drunk friends,” as well as original songs. The new edition added versions of the Who’s “I’m a Boy,” Love’s “7 and 7 Is” and the Depp-penned original “As Bad as I Am,” the last of which the band played on the Grammys along with a cover of Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades” in tribute to that trio’s late bassist Lemmy Kilmister. The album is available to hear now via Spotify .

Johnny Depp Reuniting With The Hollywood Vampires for Tour After Amber Heard Trial

After winning his legal battle against amber heard, johnny depp will join classic rock icons alice cooper, joe perry and tommy henriksen on tour as the hollywood vampires starting in june 2023..

Johnny Depp is officially heading back out on the road.  

Weeks after  winning his legal battle against his ex-wife Amber Heard , the  Pirates of the Caribbean  actor, 59, is set to join his  Hollywood Vampires  bandmates—classic rock icons  Alice Cooper ,  Joe Perry and  Tommy Henriksen —for an overseas tour next year.  

The six-date concert series, which was announced on the band's Instagram account on June 21, will see the rock legends embark on a week-long tour throughout Germany and Luxembourg starting in June 2023.  

The supergroup's caption reads, "The Hollywood Vampires are BACK!!"  

And, for fans who might not be able to make the trip abroad, it sounds like there might be more tour dates on the horizon too. As their caption noted, "Keep an eye out for more to come."   

Throughout Johnny's defamation trial, the Hollywood Vampires voiced their support for their fellow bandmate on their shared Instagram account, often including the hashtag #JusticeForJohnnyDepp and encouraging fans to " send love and support to our fellow ‘boring old guy playing guitar' Johnny!" 

After the verdict was announced, Joe posted a photo of the pair performing together on his personal account.

"Proud and happy for Johnnys huge win today," he wrote. "We never doubted anything, we always knew the truth, and that the truth would prevail… Congratulations on getting your life back today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 

This isn't the only  rocking  news to come from Depp since he was awarded almost $10.4 million dollars in damages after a Virginia jury found Heard liable of defaming him. In addition to the Hollywood Vampires tour, Johnny also  announced a new album  with  Jeff Beck  earlier this month.  

While awaiting the verdict, the  Edward Scissorhands  star also  joined Jeff onstage for a surprise performance in May. The duo performed their rendition of John Lennon 's 1970 hit "Isolation" as well as  Marvin Gaye 's "What's Going On" and  Jimi Hendrix 's "Little Wing." 

In a 2018 interview with  The Guardian , Depp called his love of performing in a band "a completely different animal" to his roles on-screen.   

"What do I get from this that I normally don't get? I get me!" he told the outlet. "When I'm up there on stage with these guys, it's that feeling I had as a kid. It's freedom. In movies someone is always telling you what to do, but here I have the freedom that my day job doesn't allow. Most important, it's really f--king fun."

I bought the $1500 vip package where I got to meet the band and get front row seating and everything. I bought it cause I thought it would be sick to meet Johnny Depp. Obviously.

Well... The meet and greet started 1.5 hours later than they said It would. Then when it finaly started, we each got literally FOUR SECONDS to see the band. We had to talk as the pictures were being taken. 4 seconds no joke. And if you want to talk totem at all you risk ruining your pictures. Soooo Meet and greet sucked.

That being said, the concert itself was great. Awesome show.

It was a great show Johnny Depp was awesome, very talented! Even though Joe Perry was not present, Alice's guitar player was amazing. I really love the Hollywood Vampires and I hope they are around for a long time. I would love to see them again with a Joe Perry;best wishes for a speedy recovery. It was a beautiful tribute to the artists we have lost. Thank you Alice Cooper. Your Vamp fan TJ ❤

Excellent show and "fun" fundraising experience! I was very surprised at the extra effort band members went to to connect with the audience. I came to Phoenix from Oregon to see the Pudding Show with my family including my eleven year old son with full Alice make up. I hope to see it again next year!

Amazing concert!! What a wonderful tribute to voices that have passed!! Alice was terrific!! Johnny was a dream come true for me!! What a talent!! Sorry Joe was ill. Great Venue!! Not a bad seat in the pavilion!!!

Hollywood Vampires, best concert Ive been to in a long time!!!

