The Joe Perry Project: A Brief History
The Joe Perry Project was originally formed in 1979 when Perry temporarily left Aerosmith. The band released three albums during its initial run: Let the Music Do the Talking (1980), I've Got the Rock'n'Rolls Again (1981), and Once a Rocker, Always a Rocker (1983). The Project has served as a creative outlet for Perry throughout the decades, allowing him to explore different musical directions and work with various talented musicians. The 2025 tour marks a significant relaunch, capitalizing on the current pause in Aerosmith's touring schedule.
The 8 Confirmed Joe Perry Project Tour Dates for August 2025
The highly anticipated 2025 tour is a short, explosive run, focusing on key North American cities. Fans should act quickly as tickets for this limited engagement are expected to sell out rapidly due to the all-star lineup and the high demand for live rock music.
Here is the complete list of confirmed tour dates and venues:
- August 13: Seminole Hard Rock – Tampa, Florida
- August 14: Hard Rock Live Orlando – Orlando, Florida
- August 16: The Eastern – Atlanta, Georgia
- August 17: Capitol Theatre – Port Chester, New York

This concentrated schedule allows Perry and his bandmates to deliver a powerful show while managing their other commitments. The inclusion of Brad Whitford and Buck Johnson adds a fascinating dynamic, blurring the lines between a solo project and an Aerosmith offshoot.
The Setlist and Musical Intentions: What to Expect on the Road
For fans, the setlist is the biggest question mark, and Joe Perry has hinted at a diverse and compelling show. The Project's repertoire will undoubtedly feature material from his solo career and The Joe Perry Project's back catalog. Expect to hear classics like "Let the Music Do the Talking," which was later re-recorded by Aerosmith.
A Deep Dive into the Catalog
The presence of both Perry and Whitford suggests that the band will not shy away from performing Aerosmith deep cuts—songs that rarely, if ever, make it onto the main band's setlists. This is a golden opportunity for die-hard fans to hear tracks that haven't been played live in decades. The inclusion of Chris Robinson on vocals further opens up the possibilities, as his powerful blues-rock delivery is well-suited to both the Project's original songs and the raw, early Aerosmith material.
Key entities and musical touchstones expected on the setlist include:
- Project Classics: "Let the Music Do the Talking," "My Fist Your Face," "East Coast, West Coast."
- Aerosmith Deep Cuts: Rarities from albums like Get Your Wings, Draw the Line, and Rock in a Hard Place.
- Solo Material: Tracks from Perry's latest solo album, Sweetzerland Manifesto (2018), which featured a diverse array of guest vocalists.
- Blues and Covers: Given Perry's deep blues roots, and the band's collective experience, a few choice blues or rock covers are a strong possibility.
This tour is less about promoting a new studio album—though a "Joe Perry Project East Coast West Coast 2025 Gate Fold 4CD" set has been mentioned—and more about celebrating the pure, unadulterated spirit of rock and roll.
The Aerosmith Context: Why The Project is Touring Now
The timing of The Joe Perry Project's 2025 tour is intrinsically linked to the status of Aerosmith. The legendary band was forced to postpone all remaining dates on their "Peace Out" farewell tour after frontman Steven Tyler suffered severe vocal cord damage in September.
In a candid statement, Joe Perry explained that this solo venture is a way for him to continue performing while Tyler recovers and decides on the future of the farewell tour. Perry noted that he "still wanna do it" and has "enough left" in him to tour. The Project allows him to keep his musical chops sharp and satisfy the demand from fans who are eager to see him on stage.
The collaboration with Brad Whitford is a particularly poignant detail. It marks the first time the two guitarists have worked together since the premature end of the 2024 Aerosmith tour, reinforcing their tight musical bond outside of the main band structure. This tour is a powerhouse showcase of guitar talent, featuring two of rock's most enduring and influential players. For fans of the "Toxic Twins," this is an unmissable event that offers a fresh perspective on their collective musical legacy.
This August 2025 run by The Joe Perry Project is a testament to the resilience of classic rock. It's a chance to witness a legendary guitarist and his all-star friends deliver a high-octane show, ensuring that even with Aerosmith on hiatus, the music never truly stops.
