Peace Out: The Farewell Tour is the ongoing final concert tour by American rock band Aerosmith. The tour began on September 2, 2023, in Philadelphia and is set to conclude on February 26, 2025 in Buffalo, New York. The Black Crowes are the opening act for the tour.^[1]

Background[edit]

On May 1, 2023, Aerosmith announced the farewell tour on Instagram stating, "PEACE OUT! After 50 years, 10 world tours, and playing for over 100 million fans… It's time for one last go!"^[2] A video announcement about the tour was also made featuring celebrities such as Terry Crews, Ringo Starr, Eminem, Kelly Clarkson, Slash, Bill Burr, Dolly Parton and others all in disbelief about the farewell tour. Joey Kramer will not be a part of this tour to "focus his full attention on his family and health."^[3] The band initially postponed several shows on their tour on September 11, 2023, after Tyler suffered vocal cord damage and received doctors' orders not to sing for at least 30 days,^[4] but further postponed their tour to 2024 after Tyler's vocal injury was found to be worse than initially thought.^[5]^[6]^[7]

On April 10, 2024 the band announced 39 all-new dates for the tour. The Black Crowes are set to return as the tour's opening act, and the tour will begin in Pittsburgh on September 20, 2024.^[8]

Show synopsis[edit]

The stage is in the shape of an A with "flanked inflatable wings", and also features ramps and walkways. The show begins with "Back in the Saddle" and finishes with "Walk This Way". During, "Toys in the Attic", they recreated the Toys in the Attic album cover by releasing inflatable toys from the ceiling. The show is two hours long.^[9]

Critical reception[edit]

Shaun Brady of The Philadelphia Inquirer attended the opening show in Philadelphia and said, "Aerosmith's major strength is their ability to make such a grand-scale performance feel like a raw and raucous club date. Even after however many thousands of performances, the boys from Boston never came off as jaundiced professionals, their chemistry forever loose and sleazy, the cracks and tatters showing in Tyler's voice adding to the alluringly rough edges."^[9] Writing for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Mike Palm wrote, "If Wednesday night's concert was truly Aerosmith's last show in Pittsburgh, the veteran rockers from Boston went out with a blast — of music and confetti."^[10]
