Aerosmith delayed a promised announcement regarding two upcoming reunion shows expected at the Hollywood Bowl. The band replaced the expected reveal with a social media video outtake of singer Steven Tyler instead.
Why it matters
Fans have been waiting for clarity on potential live performances since the band officially retired in 2024. The status of these reunion shows remains unclear as the band works through the announcement process.
The band teased two potential performances for Oct. 29 and Nov. 1, which would occur roughly 23 days after the initial announcement attempt. These shows follow the band's 2024 retirement after Steven Tyler suffered a larynx injury in 2023.
