LOS ANGELES, California – Aerosmith will be on tour for the last time to celebrate more than 50 years as rock stars.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee band announced Monday the dates of his farewell tour called “Peace Out” which will begin on September 2 in Philadelphia.
The tour will take the band to New York City for a show on Friday, January 19 at the Madison Square Garden.
The 40-date tour includes a stop in the band’s hometown of Boston on New Year’s Eve. His last scheduled date is January 26, 2024 in Montreal.
“I think it’s about time,” guitarist Joe Perry said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Perry said the group, which includes vocalist Steven Tyler, bassist Tom Hamilton, drummer Joey Kramer and guitarist Brad Whitford, learned from staging and producing at their recent Las Vegas residency.
Perry thinks this is the time to say goodbye, especially since all of the founding members of the band are in their 70s. Tyler, 75, is the oldest of the group.
“It’s kind of an opportunity to celebrate 50 years that we’ve been here,” Perry said. “You never know how much longer everyone will be healthy to do this… It’s been a while since we’ve done a real tour. We did that series of concerts in Las Vegas, which was great. It was fun, but (we’re) a little anxious to get back on the road.”
Tyler and Perry said the band hopes to delve into their extensive catalog of rock classics, which includes hits like “Crazy,” “Janie’s Got a Gun” and “Livin’ on the Edge.”
THE INFLUENCE OF AEROSMITH ON MUSIC
Founded in 1970, Aerosmith has won four Grammy Awards over the years. The band broke boundaries by mixing rock and hip hop with their epic collaboration with Run-DMC for “Walk This Way.”
Aerosmith performed at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2001 and even had its own ride at Disney World amusement park in Florida in 1999 and later in Paris with the launch of the “Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith” attraction. ”.
“We are going to open Pandora’s box one last time to introduce our fans to the Peace Out tour,” Tyler said in a statement. His reference to Pandora’s Box is a pun on “Pandora’s Box,” a three-disc compilation released by Aerosmith in 1991 that includes the band’s output from the 1970s through the early 1980s.
“We see you there and be on the lookout, because we are going to get all the toys out of the attic. Get ready,” Tyler added.

Perry called Kramer his brother. The band said his “legendary presence behind the drums will be missed.”
Before the 40-date tour ends, Perry said other cities could be added nationally and internationally.
