Aerosmith sets up more North American dates, cancels Canadian stop
update: Aerosmith plans to keep its North American tour rolling on through January of next year. Currently nearing the end of the outing's first leg, the legendary rock group will kick off a second leg in mid-October, a month during which it has also canceled a previously scheduled stop.
Tickets for several of the new dates are due to hit the box office this weekend, according to tour promoter Clear Channel Entertainment. Details appear below.
More dates will be revealed each week for the next several weeks, according to a Clear Channel spokesperson.
The group plans to wrap up the first leg of its North American outing--which began in early June--later this month, and will take a short break before kicking off the second leg in Calgary on Oct. 11.
The next leg was originally due to begin in Vancouver on Oct. 9, but that gig has been cancelled to accommodate a video shoot, according to a Clear Channel spokesperson. Ticket refunds can be obtained at the point of purchase.
Aerosmith's outing is ranked as the No. 6 top-grossing tour in the U.S. on Pollstar's latest Concert Pulse Charts, which lists the group's per-night average over the course of its past 17 shows at a gross of about $886,000 with sales of about 20,000 tickets per show.
The band's latest album, "Just Push Play" (Columbia), hit stores in March and entered the Billboard 200 album chart at No. 2. The album, which will clock in at No. 191 on the forthcoming chart, has sold a total of just over 1 million copies, according to industry sources.
