The band has released two archival projects in the past year
Aerosmith is teasing that it’s working on archival releases. The band shared the news on social media on Friday (Feb 7th).
“From the 1970s to 2020s, we have a lot of classic Aerosmith things coming from the archives! What’s your favorite decade of Aerosmith?” the band writes with a slideshow video of band photos and “Dream On” as the soundtrack.
Details are unclear as of press time. Last year, the band released a 50th anniversary vinyl of their landmark album Get Your Wings followed by a 35th anniversary of Pump last fall. Both releases were accompanied by album-centric merchandise and apparel collections.
Last weekend during a Janie’s Fund charity event, frontman Steven Tyler and bassist Tom Hamilton reunited for the first since the group retired from the road last August, following ongoing vocal struggles by Tyler. It was Tyler’s first public performance since the late-summer 2024 announcement.
The classic rockers performed three shows on its Peace Out farewell tour in 2023 before being forced to postpone indefinitely while Tyler was recovering from a vocal cord injury. The band was also forced to cancel the final three shows of its Deuces Are Wild Las Vegas residency in 2022 due to issues with Tyler.
In August 2023, Aerosmith released Greatest Hits, featuring 44 tracks spanning the band’s five-decade career. The Super Deluxe Edition is presented in premium book-style sleeves, includes four black-and-white lithographs, and boasts stunning live photography as well as iconic and rarely seen photos of the band chronicling their ascent from a local Boston band to the global megastars of today.
Celebrating their 50th anniversary, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame members Aerosmith has sold more than 150 million albums and streamed billions of times around the world, produced genre-defining music videos such as “Amazing,” “Crazy,” “Janie’s Got A Gun,” “Livin’ on the Edge,” and “Love in an Elevator,” and launched extravagant record-shattering global tours, most recently with their smash hit Las Vegas residency. The band has broken numerous boundaries, including becoming the first rock band with a massive commercially successful hip-hop collaboration with Run-DMC on “Walk This Way” and the first hard rock band to appear during a Super Bowl Halftime Show with their 2001 performance, and in 1999, Aerosmith became the first band to have their own themed attraction at Disney World in Florida and later Paris with the launch of the Rock ‘N’ Roller coaster starring Aerosmith.
