Aerosmith have appeared to reveal that they’ll be performing at Glastonbury when the festival returns in 2022.

The band’s website has listed their tour dates for 2021-22 which includes a date for the Somerset-based festival.

The news of this potential gig was shared by @ThatGlastoThingy on Twitter, who wrote: “FIRST SELF CONFIRM FOR 2022! Aerosmith have included Glastonbury in their tour dates on their website.”

Many shared their excitement at the possibility of the band performing at Glastonbury. One wrote: “This is the kind of news we need right now.”

Another tweeted: “I don’t care how far away this is, this is the best news I’ve heard for a long time.”

The last time Glastonbury took place was in 2019 and it was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic.

Hopes of it returning this year were dashed as the festival confirmed it was not going ahead - but organisers Michael and Emily Eavis said they are “very confident” that a 2022 event will be able to take place.

“We are very confident we can deliver something really special for us all in 2022!”, Ms Eavis said in a statement.

According to the festival’s website, the event will take place from June 22 to June 26 2022.

This isn’t the first time the US rockers alluded to performing at the festival. In December 2019, the band sent their email subscribers a list of European tour dates which included a gig on June 25 for the 2020 festival before it was cancelled.

If Aerosmith does perform at the long-awaited festival, this will be their first time taking to the Glasto stage.

Glastonbury and Aerosmith have been approached for comment.
