Aerosmith will celebrate their legacy – and be feted by a marquee lineup – with a pair of shows in Los Angeles.
Dubbed California, Dream On: Aerosmith & Friends, the Oct. 29 and Nov. 1 shows at the Hollywood Bowl will include performances from the veteran rockers as well as appearances from a parade of genre-hopping artists: The Black Crowes, Run DMC, Heart, Andrew Watt, Billy Idol, Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses), Eric Church, Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains), Marcus King, Mike Inez (Alice In Chains), Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme), Pat Monahan (Train), Sammy Hagar, Slash (GN'R), Steve Stevens, Sully Erna (Godsmack), Tom Morello, Adam Wakeman, Audley Freed, Kenny Aronoff and more, with Don Was serving as music director.
The roster highlights artists who have previously performed or recorded with Aerosmith or newcomers who cite the band among their influences. The lineups will vary each night, and final nightly lineups will be announced near showtime (and subject to change).

The shows mark Aerosmith's return to the stage after abruptly canceling their Peace Out tour in 2024 after only a handful of dates due to sustained vocal issues for frontman Steven Tyler. The band issued a farewell to touring statement shortly after initially postponing the concerts on their last tour.
The Boston-reared band – Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer – are immortalized in rock history with classics including "Dream On," "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way" to "Janie's Got a Gun," "Crazy," "Cryin'" and "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing."
