Close Enemies Announces 2026 Tour Featuring Rock Legends from Aerosmith and The Babys

Prepare for a rock and roll masterclass as the supergroup Close Enemies officially hits the road this January for an intimate string of “An Evening With” performances. This band is a total powerhouse, anchored by the iconic Tom Hamilton—Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bassist for Aerosmith—and legendary drummer Tony Brock of The Babys and Rod Stewart fame. They are joined by the elite guitar duo of Peter Stroud and Trace Foster, along with the electrifying vocals of Chasen Hampton. This isn’t just a concert; it’s a high-octane celebration of rock lineage, featuring a setlist that masterfully balances their incredible new original material with heart-pounding classics from the Aerosmith and The Babys songbooks.

The tour kicks off on January 2nd at the historic Coach House and winds through legendary stages like West Hollywood’s Whisky A Go Go before heading east to captivate fans in Georgia and Florida. There is a palpable buzz surrounding this run as it sets the stage for their highly anticipated full-length debut album arriving in March 2026 via TLG|Rock and Virgin Music Group. For the die-hard fans, the band is offering a rare treat: VIP ticket holders can get their hands on limited-edition early production CDs of the new record. Between the undeniable chemistry of these veterans and the raw energy of their new tracks, this tour is shaping up to be the first must-see musical event of the new year.
