AEROSMITH Return To Road: Route Of All Evil Tour With MÖTLEY CRÜE

Aerosmith - America's Greatest Rock 'N' Roll Band - will return to the road September 14th with Mötley Crüe -America's Most Notorious Rock Band - to spawn what is the ultimate must-see rock event of 2006: a massive North

American tour of predominantly outdoor amphitheatres. Bigger, louder, faster and harder than what rock fans have experienced before, the tour gets underway in Holmdel, NJ and lasts through November 24th in West Palm Beach, FL. With each band featuring all their original members, this marks the first time that rock's bad boys have embarked on a tour together.

The first few dates of the Live Nation-produced tour -Camden, NJ, Boston, Washington, Tinley Park, IL, East Troy, WI and Detroit - go on sale June 24th. Two more shows (Holmdel, NJ and Jones Beach, NY) go up June 26th. Other on-sale information is TBA.

For the tour, Aerosmith - Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer - will thrust themselves into the middle of the audience, turning the seats along the 70-foot-long ramp into one big front row experience that will enable fans to get up close and personal with rock's quintessential live act. Aerosmith were most recently on the road with their hugely successful and wildly acclaimed Rockin' The Joint tour, which packed arenas from October '05 through February '06 in what critics called "an exultant return," "a wet, wild and totally sweat-filled night" and "a testosterone-charged set of their patented blues-soaked rock."

Coming off one of the most successful tours of 2005, Mötley Crüe is bringing a whole new bag of tricks out this year, with massive production and pyro, determined to out-do themselves in the decadent Mötley fashion. Major surprises are in store from the world's most infamous rock band. "As comebacks go, this one is monstrous," Rolling Stone said of their wildly successful Red, White & Crue tour, and this year proves to be even bigger.

About Aerosmith:

For more than 30 years, Aerosmith has defined American Rock 'n' Roll. Just a brief overview of their remarkable career is truly mind-boggling: over 100 million albums sold, induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, countless awards (4 Grammy Awards, 8 American Music Awards, 6 Billboard

Awards, and 12 MTV Awards), and a diehard "Blue Army" fan-base numbering in the millions worldwide. The members of Aerosmith remain creatively vital, and are the platinum standard for artistic and commercial success in the music business. Through it all they have defeated the odds, silenced their critics and have undeniably withstood the test of time. The most convenient way for fan club members to buy tickets and access tour information is through the AF1 web site, www.aeroforceone.com. AF1 members can purchase a variety of fan experience packages that include tickets, backstage tours, pre-concert parties with prizes, and exclusive AF1 memorabilia.

About Mötley Crüe:

Rock's most notorious bad boys, Mötley Crüe, have sold more than 40 million albums worldwide, documented their quintessentially decadent lifestyle in their best-selling 2001 autobiography and soon-to-be feature film, The Dirt, and had one of the top-grossing tours of 2005, with all four original members reuniting to play before an estimated one million people in the U.S. Tommy Lee, Mick Mars, Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx first joined forces in 1981, their albums generating such iconic singles as 'Smokin' In The Boys Room', 'Girls Girls Girls', 'Dr. Feelgood' and 'Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)'. As one of the most indulgent bands in history, their reckless lifestyle eventually took its toll, and they disbanded in 1999. With their reunion six years later, Mötley Crüe released the double-platinum Red, White & Crüe and spent most of 2005 on the road for their Carnival Of Sins tour.
