Aerosmith tickets for NY State Fair could be expensive

Aerosmith Tickets for their upcoming show at the New York State Fair are likely to cost a pretty penny after the band became the first in the event's history to be paid a $1 million (£698,000) performance fee.

The swaggering rockers' fee far exceeds those of previous performers such as country stars Rascal Flatts orTaylor Swift, according to The Post Standard.

What's more, if the event, due to take place on August 26th, sells out, the Bad Boys from Boston will receive an extra $300,000, the website reports.

Talking up the impending performance, fair spokesperson Frederic Pierce said: "We're incredibly excited about this concert."

Aerosmith will be playing the event to wind down their 2010 tour of South America and Europe.

The plans involve UK dates at the Download Festival (June 13th) and London's O2 Arena (June 15th).

Commenting on the 2010 tour, lead singer Steven Tyler said: ""Back by popular demand with more spit and fire than ever before, we're coming across the pond and parting the waters as we go."

Aerosmith concert in Lima, Peru draws 30 thousand fans

In their first concert appearance in Peru, Aerosmith played in front of more than 30 thousand in the capital city of Lima on Saturday, May 22.
"Buenas noches, mi gente del Peru," lead singer Steve Tyler saluted the crowd in Peru, reported local media.
Aerosmith began with "Eat the Rich" and played 16 songs, including an encore of "Crazy," "Walk this Way," and the cover "Train Kept a-Rollin'" (see complete set list.) During the song "Cryin'" Tyler put on a chullo, the traditional knit Peruvian hat, to screams of approval of the crowd.
"Dressed in a shiny suit, animal-striped hat, golden pants and black shades, [Steven Tyler] came on stage dancing without abandon, making serpentine and robotic movements with his slight body, and with a voice capable of breaking any glass in his way," writes Daniel Meza, author of the Aerosmith en Lima blog.
The band arrived to Lima on Friday after concerts in Colombia and Venezuela, and stayed at Lima's Marriott hotel. According to local press, Areosmith ate classic Peruvian dishes like ceviche and lomo saltado at the restaurant Huaca Pucllana -- although Steven Tyler reportedly stayed in the hotel.
Aerosmith plays in Chile on Tuesday, gives two concerts in Brazil -- Porto Alegre and Sao Paulo -- and ends their tour of Latin America in Costa Rica. They start their European tour on June 10 in Sweden.
