Aerosmith have announced a 50th Anniversary show. The news comes in the wake of yesterday's performance at the annual Grammy Awards Ceremony.

The show, billed under the banner 'Bad Boys Of Boston', will take place at Boston's historic Fenway Park on September 18. Support will come from fellow Bostonians Extreme.

Fenway Park, built in 1912, is famous as the home of professional baseball's Boston Red Sox. An Aero Force One presale begins at 10am local time today, while a public sale begins at 10 am on January 31.

Last month Aerosmith announced a 2020 European tour. They'll play a total of total of 14 shows, kicking off with a performance at Milan’s iDays festival on June 13 and wrapping up with a set at Mönchengladbach’s Sparkassenpark on July 27. They'll also perform two shows in the UK: London’s O2 on July 15 and the Manchester Arena on July 18.

The band are also about to kick off another series of Las Vegas show, bringing the total number of performances in their ongoing residency to 49. Full dates below.

Last week, Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer filed a lawsuit against his bandmates, claiming he was being excluded from playing with the band at the weekend’s Grammy Awards.

A judge later blocked Kramer from joining the band at the show, although he was able to appear with the band on Friday night, joining frontman Steven Tyler onstage as Aerosmith were honoured as the MusiCares Person of the Year at an event in Los Angeles.
