Popular Massachusetts Band Charges Roughly $2 Million to Perform at Events

A few legendary bands and musical artists are on their "farewell tour." Of course when you hear the term "farewell tour" you probably automatically think that it's a marketing trick for a big cash grab. Artists like Ozzy Osbourne, Kiss, and Cher (to name a few) have announced farewell tours only to return in the future with more tours that last for several years, even decades.

2024 has more musical artists that are planning on wrapping up touring performances including Foreigner, The B-52's, and Gladys Knight but again, nobody knows if these final tours will stick or if any of these groups will come out of retirement right away which in the end may be a good thing for rabid fans of these groups.

A Massachusetts Band is Calling it Quits from Live Touring in Early 2025

Another band that is calling it quits is Boston rockers Aerosmith. The band rescheduled their "Peace Out" farewell tour a few months ago, as they were only able to play a few shows before singer Steven Tyler suffered a fractured larynx (I'm glad I saw the band live years back in Mansfield). The tour will resume on Sep. 20 and will conclude early next year. You can catch the bad boys from Boston in Massachusetts when they play TD Garden in Boston on Dec. 31.
