Aerosmith Launches New Las Vegas Residency “AEROSMITH: DEUCES ARE WILD”

Aerosmith launched their Las Vegas residency, AEROSMITH: DEUCES ARE WILD, at Park Theater at the new Park MGM resort last night combining visceral rock with high technology to bring to life their incredible story of a struggling group from Boston who became America’s all-time top-selling rock ‘n’ roll band. The sold-out audience, including celebrities Miranda Lambert and Diane Warren, were the first to see the epic production, sure to be known as the band’s greatest spectacle in their stunning 50-year history.

The centerpiece of the show was the 90-minute live performance from the original Aerosmith band members – Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Brad Whitford and Joey Kramer – who continue to deliver one of the most cohesive and electrifying performances in music. The band goes beyond the average concert by taking fans on a deep dive of their groundbreaking career with exclusive, unreleased audio and never-before-seen visuals from Aerosmith’s archives featured through a twelve screen media presentation (including a 140 ft x 40 ft high def screen) produced by Oscar and Emmy-winning global visual effects studio Pixomondo. Using cutting- edge technology, Pixomondo also brings to life Aerosmith’s infamous logo – the wings – which magically unfold to herald the band’s arrival on stage.

Every vantage point in the intimate Park Theater, the first THX® Certified live performance venue featuring L-Acoustics L-ISA Immersive Hyperreal Sound, will bring fans face-to-face with the band, including the world’s first THX On-Stage VIP experience and walkway that stretches from the stage to the balcony seats.

Tickets for performances of AEROSMITH: DEUCES ARE WILD through December 2019 are on sale now. Tickets starting at $75, as well as VIP packages including meet & greets, can be purchased at all Ticketmaster outlets or online at ticketmaster.com/aerosmith. All shows are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m.

“We have spent the last year and a half bringing Aerosmith’s “DEUCES ARE WILD” residency to life. The intent of the sound design, visuals, lighting and this entire experience is to be as authentically Aerosmith as the band and their fans expect while taking them both on a journey they never expected,” said show producer Steve Dixon of Fireplay.

With over 230 high-performance L-Acoustics loudspeakers and nearly 300,000 Watts of power, L-ISA surrounds the audience in a sphere of sound to convey the band’s stellar setlist in vibrant, hyperreal detail, wrapping fans in the ultimate 360° rock ‘n’ roll experience. Laurent Vaissié, L-Acoustics CEO – USA & Canada adds, “Beyond achieving unparalleled precision, power, and ultra-high spatial resolution, L-ISA is a revolutionary creative tool that allows artists to craft sound as an intimate experience true to their art, with complete freedom to paint a multidimensional soundscape in hyperreal strokes. Sound can now stretch and morph. It can dynamically travel in real time and surround fans from every direction, taking the spectator on an incomparable emotional journey. Aerosmith has defined American Rock for five decades and we’re thrilled to hear L-ISA unleash its full potential for them and their devoted fans in tandem with the inspired creative vision of Amy Tinkham and Giles Martin.”

THX provided independent analysis of the venue and sound system performance within the venue. As a part of the THX certification process, the technical team evaluated the L-Acoustics system design and its implementation, and verified the alignment of the acoustics systems and the seamless integration the equipment and technologies. Fans who attended the show knew they were getting a THX Certified experience when they heard the THX Deep Note trailer play. This deeply resonant chord, which people will remember hearing before any blockbuster movie in a THX Certified cinema or home theater, was remixed specifically for the immersive audio system used during the AEROSMITH: DEUCES ARE WILD residency.
