The rock world is bracing for a moment it never thought it would see again. After more than a decade away from the stage, Aerosmith is returning with brand-new music — and this time, it’s more than just a comeback. The legendary band has officially announced **“Night of Gratitude 2025,”** a global tour unlike any other. Rather than centering on themselves, Aerosmith is hitting the road to pay tribute to their friend, peer, and inspiration: **Ozzy Osbourne**, the Prince of Darkness.
This once-in-a-lifetime event will unite some of the biggest names in rock and heavy metal. Joining Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton, and Joey Kramer will be an all-star lineup of guests who’ve each been shaped by Ozzy’s influence. **James Hetfield** of Metallica, **Brian Johnson** of AC/DC, **Alice Cooper**, and **Slash** of Guns N’ Roses will take the stage to deliver a powerful, collaborative experience that blends their iconic sounds with Ozzy’s timeless spirit.
Each show will be more than just a concert — it will be a **thunderous celebration**. Expect reimagined versions of Sabbath classics, blistering guitar duels, unexpected collaborations, and heartfelt tributes to a man who helped define an entire genre. The setlist is rumored to include “Crazy Train,” “Paranoid,” “Dream On,” and a finale featuring all artists on stage in a united salute.
The tour will kick off in London before traveling through Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and Australia. For fans who grew up on the raw power of rock, “Night of Gratitude” is a historic convergence — a loud, defiant thank-you to a legend whose darkness lit the way for generations. As Steven Tyler said in a statement: *“This isn’t goodbye. This is a thank you, Ozzy.”*
