Aerosmith Announce Comeback Shows with Loads of “Friends”

Aerosmith have announced a pair of comeback shows at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, set to take place October 29th and November 1st. Billed as “California, Dream On: Aerosmith & Friends,” the concerts feature a ton of noteworthy performers joining the legendary rock band across the two gigs. The concerts will mark the first full Aerosmith shows since the band retired from touring due to a vocal injury sustained by singer Steven Tyler in 2023 only a few days into their farewell tour. A rescheduled tour for 2024 was canceled before it began, with the band announcing that its touring days were over because of Tyler’s injury. A Citi pre-sale starts October 8th at 10 a.m. PT via Ticketmaster, with a general on-sale starting Saturday October 10th at 10 a.m. PT. Judging from a new press photos of the band, the shows will also be the first with the full classic lineup in more than six years, as Joey Kramer is returning to the fold. The drummer has not performed with band since February 2020 amid health issues and legal disputes. The “friends” joining Aerosmith at the Hollywood Bowl include Slash, Sammy Hagar, Jerry Cantrell, Heart, The Black Crowes, Run-DMC, Andrew Watt, Billy Idol...