Hey everyone, I haven't been to see them yet, I need a ticket urgently, but I need them to come to OZ because I can't get out of the goddam country. Come on Johhny Depp get your band to drop on by the land down under and share some thunder. Love Karlsie T

They put on a great show and joe perry even came on stage for one of they're encore songs at the end. I was at the Detroit show so they made sure to perform some songs that had been written there. Amazing, would definitely see them again

The show in Denver was awesome! Alice Cooper was at his best! Joe Perry is one of the best guitar players ever! Johnny Depp did a rockin job on the song Heroes by David Bowie! Fantastic night of rock! Will go see them again!

The Hollywood vampire concert was amazing! I would go again, and again, and again if I could !!! There were so many people of different ages, some for Alice, and of course some for Johnny Dep!! It was just fantastic!

The band was formed back in 2012 by Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp and Joe Perry. The name was inspired by the celebrity drinking club formed by Cooper in the 70s at the Rainbow Bar & Grill in Los Angeles, that also had names like John Lennon, Harry Nilson, Ringo Starr, Keith Moon and Mickey Dolenz.

Other touring members that had been with the band over the years were Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses), “Robert DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots) and Matt Sorum (Guns N’ Roses, The Cult, Velvet Revolver). They released two studio albums, the self-titled debut in 2015 and their second “Rise” in 2019. Besides celebrating classic Rock and Roll bands covering them on the setlist, the band also plays some original tracks released on the two albums.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG

Alice Cooper’s Advice to Rock Stars: Don’t Talk Politics

Of course Alice Cooper ’s Zoom profile picture is of a guillotine. The 75-year-old Rock & Roll Hall of Famer helped craft the modern-rock-star persona by using everything from fake blood to snakes during his live performances, shaping the sound and attitude of heavy metal, punk, and emo for years to come. Today, Cooper is still committed to the bit, but in conversation he conveys a midwestern sense of kindness, discussing everything from his new album Road (which features Tom Morello, Wayne Kramer, and Buckcherry’s Keith Nelson) to the ideals of rock and roll to his history of running for president. As always, he makes a point to distinguish between the performer Alice Cooper and the Alice Cooper who does press. (The Detroit native legally changed his name from Vincent Damon Furnier to Alice Cooper in 1975.) “I wanted him to be vampiric, I wanted him to be in black,” he says while on tour with his celebrity-filled other band, the Hollywood Vampires. “I created Alice to be my favorite rock star.”

Bob Ezrin, who produced your new album Road , also produced your 1970s run of platinum releases. When do you feel like it’s the right time to call him up for an Alice Cooper record? We’ve done the last five records together, and there’s one in the can that’s already done. Bob is the other half of Alice Cooper. He was our George Martin. When he came to the band, we had just done two albums with Zappa. Zappa didn’t really care if we had a hit. He viewed us more as a freak act, whereas we wanted to be taken seriously. Bob Ezrin came along and said, “Why is it that when you hear the Doors, you know it’s the Doors? They have a signature sound. That’s what you don’t have. We’re going to develop the Alice sound.” That’s when Love It to Death came out. Then you listen to that record and go, “Ah, that’s Alice Cooper.”

Bob is the only one other than me that understands Alice’s personality, the character that I play. We would sit there and do a vocal and look back and go, “Alice would never say that.”

You’ve joked that your live shows get reviewed before your actual music does. What about your music is still underrated? From the very beginning, we understood that we were naturally theatrical. Even when we didn’t have props, I’d find a mop backstage and it would become part of the show. If there was an eight-hour rehearsal, seven hours were on the music. We really wanted to be America’s Yardbirds. We wanted to be that band that could play with Led Zeppelin. If you don’t have those songs, you’re a puppet show up there — and we would have been gone a long time ago.

I’ve been listening to the Killer and School’s Out reissues, which were released earlier this year. What do you remember about the writing, recording, and touring of those records? We were 22 years old and bulletproof. “I’m Eighteen” was a hit because it was like nothing on the radio. And then people went, Oh, come on, Alice Cooper can’t have hit records. We were the first band that was theatrical and sold records that people actually listened to. It’s when you hear McCartney and Dylan talking about your music, not your theatrics, that makes you go, “Oh my gosh. I’m embarrassed that they even know we’re alive.” It’s a humbling thing.

