Friday night’s Aerosmith/ZZ Top concert at Hersheypark Stadium has been postponed. A Hershey spokesperson said the postponement is because of “an artist injury” to an Aerosmith band member, but had no further information. The show was not immediately rescheduled, but tickets purchased for the concert will be honored at the rescheduled date.

Aerosmith’s July 1 concert in Cincinnati, Ohio, was postponed, also blamed on an injury. There’s nothing on the band’s Web site about the postponements or injury.

Aerosmith and ZZ Top have been going strong for what seems like forever: more than 30 years for Aerosmith and 40 for ZZ Top. Aerosmith has won four Grammy Awards, eight American Music Awards, six Billboard Awards and 12 MTV Awards. ZZ Top has been inducted into the Rock ‘ Roll Hall of Fame, was named the Official Heroes of the State of Texas and cited for Best Group Video and Best Direction at the first MTV Video Music Awards.

Tickets for Friday’s show were $200, $95, $75, $55 and $35. The Hersheypark Concert Deal will be accepted on Friday; it gives ticket-holders a discount on Hersheypark admission the day of a concert.
