Aerosmith Plays for Large Crowd at Black Sea Arena

Aerosmith, an American rock band, performed at Batumi's Black Sea Arena on May 20. The performance was part of the band’s last European tour, ‘Aero-Vederci Baby’.

Ani Kavlelishvili, the Director of the Black Sea Arena, says it was extremely important for Georgia to be a stop on the band's last tour. "The concert at the Black Sea Arena, Shekvetili, was the second within Aerosmith’s tour program, and saw the legendary band performing for over 10,000 people,” Kavlelishvili said.

“The location was stunning, the infrastructure and organization fantastic and the band—spectacular. Steven Tyler was as energetic on stage as ever!” one audience member told us.

The event was held as part of the Check in Georgia project, aimed at increasing tourism to the country and assisting local business development in all of Georgia's regions.

The concert sold out in three hours, with fans from Armenia, Ukraine, Turkey, Russia and Azerbaijan among the thousands that bought tickets. According to Kavlelishvili, the sales show a promising start for the summer season ahead. The numerous other Georgian projects and international performers at the Black Sea Arena planned for the coming months make the city more attractive for tourists.
