Aerosmith –the biggest, most enduring and thrilling band in rock history will make a sensational return to the UK & Europe this summer, with the COCKED, LOCKED, READY TO ROCK TOUR, spawning what will be the ultimate event of the new decade. The band will play a very special, “intimate” show at London’s O2 Arena on the 15th June, their first indoor show on British Turf since 1997.
"Back by popular demand with more spit and fire than ever before,
we're coming across the pond and parting the waters as we go,” says Steven Tyler.
"Aerosmith is going to be rocking in the UK and Europe this summer,” adds Joe Perry. “Enough BS we're coming and everything is going to be set at eleven."
Aerosmith-Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer will hit Europe for the first time in 3 years to deliver a fistful of knockout, heart pounding, headline, summer rock shows.
For more than 30 years Aerosmith have defined American Rock 'n' Roll, winning countless awards (including four Grammys), performing electrifying sold-out concerts around the world and selling over 150 million albums.
Drummer Joey Kramer says, "Aerosmith is back! Bigger, better & stronger than ever! So look out Europe cos’ we're comin’ to get cha". Guitarist Brad Whitford added, "I'm not sure who is happier, the band or the fans. Can't wait to get started. Will see you this summer."
The Sweden Rock festival is the band’s first European date and they cannot wait to uncork the tour in Solvesborg, June 10th.
After which, Aerosmith take in a further ten European shows including what is set to be a magnificent return to the main stage at Donington Park for the first time in 16 years, where they join Download Festival co-headliners Rage Against The Machine and AC/DC on June 13th.
The tour then hits London’s O2 arena before making its way across mainland Europe playing shows including Bucharest, Athens, Barcelona and Paris before finally finishing up in Venice on July 3rd.
It is left to bassist Tom Hamilton to sum up; "One thing we all agree on is that we love this band and its time to get out there and freakin' PLAY!"
