Alice Cooper spins more 'Spider' tour dates

More shows have slithered their way onto the schedule for Alice Cooper [ tickets ]'s upcoming North American tour, which gets underway later this month.

Set to launch July 31 in Redmond, OR, the outing now comprises a full contingent of August stops throughout the Midwest and a few additional September and October stops, including a Halloween finale at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut. Details are included below.

The veteran shock-rocker's North American run is sandwiched between an in-progress run on the European summer-festival circuit and a late-fall swing through Germany. Details for both of those international outings are posted at Cooper's website.

Cooper is taking to the road behind his soon-to-be-released 25th studio album. Titled "Along Came a Spider" and due in stores July 29, the set is a concept album that centers on the story of a serial killer named Spider, Cooper told Billboard last month. "Every song is sort of a letter to the police. They think they're investigating it from the outside, but he's actually woven them into the whole thing."

The forthcoming album features the cut "Vengeance is Mine," which is streaming at Cooper's MySpace page.

Born Vincent Damon Furnier in 1948, Cooper broke into the music business in the late '60s. He scored his first hit with the cut "I'm Eighteen," featured on 1971's "Love It to Death."
