The Let Rock Rule Tour is the current concert tour by American hard rock band Aerosmith that features Slash (with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators) as the opening act. The tour is expected to send both acts to various locations across North America from July to September 2014. Two festival concerts and eighteen regular concerts have been announced. Slash with Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators are not expected to perform at Rock Fest in Wisconsin, but are expected to perform at all of the other concerts.

Full details of the concert tour were announced on April 8, 2014 in an interview with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry on On Air with Ryan Seacrest and through the launch of a new version of the band's website. To promote the tour, the band played a brief concert with Slash at the Whisky a Go Go on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California. Tyler and Perry also appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where they gave away tickets to the studio audience.

The concert tour follows Aerosmith's Global Warming Tour which saw the band play 88 concerts on five continents from 2012 to 2014 in support of their 2012 album Music from Another Dimension!.