You opened the doors for a lot of genres: hard rock, heavy metal, punk, pretty much anything with a guitar and a sense of dramatics. Even in emo, like My Chemical Romance’s The Black Parade . “Teenagers” is a great song. I listened to that and said, “How did I not write that?” That and “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” When I heard that on the radio, I went, “Dammit, I should have written that song.”

Would you have changed anything about “Smells Like Teen Spirit”? No. That was perfect because he was speaking for his generation, which I didn’t quite understand, the attitude and the language of it. But I heard it and went, “I get it.” Very hard to find bands that write good songs. It’s easy to write good parts. But it’s hard to find good songs . The last band I heard that I really flipped out over was the Strypes. Snapshot , that album. There’s not one clunker on it.

You once said you weren’t a Vampire Weekend fan and wondered why new American bands were so wimpy. I think the “American” part of that question is interesting. Here’s the problem, and in some ways it’s a good thing. When you think of Guns N’ Roses, when you think of Mötley Crüe, when you think of Aerosmith, there’s a certain edge and danger. When you think of Vampire Weekend or Tame Impala, I say, “Who wants to call themselves Tame Impala? You’re a rock band!” I have the same problem with baseball. Why would you call your baseball team the Orioles?

Vampire Weekend is very good at what they do. Vampire Weekend were on Saturday Night Live , and I’m expecting vampires. But they had enough nerve to have two keyboards, and they’re wearing Polo golf shirts. Now that works if the golf shirts are stained in blood. If they’re totally bloodied out and they’re singing these nice songs, then I get it. That appeals to my sense of humor. But when I saw what they did, I went, “What a horrible waste of a great name.” They should have been Guys That Cut the Lawn. I think they missed the joke.

It’s probably too late for them to backtrack now. It’s so funny because I have to explain myself all the time. I’ll be talking on my radio show about corporate rock, and I go, “There is absolutely nothing wrong with corporate rock.” Journey. Styx, even, though they’re a little more prog. Foreigner. They have perfect records, but they have no danger. Gene Simmons goes, “Rock is dead.” And I’m going, “No, rock is where it should be.” We used to be at the top of the mountain. Now young bands are on the outside looking in. We weren’t invited to the party. Hip-hop was, and so were all these girl acts that are now Vegas shows. But don’t call them rock. Young bands are now outlaws. They’re not the favorite son anymore. That’s a good place to be for young bands. You want to be the kid that got thrown out of class.

Vampire Weekend and Tame Impala do something that I can’t do, so I’m not knocking them. I’m just saying don’t put them in the same category as the Who or the Yardbirds. Because I protect rock. Rock should have an attitude. Rock should have a standard, and some of these bands don’t.

What standard? There’s a certain amount of sex involved with it. There’s a certain amount of tribal feel in hard rock that when you hear it, you go, “Yeah!” When I hear these other songs, I go, “… Yeah. Oh, how lovely.” Again, I’m not knocking it. There are people that love that music.

How’s the Hollywood Vampires tour going so far? Man, I’ll tell you what, the Vampires thing is so much different than my own tour. My tour is very choreographed. It’s a show . But when I play with the Vampires, I don’t have to be Alice Cooper. I could just be the lead singer. It’s fun to be in a bar band again.

What’s the difference between people who show up at an Alice Cooper show versus a Hollywood Vampires show? For once, I’m not the focal point, which is great. Every female’s looking at Johnny Depp [laughs] , which is totally understandable. I mean, Johnny’s a great guitar player. Joe Perry, same thing. But then they start listening and hear that this is a killer band, and they start watching the whole show. Alice the character never talks to the audience. Because that would make him human. You’re never going to hear, “Hey, how are you doing tonight? Is everybody having a good time?” That’s not Alice. In this show, though, I talk about Keith Moon. I talk about the Doors. Because what we’re really doing is we’re honoring our dead drunk friends. We do a lot of tributes. We do a full tribute to Jeff Beck.

Was there any hesitancy on your end to bring Depp on tour, given the domestic-abuse allegations against him? Not at all. If you talk to Johnny about it, it was something that happened. He was just like, “Yeah, yeah, what’s the next song?” For Johnny, it was one of those things where … you can’t say it got blown out of proportion, but I don’t know why they would televise the proceedings, right? It’s because of the fame of both people.

