The Monsters of Rock tour hits Cardiff on November 25 with the final Monstrous line-up of Alice Cooper (pictured), Thunder, The Quireboys and Dogs D'Amour.

The shows will be hosted by Krusher, one of the top DJs from Total Rock with Ace, formerly with Skunk Anansie, DJing.

Alice Cooper, has just finished the US leg of his OEDescent into Dragontown Tour and arrived in Eastern Europe at the beginning of November.

He promises to excite UK audiences as always, with his sensational show which features material from both Brutal Planet and Dragontown as well as old favourites.

Thunder, another band on the tour, are in the studio continuing the recording of their new LP "Shooting At The Sun" which should be out early next year.

Band members are vocalist Danny Bowes, guitarist Luke Morley, guitarist/keyboard player Ben Matthews, bassist Chris Childs and drummer Harry James.

The Monsters of Rock Tour will be the only UK dates for The Quireboys in 2002. The band line-up is Spike - vocals, Guy Griffin and Luke Bossendorfer - guitars, Nigel Mogg on bass, Keith Wear on keyboards and Jason Bonham on drums.

The Dogs D'Amour were formed in 1983 by Tyla. The band's current album is OEHappy Even After which came out last year. They will be recording some of the shows on this tour for a live album early next year.

Dogs D'Amour are really excited to have replaced LA Guns at such short notice - The Monsters of Rock Tour marks the first time they have toured in the UK since 1994.
