Joe Perry Announces Fall Solo Tour

Joe Perry announced a 10-date U.S. tour with his band of friends, including Aerosmith colleague Brad Whitford and Extreme singer Gary Cherone.

Tickets go on sale Oct. 12 for the road trip which starts in Sioux City, Iowa, on Nov. 30 and ends in Agoura Hills, Calif., on Dec. 16. You can see the full list of dates below.

Perry released his latest solo album, Sweetzerland Manifesto, in January, and marked the launch with an all-star concert in which he performed the record in full, then smashed his guitar as he went with the moment during a performance of “Train Kept A-Rollin’.”

“It’s one of the best basic fucking guitar riffs in rock ’n’ roll,” Perry told Rolling Stone after the concert. “We hit every fucking version of the E chord that you could imagine. Everything was screaming; the amps were going. I didn’t know what else to do. All of a sudden my guitar was in pieces. ... It was a really a nice guitar, and the guy who made it for me was in the front row. That’s why I’m feeling bad about it. It was not anything I planned. It was just that the energy was overwhelming.”

Aerosmith recently announced a Las Vegas residency starting in April 2019. Ahead of the announcement, Perry predicted the concerts would be “something different.“

"I feel like we’ve been out of the wind for a while and it seems like it would be a really cool thing to bring some of the history back, so the production is gonna look like that," he said. "But without losing what we are: a hardcore rock 'n' roll band. We’re having almost weekly conversations about the production and how we’re gonna keep it true and honest to the heartbeat of the rock 'n' roll that we play, but still add an element that people will want to see. I haven’t been this excited about a project with Aerosmith in quite a while.”
