Overview
- The band posted a short video on Monday that shows Steven Tyler and photographer Ross Halfin placing letters on the Hollywood Bowl marquee listing “Aerosmith & Friends” with dates Oct. 29 and Nov. 1 and promising full details on Oct. 6.
- The teaser is a developing announcement and key specifics such as the full lineup, ticketing and medical clearance for Tyler have not been released.
- Aerosmith formally retired from touring in August 2024 after Tyler fractured his larynx during the Peace Out tour in September 2023, making any shows an exception to that decision.
- Steven Tyler faces an active civil lawsuit alleging abuse from the 1970s; the judge on that case recused herself in mid-September and no new trial date has been set, leaving legal uncertainty as the band plans any live activity.
- Tyler and guitarist Joe Perry have made limited performances and released a collaborative EP with Yungblud in 2025, which suggests the band has been open to select one-off events rather than a full tour if the Hollywood Bowl dates proceed.
