AEROSMITH To Perform In Barcelona In June

February 23, 2010

According to concert promoter Live Nation, AEROSMITH will perform at Palau Sant Jordi in Bareclona, Spain on June 27.

In addition to their recently announced appearance at this June's Download Festival in the U.K., AEROSMITH has now revealed that it will also perform on June 10 at the Sweden Rock Festival in Sölvesborg, Sweden and in early July at the Heineken Jammin' Festival in Venice, Italy.

AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry had been the most vocal in his criticism of Steven Tyler after the singer injured himself in a fall from the stage last August, forcing the band to cancel the remaining dates on its summer tour.

Tyler subsequently announced his intention to take a two-year break from AEROSMITH and focus on a solo project, which in turn led Perry and the rest of the band to publicly discuss getting a new frontman.

Although Tyler entered rehab in December for an addiction to painkillers, plans continued for AEROSMITH to recruit a new temporary vocalist, with Perry reportedly approaching Paul Rodgers, Chris Cornell and Billy Idol.

Tyler's management and attorneys threatened legal action if the band went forward with that agenda. There was no public response from the group but the festival dates were confirmed shortly thereafter. It was reported that Download organizers would only offer the gig if Tyler were to appear.
