After dozens of postponed shows, a vocal cord injury and a fractured larynx, iconic rock group Aerosmith has announced a slew of new dates for its previously scheduled 'Peace Out' Farwell tour, including a Chicago stop.
"We're thrilled to announce new dates for our 2024 Peace Out Tour with special guests The Black Crowes," the band posted to Instagram Wednesday. The post, which included a mix of new and rescheduled shows, went on to say that previously purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates, and that ticketholders would be emailed more information.
Chicago's date, which had already been twice postponed, has been rescheduled to Jan. 19, 2025.
For those who don't already have tickets, a general public on-sale for all the new dates listed were set to go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Live Nation said.

The group had originally been scheduled to play at the United Center Sept. 15, 2023, but canceled the show just days before after singer Steven Tyler suffered vocal cord damage during a recent performance. At the time, the band said Tyler was under doctor's orders to not sing for 30 days.
“I sustained vocal cord damage during Saturday’s show that led to subsequent bleeding,” Tyler said in a tweet, announcing the cancelation. “We’ll need to postpone a few dates so that we can come back and give you the performance you deserve.”

The band went on to cancel and reschedule shows in multiple cities, including Chicago, where the fall show had been postponed to Feb. 14, 2024.
Earlier this year, the group canceled the February show, saying at the time that Tyler's vocal cord injury was "more severe than they initially thought."
"His doctor confirmed that in addition to the damage to his vocal cords, he fractured his larynx, which requires ongoing care," Aerosmith said in a statement released by the United Center in February. "He is receiving the best medical treatment available to ensure his recovery is swift, but given the nature of the fracture, he is being told patience is essential. As a result, all currently scheduled PEACE OUT shows must be postponed to sometime in 2024, with new dates to be announced as soon as we know more."
