The latest figures give Aerosmith a total touring gross of $514.9 million to earn them the status as the 10th rock band in Billboard Boxscore history to cross the half-billion dollar threshold, joining Bon Jovi, Coldplay, Dave Matthews Band, Depeche Mode, Eagles, Guns N' Roses, Metallica, The Rolling Stones and U2.

Aerosmith teamed up with producer Giles Martin – known for creating the soundscape for "The Beatles Love" by Cirque du Soleil show – for the series, which is billed as “one of the most immersive, state-of-the art audio and video technology experiences in Las Vegas.”

Aerosmith will continue the residency with more dates next month and into December before returning in 2020.
