Aerosmith & Friends at the Hollywood Bowl: ticket dates and nightly lineup caveat
Aerosmith announces October 29 and November 1 shows, with presales starting October 8 and general sale October 10. Guest lineups will vary by night.
Aerosmith has announced California, Dream On: Aerosmith & Friends at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on October 29 and November 1, 2026. The artist’s news index dates the original announcement October 7, and the venue’s current calendar corroborates the event dates. These are two announced nights, not a run of performances on the intervening dates.
The announcement names guests including The Black Crowes, Run DMC, Heart, Billy Idol, Eric Church, Slash and Tom Morello. That list is not a promise that each artist appears at both shows. Aerosmith says the lineup will vary by night, with final lineups announced at or near showtime and subject to change. If a particular guest is the reason for going, check for night-specific confirmation before choosing a date.
For ticket planning, Aerosmith advertises a Citi cardmember presale from Thursday, October 8 at 10 a.m. PDT through Friday, October 9 at 10 a.m. PDT. It then lists an exclusive Aero Force One member artist-presale window on October 9 from 10–11 a.m. PDT, followed by general sale on Saturday, October 10 at 10 a.m. PDT. Those times come from the artist’s visible news announcement; they are advertised schedules, not confirmation that an individual account qualifies or that seats are available.
The artist’s event homepage provides separate ordinary-ticket and VIP-package links for October 29 and November 1. Start there and choose the link for the intended night, then read the provider’s actual eligibility and package terms. We have not verified membership signup deadlines, code delivery, Citi card requirements, VIP benefits, ticket prices, available seats or checkout. The announced presale names alone do not establish those conditions.
The useful distinction is between the two show dates, the separate sale windows and the unresolved nightly guest assignments. The October 7 announcement gives October 10 as the general-sale date; sale wording found only in commented-out homepage markup is not a current public notice. Use the linked artist announcement for the advertised schedule and the event homepage for date-specific ticket routes. This report covers the two Hollywood Bowl shows, not a broader touring schedule.
