Aerosmith Announce Comeback Concerts With Star-Studded Lineup
Confirmed
In Short: Thepost (Philippines) did not report on the specific guest artists but confirmed the comeback concerts, highlighting the band's history and the significance of their return.
Aerosmith has confirmed their first full concerts in more than three years, with two Hollywood Bowl shows in Los Angeles on October 29 and November 1, 2026, according to Bluntmag (Australia) and JamBase.
Bluntmag (Australia) reported that the band will be joined by a star-studded lineup of friends, including Slash, Sammy Hagar, Jerry Cantrell, Heart, The Black Crowes, Run-DMC, and many others. JamBase also noted the extensive guest list, which includes Andrew Watt, Billy Idol, Chad Smith, Duff McKagan, Eric Church, Sammy Hagar, Tom Morello, and more, with Don Was serving as musical director.
Both Bluntmag and JamBase reported that the concerts were announced following teaser videos featuring frontman Steven Tyler putting the dates and Aerosmith & Friends billing on the Hollywood Bowl marquee.
The band's comeback comes after Steven Tyler's larynx injury in September 2023, which forced the band to cancel their farewell tour. Bluntmag noted that Tyler had fractured his larynx during a show at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, just three concerts into the Peace Out farewell run.
Loudwire reported that the band posted a short video clip in which Steven Tyler and Aerosmith's longtime photographer, Ross Halfin, were seen setting up the marquee with the dates and Aerosmith & Friends billing.
Thepost (Philippines) did not provide details on the injury but mentioned that the band's comeback is highly anticipated.
Both Bluntmag and JamBase reported that the postponed dates were rescheduled, but the band said “no more, no more” in August 2024, indicating a temporary halt to their comeback plans.
Thepost (Philippines) noted that the film 'Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger' will bring the band’s 2025 comeback to the big screen, promising a closer look at the music, the brothers, and the millions of fans who made the reunion a global event.
The band's comeback is significant, as they have amassed 17 platinum albums since 1970 and have won four Grammy Awards, with hits like 'Dream On,' 'Walk This Way,' and 'I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing,' according to Deadline.
In conclusion, while the specific guest artists and details of the comeback vary slightly between reports, all outlets agree that Aerosmith will return to the stage with a pair of Hollywood Bowl shows in Los Angeles on October 29 and November 1, 2026, marking a significant comeback for the legendary rock band.
