Aerosmith will resume its Las Vegas “Deuces Are Wild” residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, beginning June 17th, with a total of 24 dates played before the end of 2022. General on sale tickets starting at $75 go on sale on Thursday, March 31st at 10 a.m. PT.
Back in 2019 guitarist Joe Perry explained the allure of playing the “Deuces Are Wild” residency telling Variety, “This has been an incredible opportunity to play a smaller version of our regular show in an intimate seating (and) a way to present the heart and soul of the band’s essence with added elements you wouldn’t have ever been able to do in a one-night-only setting. It’s something very different than what we have ever done before.”
The band enlisted Beatles archival producer Giles Martin, who co-designed the sound for Cirque du Soleil’s The Beatles LOVE show, to supervise their sound in Vegas. Steven Tyler shed light on how the production in Vegas makes everything else pale in comparison: “The sound takes everything about this show to the next level, and it’s a 360 experience; full immersion. Nowhere else can fans hear what I’m hearing and see what I’m seeing like they can at our show. We found the best people we could for every aspect of the show. Whether it was the lights, sound, mechanics, all the moving parts, we had the best people.”
