AEROSMITH Teases Return To Live Stage

October 5, 2026

Legendary rockers AEROSMITH appear to be teasing an imminent return to the stage.

Earlier today (Monday, October 5),AEROSMITH shared a new video featuring frontman Steven Tyler and legendary rock photographer Ross Halfin, with Tyler on a ladder adding letters to the Hollywood Bowl's marquee and asking Halfin for an ampersand, explaining, "It's 'AEROSMITH and friends, Ross… AEROSMITH and friends!" The dates on the marquee read "Oct. 29" and "Nov. 1".

Full details of AEROSMITH's possible comeback shows will be revealed on Tuesday, October 6 at 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET. Watch the teaser below.

Two years ago, AEROSMITH announced that it was officially retiring from touring due to singer Tyler's vocal injury. AEROSMITH made the announcement on August 2, 2024 — nearly one year after the now-78-year-old singer fractured his larynx during a September 2023 show.

Tyler and AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry performed together for the first time in nearly two years at a private concert the singer hosted on April 30, 2025 in San Francisco, California. The event was a benefit for Janie's Fund, the initiative Tyler created in order to bring hope and healing to girls and young women who have experienced trauma.

AEROSMITH's "Peace Out" tour came to a halt after what turned out to be a final gig in Elmont, New York on September 9, 2023. That show came just three dates into the trek, which was supposed to last through February 2024. Tyler said in a statement at the time that the injury caused bleeding but that he hoped he and his AEROSMITH bandmates would be back on the road after postponing a few shows.

The rescheduled "Peace Out" tour was due to begin September 20, 2024 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with special guests THE BLACK CROWES.

Last November, Perry and Tyler released "One More Time", a five-song EP in collaboration with British rocker Yungblud (real name Dominic Harrison).

Tyler and Yungblud both wound up performing at the "Back To The Beginning" concert for Ozzy Osbourne and BLACK SABBATH on July 5, 2025 in Birmingham, England.

Earlier this summer, Perry hit the road in Europe with HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES, the rock and roll supergroup in which he is joined by Alice Cooper, Cooper guitarist Tommy Henriksen and actor Johnny Depp.
