Aerosmith and Lenny Kravitz

AEROSMITH, America's Greatest Rock N' Roll Band, will turn up the temperature when they launch one of 2005's biggest tours, bringing their "inhibition-free, sweat-slicked rock 'n' roll" (Ian Fortnam, Classic Rock UK magazine) to arenas coast to coast. Billed as the "Rockin' The Joint" tour, it commences after the release of a new AEROSMITH live DualDisc CD/DVD combo, ROCKIN' THE JOINT (LIVE AT THE HARD ROCK HOTEL LAS VEGAS). AEROSMITH have invited one of music’s premiere rock musicians Lenny Kravitz as their special guest for what promises to be an evening of unforgettable rock 'n' roll.

AEROSMITH--STEVEN TYLER, JOE PERRY, BRAD WHITFORD, TOM HAMILTON and JOEY KRAMER--have come up with special staging whereby fans on the floor will have the chance to get up close and sweaty with the band who will perform on the ramps leading from the stage to the middle of the auditorium. This staging also ensures that everyone in the venue will have a better view of the performance.

Four-time Grammy award winner Lenny Kravitz’s high-octane set promises to be nothing short of extraordinary with the artist playing hit after hit from his expansive 15-year career, including his definitive classics "Fly Away," "Are You Gonna Go My Way, “Always on the Run,” "Dig In, Again” Where Are We Runnin” plus many, many more. Featuring his trademark combination of funk and rock n roll, Kravitz will be backed by his 10-piece band, ensuring that these one-time only shows are not to be missed.
