Aerosmith Announce European Tour

[Atomic_Rob]

Aerosmith are gonna do a World Tour this year, with dates in South America and Europe on sale and more shows to be announced over the coming weeks.

It is strongly rumoured that at this Monday's Aerosmith show at the Hard Rock Cafe in London, they will use it as a chance to announce themselves as one of the headliners of the "Hyde Park Calling" Festival, held over 2 days in June. Strong rumours suggest The Rolling Stones will headline the other day.

Ticket information Here

Anyone on here planning on catching any of the dates?

[ODShowtime]

You should. Don't listen to some people around here. Aerosmith still KICKS ASS live. And they're cool enough to play Amazing or Crying or one of those shit songs every now and then so you can go take a piss and get a fresh brew without missing anything important. Good times.

[Atomic_Rob]

Me and some mates including a couple of lads from Roth Army [Smaz and Loss Of Fools] are gonna go to the Hyde Park show when they announce it.

Been waiting to see Aerosmith for years but they totally overlooked Europe, they are still popular over here and a tour of nearly an description [stadium, arena, club etc] would do really well.

At the moment it seems the tour is gonna be mainly festivals, fingers crossed they come back and do a proper tour of more than just a couple of dates.

How many times you seen Aero and when was the first time you saw them?

[binnie]

Yeah, me and a buddy that I've known for years are gonna catch 'em if they play anywhere in the UK.

One of the few bands left that I love and haven't seen...

From what I've seen on film, they've still got it live, I just hope they don't put us through Crazy, Cryin' AND Amazing....

Give us the old stuff....

[Shaun Ponsonby]

They'll do

Cryin'
Crazy
Amazing...AND

Don't Wanna Miss A FUCKING Thing

But, despite this...I'll be there (most likely)

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Hyde Park Calling last year was headlined by The Who and Roger Waters.

This year it's rumoured to be the Stones and Aerosmith.

[binnie]

I can see ticket prices being fucking ridiculous if the Stones are there....

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Well, the Stones charge a fucking ridiculous amount for people to book them (It's somewhere past the £1 million mark according to Michael Eavis)

[Atomic_Rob]

Last year it was £80 for both days.

If the Stones and Aerosmith headline and its the same price, worth every penny just for those 2.

I paid £50 for the Stones in 2006 and £60 in 2003, not pleased but had to see them, and the second time in 2006 they were amazing and we had better seats.

Twickenham isn't that great for gigs.

[Shaun Ponsonby]

It'll probably be a bit more with the Stones.

Did you go last year?

[binnie]

I'd still rather see Aerosmith indoors, but beggars can't be choosers....

Yeah definitely, the attitude on the aeroforceone.com forums is that everyone wants them to headline their own indoor tour or own stadium gigs.

I didn't go to Hyde Park Calling last year, if Razorlight could have switched with Primal Scream so Primals and The Who didn't clash [or so I was lead to believe] then I would have definitely see The Who.

Not bothered about Roger Waters doing Dark Side, but are you going to see him in May?

[Shaun Ponsonby]

I'm not prepared to pay £50 for shitty seats...if it was FLOYD, then yes, I would (but, I probably wouldn't be able to find tix for that anyway).

You missed out with The Who. I saw them at the Liverpool Summer Pops last year (a kewl month long festival of headlining gigs in a 4,500 seater tent. Last year they had The Who, Whitesnake, The Darkness, plus one of James Brown's last shows amongst them). Probably the best gig I've been to.

I'll also be seeing them at Knowsley Hall Music festival in June. Bit of a shitty line up (apart from The Who), but I managed to score Golden Circle Tickets, so it should be gooden.

I got to see the Stones, AC/DC and Rush for only $20. THAT was a sweet ticket.

But the The WHO and Roger Waters would have been nuts!
