Nita Strauss Rejoins Alice Cooper for Raiders Halftime Set
Strauss joined Cooper at Allegiant Stadium on October 4, ahead of her scheduled November and December Las Vegas appearances.
Nita Strauss played with Alice Cooper at Allegiant Stadium on October 4, 2026, during halftime of the Las Vegas Raiders’ game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The appearance preceded her previously announced November and December shows with Cooper.
Three songs at Allegiant Stadium
The set featured School’s Out, I’m Eighteen and No More Mr. Nice Guy. Drummer Glen Sobel and members of the Raiders House Band also took part, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s on-site report.
The announced Las Vegas dates
Cooper’s September 11 announcement named Strauss for Welcome To Our Nightmare, his Las Vegas collaboration with Criss Angel, on November 27–28 and December 4–5, 2026.
That same announcement has Anna Cara continuing on Alice’s Attic dates from October 27 through November 21. The halftime appearance therefore should not be read as confirmation that Strauss has already resumed the full touring schedule.
For Cooper’s guitar audience, the news is the performance itself: Strauss and Cooper were back onstage together before those later bookings. What should they play next?
