HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES have announced the release of At Montreux Jazz Festival, a new live album capturing the band’s acclaimed 2018 performance at the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival. The album arrives digitally on August 7, followed by CD and vinyl editions on October 16 via earMUSIC.

To celebrate the announcement, the rock supergroup—featuring Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, Joe Perry, and Tommy Henriksen—has released the live performance of “Raise the Dead,” offering fans a first glimpse at the electrifying concert and the chemistry that has made the band a celebrated live act.

Recorded during their appearance at the prestigious Swiss festival, At Montreux Jazz Festival showcases HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES paying tribute to the artists who shaped rock history through a set filled with original material and classic covers. Among the album’s highlights is the band’s previously unreleased rendition of Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades,” performed in honor of the late Lemmy Kilmister.

The performance celebrates the legacy of the original Hollywood Vampires drinking club, a legendary gathering of rock musicians built on friendship, excess, and a shared passion for rock ‘n’ roll. The live recording captures both the band’s theatrical energy and its heartfelt reverence for the musicians who inspired them.

Since releasing their self-titled debut in 2015 and the follow-up album Rise in 2019, HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES have earned a reputation for delivering high-energy performances that blend classic rock anthems, original songs, and tributes to legendary artists, attracting audiences around the world.
