Aerosmith Reunites for Charity Concert, First Performance Since Farewell Tour
  • Tom Hamilton has expressed hope for future performances, contingent on Tyler's recovery, which he reports is progressing well but at its own pace.

  • Aerosmith is set to reunite for frontman Steven Tyler's sixth annual Jam for Janie charity concert on February 2, 2025, at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.

  • While Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Tom Hamilton are confirmed to participate, the involvement of drummer Joey Kramer remains uncertain, as he has not performed with the band full-time since 2019.

  • Tyler, who is 76 years old, has faced vocal challenges, including a fractured larynx in 2024, which impacted his ability to perform.

  • The band's decision to retire from touring was made collectively, acknowledging Tyler's vocal challenges and the difficulty of stepping back from live performances.

  • Aerosmith canceled their farewell tour in August 2023, leading to speculation about the band's future and their eventual decision to perform at this charity event.

  • The evening will include a red carpet, cocktail reception, dinner, live auction, and an exclusive after-party, all aimed at raising funds for Janie's Fund and fire organizations.

  • Ticket prices for the benefit range from $3,000 for a single seat to $100,000 for a VIP table for ten guests.

  • More information about Janie's Fund and the event can be found at janiesfund.org.

  • The concert aims to provide healing and joy to firefighters and those affected by wildfires, with a specific focus on supporting the trauma experienced by girls helped by Janie's Fund.

  • The event will feature performances from notable artists such as Billy Idol, Joan Jett, and Linda Perry, and will be hosted by Tiffany Haddish.

  • This reunion marks a significant moment as it is Aerosmith's first performance since their Farewell Tour concluded in January 2023.
