Aerosmith performed their first Australian show since 1990 at Sydney’s ANZ Stadium in Homebush on Saturday before starting their own shows with The Dead Daisies.
Aerosmith was a late addition to the Stone Music Festival. Their first Australian show was originally scheduled for next weekend in Sydney but was sold on by promoter Andrew McManus as an exclusive Sydney performance for Stone Fest.
Instead of next week’s Sydney show Aerosmith will now perform their own mini-festival at Melbourne Myer Music Bowl with The Dead Daisies, Diva Demolition, Spiderbait, Wolfmother and Grinspoon.
Australian supergroup The Dead Daises released their debut song ‘Lock ‘N Load’ through iTunes on Friday. The song ‘Lock ‘N Load’ was co-written by lead singer Jon Stevens (Noiseworks) and Slash.
Aerosmith performed a complete set at Stone Fest last night and paid tribute to the bombing victims from their hometown on Boston during the show.

Draw The Line (from Draw The Line, 1977)
