One of rock music's greatest ever bands is coming to Georgia next spring to perform a grand concert in front of thousands of dedicated fans at the country's newest performance venue, the Black Sea Arena.

On May 20, 2017 the Black Sea Arena near the western Black Sea coast will host a one-of show by Aerosmith. The band, led by legendary icon Steven Tyler, is regarded as many as the best-selling American hard rock band of all time.

The five-members band will perform in Georgia as part of their 2017 European tour, AeroVederci, Baby!, it was announced earlier today.

Formed in Boston, the United States in 1970, the group has sold over 150 million records across the world and won four Grammy Awards; these achievements have allowed the band to be referredto as "America's greatest rock and roll band".

Within the AeroVederci, Baby! tour, the group will perform in 17 European cities. The tour will launch in Tel Aviv, Israel on May 17 before the band heads to Georgia.

The American band will also play in cities like Munich, Dublin, Lisbon and Madrid in their bid to "take over Europe", with the tour ending in Switzerland on July 5.

The full list of concert venues and dates where Aerosmith is scheduled to perform can be found on the official band website here.
