Aerosmith Previously Announced This Would Be Their Farewell Tour
Back in May, Aerosmith announced their plans to embark on their final tour. After 50 years of touring, they felt it was time to say “farewell” to life on the road.
“PEACE OUT! After 50 years, 10 world tours, and playing for over 100 million fans… It’s time for one last go!” the band said.
The tour just started on September 2 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Their last show was originally scheduled for January 26, 2024 in Montreal, Quebec at the Bell Centre. But now with the postponements factored in, their tour will extend a bit further into 2024.
