Aerosmith reschedules Columbus concert after farewell tour delays
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- One of the legendary American rock bands will finally be coming back to Columbus after multiple delays for its farewell tour.
Aerosmith announced it has a new date for its concert in central Ohio with special guests The Black Crowes for its "Peace Out" farewell tour. The show will be at the Schottenstein Center on Jan. 13, 2025.
The original concert date was Jan. 23, 2024 but a September concert where lead vocalist Steven Tyler suffered vocal cord damage forced numerous shows to be postponed.
This is the first time since 2012 Aerosmith will perform in Columbus. Tickets for the concert go on sale on Friday, April 12 at 10 a.m. Anyone who purchased tickets for the previously scheduled show will have those tickets honored. Those with previous tickets will receive more information at a later date.
Aerosmith will have two other Ohio shows prior to its stop in Columbus when the band goes to Cleveland on Sept. 29 followed by a Cincinnati concert on Oct. 17.
Formed in 1970, the Boston-based rock group is the best selling American rock band of all time with four Grammy Awards and a 2001 induction in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The band is also part of a select group of performers to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show when they headlined the Super Bowl XXV halftime show in 2001 with NSYNC, Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, and Nelly.
