Aerosmith announced today (November 14) their “Aero-Vederci Baby” tour, beginning with European dates. In the press announcement, the classic rock band referred to it as their “farewell” tour. Watch the video announcement below, starring Steven Tyler and Joe Perry as newscasters on the fictitious news channel ANN (Aerosmith News Network).
The band had recently announced that they were headlining the final night of the Download Festival in Donington, England. Aerosmith have just completed a series of sold-out shows in South America. Their return to Europe includes appearances at some of the biggest music festivals in the world including Sweden Rock, France’s Hellfest and Italy’s Firenze Rock Festival. (See dates below.)
Tickets for the majority of the “Aero-Vederci Baby” tour dates will be on sale on November 18.
In the announcement, Joe Perry says: “It’s been three years since we have been on tour in Europe and I can speak for my brothers that we can’t wait to get over there and take it up a few notches. Last tour in South America we were running on all cylinders and I can see no reason to let up now.”
Steven Tyler adds: “The band is unstoppable right now and in Europe, we’re going to keep doing what we do best… Let The Music Do The Talking…Living On The Edge, and living to rock another day.”
