Aerosmith UK and European Tour Postponed Until 2022
Aerosmith have rescheduled their upcoming UK and European tour dates to 2022 due to COVID-19.
The legendary band had been hoping to tour in June of this year after their initial 2020 live plans were scrapped due to the worldwide health crisis.
Aerosmith’s forthcoming live dates in the UK and Europe have been pushed back for a second time, with the band now set to complete a series of shows in June and July 2022.
“Due to current conditions and for the safety of our fans, the 2021 European Tour has been rescheduled to 2022,” the band said in an official statement. “Please stay tuned for more information regarding the new dates or contact your point of purchase. All tickets will be valid for new dates.”
The rescheduled jaunt includes three UK dates in London, Manchester and Sheffield – details of which you can see here:
June 22 – The O2, London
June 28 – Manchester Arena, Manchester
July 1 – FlyDSA Arena, Sheffield
The upcoming run follows their ‘Deuces Are Wild’ Las Vegas residency.
The ‘I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing’ rockers last played this side of the pond in 2017, when they headlined Download Festival, in what was then-assumed to be their last-ever UK show.
Meanwhile, guitarist Joe Perry previously said he’d like to record a new album with Aerosmith “when the time is right”.
The 70-year-old musician said he was feeling inspired to make new music with the group – also including Joey Kramer, Brad Whitford, and Tom Hamilton – after his time in the studio with his Hollywood Vampires’ bandmates Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp working on their 2019 LP ‘Rise’.
He said at the time: “I had just finished working on my last solo album [before the new Hollywood Vampires album], so I had been in the studio for the three or four months before we started on the Vampires record.
“So I was already rolling in the studio. It doesn’t take much to get me going — I love to record. So, when the time is right, Aerosmith will come around to do another record.”
Aerosmith’s last studio album was 2012’s ‘Music from Another Dimension!’.
