Tickets for the new shows go on sale this Friday, October 12 at 10am local time, with a special pre-sale for Joe Perry email list subscribers and social media followers beginning today (October 9); please visit joeperry.com for more details. In addition, special VIP packages (which include a Meet and Greet, ticket to the show, and more) will be available starting tomorrow (Wednesday, October 10th).
Along with choice cuts from his catalog of solo records, Joe will be performing rarely played Aerosmith classics from the band’s early records including Toys In The Attic, Get Your Wings, and Rocks, among others.

The album features guest appearances from a long list of his friends, colleagues and rock and roll icons. Highlights include Aye, Aye, Aye, which he co-wrote with the track’s vocalist Robin Zander, and three collaborations with David Johansen, who sings I Wanna Roll, Haberdasher Blues, and I’m Going Crazy, plus as many co-writes with Terry Reid whose lead vocals light up I’ll Do Happiness (with Zak Starkey on drums), Sick & Tired”and Won’t Let Me Go. A few days before the album’s January release, Joe and his all-star band crushed it at a two-hour plus set at The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, CA.