The best thing I said about the whole thing was, “They should do a remake of War of the Roses with Johnny and Amber.” Who’s not gonna go see that? I’m going to see that! To make it even better, make their lawyers Angie and Brad. All you need is a really funny director, and that’s gonna be a monster hit.

Does the trial ever come up on tour? I don’t think it was ever mentioned on the tour because nobody cared. I never watched a moment of the trials. It was so blown out of proportion. It was such a Hollywood thing. I knew Johnny was gonna win because how many people have other exes literally on their side testifying for him? That never happens. I turned it right off and said, “Well, you know, Johnny will weather this storm and when he’s onstage, he’s our guitar player.”

I want to touch on your tradition of running for president every year. It was unfortunately because we had a hit called “Elected.” The most absurd person that you could ever want for president would be me. Now that I see who the candidates are, it’s not so absurd.

You were an early pioneer of being a celebrity running for president. How do you feel when you see other celebrities getting into politics? I hate politics. I don’t think it belongs in rock and roll at all, only because rock and roll should be an escape from politics. Let’s say I’ve got a million fans in America and all of a sudden, I go, “Well, I’m voting for Fred, and if you’re my fan, you better vote for him.” Well, that’s not fair. People like their rock stars more than their politicians. So they’re gonna vote for whoever the rock star tells them to. I don’t mind standing up against issues and standing up for things, but when it comes to actual candidates, why would anybody listen to a rock star? I mean, that’s the last person I would go to if I wanted any information about politics.

The problem is that people decide that their rock stars are everything , just because they wrote a couple of good songs. Rock stars should be worried about their next song, their next album, and the next show. What Bono does, what Sting does, I don’t look at that as being political. I look at that as being humanitarian. That’s a whole different thing. I’m all for that.

You come from a religious family, and you’ve talked about your faith in interviews. The idea of Catholic guilt feels familiar in the works of artists like Bruce Springsteen or Martin Scorsese. Is there any sense of an equivalent Protestant guilt that comes out through your own music? I grew up in the church. All my friends were from there. When the band got together, I went as far away as I could possibly go and I became the poster boy for everything that was wrong. The right-wing Christian world thought I was satanic. They heard about the hangings and the guillotine and the snakes and all that, and they didn’t count in the comedy of it. It was based in dark comedy. There was never anything anti-Christian in my show. There were never any upside-down crosses. There was nothing satanic.

When I became Christian, my pastor said, “Look at where God put you.” And I said, “What do you mean?” He says, “Well, you were the Fonz. You were the leader of the pack. And now you’re Christian. Don’t you think it’s a great place for you to be in rock and roll?” I went, “Yeah, I do.” He says, “Okay, I don’t think Jesus is looking at you and saying, ‘I gave you all this talent, don’t use it.’” I take time out to read and pray every single morning. I pray right before I go onstage. I’m in church every Sunday with my wife. We have a Christian teen outreach. But it’s not going to affect the show because there was never anything in the show that was anti-Christian.

Back to the “Catholic guilt” idea: A Springsteen show has an almost masslike quality to it, like you’re gathering people for a religious experience. I didn’t know if that came through intentionally in your shows. Or is this again Alice Cooper, the character, versus Alice Cooper, the person? There is no Alice Cooper. I play the character Alice Cooper. I sometimes forget that I’m Alice Cooper. I play this character the same way I would play Macbeth. In the same way I would play Jack the Ripper. It’s not me. I am totally the opposite of that character. That’s why he’s so much fun to play. He’s an arrogant, condescending villain, and I’m anything but [ laughs ].

Classic film lovers: See James Dean’s apartment and more on new TCM tour at Warner Bros.

• Show more sharing options

In 2021, the Warner Bros. Studio Tour created new interactive exhibits focused on the company’s recent history, unveiling areas dedicated to the DC Comics universe and the “Harry Potter” franchise.

This week, the popular Studio Tour in Burbank is doubling down on its more distant past.

