Aerosmith has Denver in their sights, and they’re bringing ZZ Top with them.
Let the parade of summer concert announcements roll on: Rock and Roll Hall of Famers will launch a three-month summer tour on June 10, including an Aug. 1 date at in Greenwood Village with eminently grizzled classic rockers .
It’s Aerosmith’s first area show since Jan. 2006, when the multi-platinum rockers sold out the Pepsi Center. Tickets for the “Guitar Hero”-sponsored tour are on sale at livenation.com at 10 a.m. Friday, with a public on-sale at 10 a.m. April 25.
“I have always been a huge fan of ZZ Top,” Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry said in a press release. “I toured with them with the Joe Perry Project, and those shows were unforgettable.”
Hard-rock heads also get their fix at the just-announced concert at on Aug. 11, where the legendary U.K. band will play its “British Steel” album in its entirety. Tickets for that show are on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday by calling 877-598-6659 or visiting the Fillmore Auditorium box office or livenation.com ($44.50-$79.50).
