AEROSMITH are giving fans a chance to open up for them and their special guests ZZ TOP on their summer tour, which kicks off June 10th in St. Louis (ZZ Top joins on June 21st).

Tickets are available for purchase at this location.

In each city the tour hits, two victorious fret-burners will perform before ZZ Top (or the support acts for the dates where ZZ Top aren't performing), playing Guitar Hero: Aerosmith on stage in front of massive audiences. One grand prize-winner will be chosen from Aerosmith's YouTube channel online and others will be chosen from participating radio stations. However, Aerosmith are offering the victors way more than just rock immortality for a night.

Winners also receive two tickets to the show, a Guitar Hero: Aerosmith prize package and a personal pre-show congratulatory meet-and-greet with none other than Aerosmith's Steven Tyler (vocals) and Joe Perry (guitar). That's for the winners, not their guests, since the backstage area can only accommodate winners and fellow rock stars.

Further solidifying the winner's status as a living room rock god, each opening set will be filmed and featured on Aeroforceone.com and the Aerosmith YouTube channel.

The contest will be showcased on social media sites including MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, iLike and official websites such as website, website and website.

Here’s how you enter:

1) Create a video either ripping some serious air guitar using the Guitar Hero controller or shredding a wicked session of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith.

2) Upload video to YouTube. Important: each video entry must be clearly labelled as follows: AerosmithOpeningAct (one word, no spaces) and another tag with the city you want to win (i.e. Mansfield). So your two tags would be: AerosmithOpeningAct and Mansfield. (Use the city name listed under the Location column on the Aero Force One tour page (here).

3) Subscribe to Aerosmith's official YouTube Channel at this location.

Updates on the contest videos will be made on a weekly basis, so make sure to see your entry posted after a week. If it's not there, double check that you tagged it correctly. If you entered everything correctly, email contests@aeroforceone.com with a link to your YouTube video contest entry, the city you hope to win, your first and last name and your email address.

4) AF1 will pick a winner in each city. Hint: To get your video noticed make sure your vid is crazy, cool, rockin', funny, creative, insane or all of the above-within the letter of the law, of course.

5) Winners will be informed on a rolling basis two weeks before each show. Even if you're not a grand prize-winner, there are some fantastic runner-up prizes. There will be other winners based on videos with the most ratings, comments or creativity. Guitar Hero game packs and pairs of tickets to the shows, will be available runners up prizes.

6) Make sure you stay in touch with all the contest news-sign up for AeroForceOne's official email newsletter (here) and follow AF1 on Twitter here) to stay up on the leaders!