Warner Bros. is now offering a Turner Classic Movies-branded version of its studio tour that will bring guests to previously off-limit areas of the lot, including vintage animation buildings, a mini rose garden and an apartment that once housed James Dean. The 90-minute tram portion of the jaunt — about 30 minutes longer than the studio’s standard tram excursion — will allow guides to go deeper into the history of the studio’s catalog to deliver factoids related to such films as “Casablanca,” “My Fair Lady,” “Rebel Without a Cause,” “Auntie Mame” and many more.

“We’re off the leash,” says Brad Taylor, a 15-year tour guide veteran with Warner Bros., noting that the TCM excursion will include time for guides to chat with visitors about their favorite films.

“We get to talk to the guests and really hang out with people who have the same passion that we do,” Taylor says. “I find that ‘classics’ guests are less about behind-the-scenes and more, ‘I can’t believe this is where we are.’ It’s just the look on their faces when they realize ‘Casablanca’ filmed here, or James Dean stood right here.”

The launch of the TCM tour arrives during the network’s 30th anniversary and close to 12 months after classic film fans were given a scare. In June, Warner Bros. announced that layoffs would hit TCM, including some of the network’s top executives, prompting concern from prestige directors such as Steven Spielberg, Paul Thomas Anderson and Martin Scorsese. After garnering national attention, key cuts were reversed and Warner Bros. sought to assure fans that TCM would continue to be handled with care.

Long live TCM! Our culture would be worse off without movies on TV

Without Turner Classic Movies and other channels for movies on TV, we’d lose the instructive pleasures of the happy accident, the unexpected discovery.

Aug. 1, 2023

TCM network hosts — Eddie Muller, Jacqueline Stewart, Ben Mankiewicz, Alicia Malone and Dave Karger — recorded new video segments for the outing. The tour will take guests into the lot’s Property House, an area not visited by the standard tour. Here, visitors can get glimpses of materials for a full set, including items for a complete Oval Office setting, but expect guides to highlight vintage items, such as a throne from the Errol Flynn pirate film “Captain Blood.”

Danny Kahn, vice president-general manager of the studio tour, says there have been numerous requests over the years from guests to delve a little deeper into the studio’s animation history. That’s why the TCM tour will for the first time take visitors to an area of the lot once known as “Termite Terrace,” which from 1955 to 1964, says Taylor, housed the animation department, a building with a sloped roof designed to capture sunlight. Animation legend Chuck Jones, says Kahn, had an office in the Termite Terrace area in the 1990s despite Warner’s moving animation production elsewhere.

How the Universal Studios tram tour defined the modern theme park

The most important theme park ride ever created? It may just be the Universal Studios tram tour, which dates to the silent film era. Once primarily a behind-the-scenes tour, the trek has evolved to define the modern theme park.

Aug. 3, 2023

Another unique tour locale is the exterior of the Dean apartment. When Dean resided there during filming of “East of Eden,” it was actually across the street from the lot, the apartment nesting above a pharmacy. But gradual studio expansion has led to the area now being on Warner Bros. property.

“That was an actual drugstore with apartments, and the studio rented it for him,” Kahn says. “I think it was to keep an eye on him and keep him on a short leash.”

The tour will also give tram riders a look at executive life at the studio, allowing them to briefly walk around a rose garden. The manicured spaces once held a tennis court as well as offices and personal screening rooms for the likes of studio mogul Jack Warner, with many of the structures dating to the 1920s. “It’s a really historic area of the lot that hasn’t really changed a lot in all these years,” says Kahn, noting the area is still in use by studio principals. “Jack Warner, when he ran the studio, privatized the first floor. That was a massage parlor that he had beneath his office.”

TCM Classic Films Tour

Where: The Warner Bros. Studio, 3400 Warner Blvd., Burbank 91505

When: Most days, 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Cost: $95 for adults; $82 for children. A SoCal resident discount is available for $75

Info: (818) 977-8687 or wbstudiotour.com

Staples of the tour, such as a journey around the backlot city streets, a visit to the “Friends” set and cafe and recent additions highlighting the studio’s modern franchise films are included in the TCM trek, as is a pre-tour reception with beverages and pastries. All told, expect the tour to last about 3½ hours. A tour spokesperson says the first TCM-branded outing is scheduled for Wednesday, with trams expected to depart daily after that date. Adult tickets are $95, but there is a Southern California resident discount available for $75.

