Aerosmith to bring farewell tour to Schottenstein Center in January with Black Crowes
After 50 years, 10 world tours, and playing for more than 100 million fans, Aerosmith is saying, "Peace Out!"
That's the name of the legendary five-man rock band's farewell tour, which they'll bring to the Schottenstein Center on Jan. 23, 2024, with well-known special guests The Black Crowes. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at ticketmaster.com.
Despite the name of the 40-date tour, it's not farewell forever, just retirement from touring, according to a joint press statement from the band: "It’s not goodbye it’s PEACE OUT! Get ready and walk this way, you’re going to get the best show of our lives."
With an average age of 72, Aerosmith proves you're never too old for rock'n'roll. Since forming in 1970, the band has scored nine No. 1 mainstream rock hits and 21 Top 40 hits on the U.S. Hot 100, including "Amazing," "Crazy," "Janie's Got a Gun,""Livin' on the Edge," and "Love in an Elevator."
Another monster hit, the Diane Warren-penned "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing," began as a radio-only single to promote the 1998 film, "Armageddon," but due to popular demand it was later released as a commercial single.
The best-selling hard rock band of all time, Aerosmith has sold upward of 150 million records worldwide, including more than 85 million records in the U.S., and earned four Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards, and 10 MTV Video Music Awards. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 and recently completed a residency in Las Vegas.

Formed in the mid-'80s, special guests The Black Crowes caught the mainstream's attention in 1990 with their first studio album. The chart-topping "Shake Your Money Maker" yielded several hits: their breakthrough cover of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle" and the ballad “She Talks to Angels,” both of which made the Top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1991. Other hits include “Jealous Again” and “Twice as Hard." Rolling Stone readers voted them Best New American Band in 1990.
