Take two: Aerosmith will try once again to say goodbye with new, rescheduled dates for the band’s Peace Out farewell tour with The Black Crowes. The classic rockers were due to hang it up last year but postponed the tour three shows in as Steven Tyler recovered from vocal cord damage.
The Peace Out tour will resume on September 20th with a newly added show in Pittsburgh featuring opener Teddy Swims instead of The Black Crowes. Aerosmith has also added new concerts in Philadelphia (9/23) and Orlando (2/11) to the tour, now set to run until February 26th, 2025 when it closes in Buffalo, NY. Of note, the adjusted tour dates include a homecoming show in Boston on New Year’s Eve.
All previously purchased tickets will be honored on the rescheduled dates. Ticket=holders will receive more information today, April 10th. Tickets for the rescheduled dates and newly announced shows go on sale on Friday, April 12th at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster. See below for a detailed list of tour dates.
Aerosmith was barely a week into its farewell tour when Tyler’s vocal issues forced the band to hit pause. The tour will celebrate the band’s 50-plus-year run with hits from throughout its career. In an announcement video shared last year, Aerosmith confronted hesitance from the public to believe the “farewell tour” gambit, with Tyler quipping, “And if you think we’re joking, dream on.”
Along with last year’s announcement, Aerosmith shared that drummer Joey Kramer, who sat out the band’s 2022 Las Vegas residency, will not join the band on tour: “While Joey Kramer remains a beloved founding member of Aerosmith, he has regrettably made the decision to sit out the currently scheduled touring dates to focus his full attention on his family and health. Joey’s unmistakable and legendary presence behind the drum kit will be sorely missed,” the band said.
Kramer previously took Aerosmith to court in 2020 for excluding him from appearing with the band at the Grammys. The drummer was temporarily sidelined from the band’s Las Vegas residency due to injury, and upon his recovery was forced to audition for his own band—at which point he took Aerosmith to court. Kramer ultimately rejoined his bandmates onstage in Las Vegas just before the COVID pandemic shut down live music, but in 2022 took a “temporary leave of absence” from the group and has yet to return.
