Aerosmith concert chronology

Deuces Are Wild was a concert residency by American hard rock band Aerosmith that lasted from April 2019 until November 2022, with 55 concerts at the Park Theater in Las Vegas, nine concerts at three MGM venues on the East Coast (three shows at the MGM National Harbor in Maryland, two shows at the Borgata in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and four shows at the MassMutual Center in Massachusetts), as well as a July 2019 festival performance in Minnesota, and two performances in New England in September 2022. This marked Aerosmith's first concert residency. The residency originally consisted of 18 Las Vegas concerts scheduled from April through July of 2019, but 17 additional Vegas concerts and the nine East Coast concerts were added due to high demand.[1][2] An additional 15 shows in 2020 were added due to continued demand. The band announced a six-week European tour would take place during the summer of 2020 following the last of the residency dates.[3] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the band announced on April 14, 2020 that the residency dates would be postponed; the European dates were subsequently cancelled.[4] On March 23, 2022, the band announced new 2022 dates from September through December 2022.[5] The December dates were cancelled as the result of lead singer Steven Tyler checking into rehab.

Aerosmith announced the residency at an appearance on NBC's Today show on August 15, 2018. The name of the residency, "Deuces are Wild", was a reference to both Las Vegas casino gambling and their 1994 single of the same name.[6]

The show was rendered in Dolby Atmos.
