Heavy metal band Aerosmith announced on Monday, March 26^th they're heading to Metro Detroit with a brand new concert during Milwaukee's Summerfest on July 7^th. Promoter Live Nation's official statement also announced the band's presale info for the Aerosmith Global Warming summer tour will be available this Thursday, March 29th. This comes on the heels of the news that Aerosmith will hold a press conference in L.A. this week.

The Summerfest release only holds info for the one date: July 7th at Marcus Ampitheater, with power poppers Cheap Trick as the opening act. (No word on whether they're opening the whole tour or just in Milwaukee.) But in the statement, the band talked about hitting the road this summer. The old Aerosmith is back with a new vengeance and we will kick your ass and make out with yur mothers, frontman Steven Tyler said in the release, while guitarist Joe Perry added Can't wait to bring this band back home. It feels like we've been away too long. Tickets for the Palace date are $29.50-$149.50 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday through LiveNation.com, Ticketmaster and the Palace box office.

In that absence, there was a lot of public turmoil as the four band members discussed bringing in a new lead singer while Tyler worked first on solo material, then was named a judge on American Idol . In 2010, however, the band returned to the road. Meanwhile, the group has been working on a new album in L.A. with producer Jack Douglas (Toys In The Attic, Get Your Wings, Draw The Line) and Tyler says the recording's been going great.
