Aerosmith is one of the most iconic and influential rock bands of all time. Formed in Boston in 1970, Aerosmith has gone on to sell over 150 million records worldwide and earn countless accolades, including 4 Grammy Awards, 10 MTV Video Music Awards, and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. With timeless hits like “Dream On,” “Walk This Way,” and “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing,” Aerosmith has cemented their place in music history. After over 50 years together, Aerosmith continues to tour and perform for devoted fans all around the world.
Aerosmith’s 2022 Tour
In 2022, Aerosmith is embarking on a new tour called “Aerosmith: Deuces Are Wild.” This Las Vegas residency will see the band playing shows at the Dolby Live theater at Park MGM throughout much of the year. So far, Aerosmith has announced dates for the residency from early June through December 2022. Each stint of the residency will involve 8-12 shows.
The “Deuces Are Wild” residency began in 2019 and was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now it is finally returning in 2022, much to the delight of Aerosmith fans. The show promises to provide an immersive music experience, with deep cuts, rarities, and of course, Aerosmith’s biggest hits.
Aerosmith 2022 Tour Dates
Here are the currently announced dates for Aerosmith’s Las Vegas residency in 2022:
Date Range | # of Shows |
---|---|
June 17 – 26 | 10 |
September 14 – 24 | 11 |
November 23 – December 10 | 12 |
As you can see, the residency will take place during short periods in June, September, and November/December. There are 33 shows announced so far. Additional 2022 dates may still be added!
Is Columbus Included on the Tour?
Unfortunately for fans in Ohio, none of the currently announced Aerosmith tour dates for 2022 include stops in Columbus or anywhere else in the state. The “Deuces Are Wild” residency is limited to Las Vegas for now.
Columbus is a large city in central Ohio with a metro population of over 2 million. As the state capital and home to several major universities like Ohio State, it has a significant rock music fanbase. Aerosmith has performed in Columbus multiple times over their long career.
Some previous Aerosmith shows in Columbus and Ohio have included:
- Jerome Schottenstein Center in Columbus in 2004 during the Honkin’ On Bobo tour
- Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls in 2010 during the Cocked, Locked, Ready to Rock tour
- Nationwide Arena in Columbus in 2012 during the Global Warming tour
- Dayton in 2019 during the Deuces Are Wild tour (prior to the Vegas residency)
So while Columbus has hosted Aerosmith recently, the band unfortunately does not have any Ohio stops scheduled during their 2022 residency at this time.
Will Aerosmith Add 2022 Columbus / Ohio Dates?
There is still a possibility that Aerosmith could add new dates in Columbus or elsewhere in Ohio later in 2022 around their Vegas residency. Additional shows are sometimes announced months after the initial residency dates.
Some factors that could influence Aerosmith potentially adding a Columbus show:
- High fan demand – If enough fans request a Columbus show, the band may listen.
- Venue availability – Venues like Nationwide Arena would need to have availability to host Aerosmith.
- Travel logistics – Columbus is relatively close to Las Vegas, so it may be feasible to route there.
- Band health and schedule – Steven Tyler and the band would need to be up for added shows.
There are certainly good reasons why Columbus could make sense for Aerosmith in 2022. Fans in the area should check back on the band’s website and sign up for updates in case a show ends up getting announced!
How to Get Tickets If Added
If Aerosmith does announce a Columbus show or any additional Ohio date for 2022, here are some tips for getting tickets:
- Sign up on Aerosmith’s website for fan club pre-sales. Fan club members get early access to tickets.
- Follow Aerosmith and the local venue on social media for pre-sale announcements.
- Mark your calendar for when tickets go on sale to the general public and be ready to buy.
- Expect tickets to sell out fast due to high demand. Buying early helps get better seats.
- If instantly sold out, check back later for newly released seats and tickets.
- Use reputable sites like Ticketmaster to avoid fake ticket scams.
- Be flexible on dates if you can to increase ticket availability.
By being prepared ahead of time and acting quickly, fans in Columbus will have the best chance at scoring tickets to a potential Aerosmith show later this year!
How to See Aerosmith in 2022 if No Columbus Show
If Aerosmith ultimately does not add any new tour dates outside of Las Vegas in 2022, there are a couple options for fans in Ohio to still see the band:
- Travel to Las Vegas for a residency show. Flights and hotels can booked to coincide with a show date.
- Watch for late 2022 or 2023 dates near Ohio. Aerosmith will likely tour again after the residency.
- Watch videos and live streams of the Vegas show until they tour again.
- Listen to Aerosmith’s new album of songs coming in 2022.
The residency dates are limited, but Aerosmith clearly still enjoys performing live. Fans in Columbus and Ohio can anticipate more chances to see rock’s greatest showmen back on tour soon.
Conclusion
In summary, while iconic rockers Aerosmith do not currently have any Columbus, Ohio stops planned on their 2022 “Deuces Are Wild” Las Vegas residency tour, there is still an opportunity for a show to be announced later this year. Columbus has been a regular tour stop for the band’s previous tours. Demand would likely be high if a show was added. Fans should monitor Aerosmith’s website and social channels for any potential announcements of new dates. Tickets would sell fast but following pre-sale opportunities and acting quickly could help score seats. Regardless, after 50 years of performing, Aerosmith will surely be back rocking stages in Ohio again soon – it’s just a matter of when, not if.