“It feels so good to have TCM here,” Kahn says. “People understand that the TCM brand is synonymous with classic film.”

‘Bridgerton’ Takes Polin’s Love on the Road With Major Global Tour

Would you like Swooon in your inbox? Signup for our Swooon! newsletter!

Netflix is setting the Ton abuzz as the streamer unveils plans for a major global tour tied to Bridgerton ‘s highly-anticipated third season focusing on the love story of Penelope Featherington ( Nicola Coughlan ) and Colin Bridgerton ( Luke Newton ), a.k.a. Polin.

The streamer teased the tour on social media, unveiling a lengthy list of locations that the stars are set to visit in celebration of the latest chapter in Shondaland’s Regency-era hit. Among the cities included in the lineup are Amsterdam, Bowral, Dublin & Galway, Johannesburg, London, New York, Rio De Janeiro, Toronto, Verona, and Warsaw.

Additional details beyond the slate of global cities have not been unveiled at this time, but the tour essentially kicked off this past weekend in Australia where Coughlan and Newton made an appearance as the Bowral-based screening of the first Season 3 episode.

No dates have been set alongside these locations, so fans will have to wait and see when the show’s tour will be hitting up a spot close to them. Additionally, this global adventure will include press appearances, fan interactions, and exclusive screenings, so stay tuned for more details about how you can take part in the fun.

How '80s Rom-Coms Inspired 'Bridgerton' Season 3

In Australia, Coughlan and Newton were joined by Season 3 showrunner Jess Brownell as they surprised fans at an epic screening and took part in plenty of press coverage. With a two-part season, a major promotional tour makes total sense as fans eagerly await new episodes through the summer when Part 2 is slated to drop on June 13th.

Part 1 will drop a month earlier on May 16th, making way for the start of Polin’s romance, which will see Penelope accept Colin’s help when he offers to aid in her search for a husband, unaware that their lessons will have a unique effect on him. Don’t miss it for yourself, keep an eye out for more details on the major tour, and additional coverage here on TV Insider as we approach the Part 1 premiere.

Kid Cudi Breaks Foot After Jumping Off Coachella Stage: 'Never Broke a Bone Before So This Is All a Bit Crazy'

Cudi had to cut his Coachella set short on Sunday, April 21

Kid Cudi didn't have the best 2024 Coachella experience.

On Sunday, April 21, the "Day 'n' Nite" musician, 40, had to cut his set at the Sahara tent stage short due to injury, per fan-captured footage .

In the clip, Cudi can be seen stepping down on the stage in a white muscle tee and jeans before he twists his body to the side and rolls his ankle.

Following the incident, he posted to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share an update with his fans.

"Hey guys, so I broke my foot today at the show. just leavin the hospital. Never broken a bone before so this is all a bit crazy," he wrote. "I wanna thank u all for ur concerns and well wishes!! I love yall man. I heard yall still ragin when I was offstage. Made me smile big."

On Tuesday, April 16, Cudi was announced as a part of Coachella's Weekend Two lineup.

In an  Instagram post  of the updated schedule, he was slated to perform from 5:10 p.m. to 5:50 p.m. at the Sahara tent.

“On the pursuit of happiness," the caption read.

The rapper/singer filled in for Vampire Weekend, who performed during Weekend One —  with a surprise appearance from Paris Hilton  — and wouldn't be playing during Weekend Two.

Cudi last performed at Coachella in 2019 where he concluded his set with a dedication to  Nipsey Hussle  and  Mac Miller , singing “Pursuit of Happiness” to both artists, who had died the year before.

In March, the "Better Place" artist revealed he would be hitting the road this summer for the  Insano  World Tour — in support of his ninth studio album of the same name, which dropped in January — per  Billboard .

Joining him on select dates will be collaborator  Pusha T , as well as  Jaden Smith , EARTHGANG, Chelsea Pastel and Siena Bella.

The  Insano  World Tour will include 43 shows throughout cities including New York City, Nashville, Philadelphia, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Detroit, his hometown of Cleveland, Denver, Phoenix, San Diego, Las Vegas and Seattle.

The final show during the North American leg will take place in Los Angeles on Aug. 30 at the Crypto.com Arena.
