In light of the terrible tragedies that have recently taken place in the country, Aerosmith are excited to return to play for some of their biggest and most dedicated fans. The band first toured Japan in 1977 and, this year, the Boston rockers are set to play throughout the country, including Tokyo, Osaka and Sapporo.
Aerosmith’s fall 2011 tour of Japan kicks off November 22nd in Kanazawa at Ishikawa Sogo Sports Center.
“Our prayers are with all of our Japanese fans and the people of Japan,” says guitarist Joe Perry. “They can use all of our prayers and whatever help we can give. We can’t wait to be there and play for the people who have supported us for the past 40 years. Our fans know how much we love them and we are eager to return and give them the show of a lifetime, especially after the tragedy they have recently been through.”
"Every time we've come to Japan we've had a great time,” adds bassist Tom Hamilton. “We'll do our best to bring a show that meets the high expectations of our Japanese fans. Let's Rock!”
Tickets for the tour will go on sale beginning July 23rd with presales TBD. VIP experience packages which may include meet and greets, backstage tours, early entry passes, and premium seating and/or merchandise are available through www.AeroForceOne.com or by calling +1-508-791-6710 in the United States between 9am and 5pm Eastern Time.
