The 'I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing' hitmakers are heading out on the road with the musician for their 'Let Rock Rule' tour and Joe Perry confirmed the news in a YouTube video today (04.04.14).
He said: "A couple of days ago I tweeted that we were going out on the road this summer with Slash and now it's absolutely official, tickets will be going on sale real soon.
"The name of the tour is Let Rock Rule and you're going to be hearing a little more of that coming up real soon, see ya then."

James Sutton lost sleep while filming "uncomfortable" rape scenes in 'Hollyoaks'.
The 31-year-old actor - who plays teacher John Paul McQueen - admits he was left an emotional wreck after his character was brutally raped by a pupil and the story line even began to affect his off-screen relationship with his girlfriend.
James - who is dating model Kate Williams - told The Sun newspaper: "It's been as uncomfortable to play as it has been to watch.
"It's one of those storylines you can't really switch off, but I'm proud of how it's been received and the impact it has had.
"My poor girlfriend has had to put up with me not sleeping and looking like s*** all the time."
James makes his last appearance for several months in tonight's (04.04.14) episode of the Channel 4 soap, which sees him locked up in prison for assaulting his student attacker, Finn O'Connor, in a bid for revenge.
However the former 'Emmerdale' star also revealed that when John Paul returns to screens later this spring, his nightmare will continue.
James teased: "Something happens in prison and he has to deal with it outside. He comes back with a lot on his mind."

James 'Arg' Argent is getting fit in a bid to win over ex-girlfriend Lydia Bright.
'The Only Way Is Essex' star was left in shock when his first love - who left the show in 2012 - made a surprise return in Wednesday night's series finale (02.04.14), and now he wants to shed the pounds ahead of the cast's annual trip to Marbella, Spain, where he plans to woo her.
Arg told The Sun newspaper: "I've got a new motivation at the moment. When you see your ex-girlfriend, whether you get back with her or not, you want to look good.
"When it comes to Marbella I want to have a good body, I want to be confident. I want to be walking around Puerto Banus like I own the place!"
Arg recently revealed in his new book, 'Living It Arg', that he cheated on Lydia with former 'TOWIE' co-star Amy Childs towards the end of their four year relationship.
He admits that sharing a kiss with Amy at an ITV party is still his biggest regret and that if given another chance, his maturity would make him a better boyfriend to Lydia.
He explained: "I'm single at the moment, I suppose she is. I'm in a lot stronger position and better place than what I was and I like to think I'm more mature than when I was with Lydia when I was too young."
Meanwhile, Arg claims Lydia has not yet been "100 per cent" confirmed for future series, but he will be "prepared" if she does return for good.

Lee Ryan has spoken out about claims he cheated on Jasmine Waltz with a man.
The 'Blue' star was recently accused of cheating by his ex-girlfriend - whom he met in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house earlier this year - who claims he betrayed her for a man, but he now appears to have denied the accusations with a number of Twitter posts.
He posted a picture of a grinning horse alongside a caption which read: "hahaha...This is exactly what I'm doing right now! Lol...Laugh and the world laughs 2 (sic)."
The 'One Love' hitmaker also hinted that his relationship with the model - which developed on the reality show after he was criticised for leading glamour model Casey Batchelor on - had been a mistake when he posted another image with a picture of a Buddha statue with the quote "No matter how hard the past you can always begin again."
Lee then added: "very true...Life is made for mistakes. How else would you learn and grow? (sic)"
Jasmine - who developed a close friendship with former 'Apprentice' star Luisa Zissman on the Channel 5 show - sold a tell-all interview last month in which she slammed her ex-boyfriend, but she later took to Twitter to reveal the "truth" behind their split.
She wrote: "Unfortunately the Sun failed to mention the real reason ... which was that the minute I got home to LA, he cheated on me with a MAN! #admitUgay (sic)."

EastEnders' Les Coker is to become a permanent member of the cast.
The character - played by TV veteran Roger Sloman - is set to become a regular face on the BBC One soap along with his wife Pam (Lin Blakley) as they open a funeral parlour on Albert Square.
The soaps executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins said: "Les and Pam are part of our plans to rejuvenate the show's older generation. It's already so exciting to watch the chemistry between Roger and Lin on set, playing characters who have been together for so long, they know each other inside out. Or so they think."
Les has already surrounded himself in intrigue as he raised suspicions during a number of meetings with Dot Branning's (June Brown) supposed grandson Charlie Cotton (Declan Bennett) and residents of Walford are being warned as it's been revealed that not only will he bury their loved ones but he will also bury their secrets in return for the right price.
Les' wife Pam is described as a small woman with a big heart and an even bigger shoulder to cry on and she will be working on a flower stall on the market as well as in the parlour, but it's said that her loyalty may be tested if she learns of her husband's secretive behaviour.
Lin, who's appeared in 'Doctors' and 'The Football Factory' in the past, said of her casting: "Being part of EastEnders is like going to work and being with another family, I'm really enjoying myself."
The couple are set to move to Walford later this month.

Iggy Azalea made her boyfriend take her shopping for socks on their first date.
The 23-year-old rapper begged her LA Lakers star boyfriend Nick Young to take her to discount store Target when they first started seeing each other.
Speaking on the Breakfast Club on Power 105, she said of their first date: "It's kind of funny actually, we went out for dinner after this, but at first I was like, 'Target is my favourite place, I wanna go to Target!' So I made him take me!
"We went out to dinner with nice linen table cloths and everything afterwards."
The 'Beat Down' hitmaker - whose real name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly - insists there's some logic in her bizarre choice of date because she believes you can really get to know someone based on their shopping taste.
She explained: "You can really get to know someone at Target so I was like, 'What quilts are you into? What's your favorite movie? What snacks do you like?' I got some socks."
The pair have only been dating for five months after they exchanged some flirty messages on Twitter late last year, but Iggy insists she's not bothered about other girls throwing themselves at her boyfriend because of his fame.
She said: "There's always going to be girls who want to do that. And when you have status yourself there will be girls who are going to want to smash who you're smashing."

He asked the couple: "What do you guys do? I mean do you guys stay in separate rooms or ... I've been wanting to know this for a while. I've been wanting to know what do you guys do?'
"I ain't trying to get in your business. I just wanna know what y'all do."
Andrew tried to brush it off with a joke, replying: "Here's the thing, you know the answer to that because we've been sharing the same bedroom."
Ellen quipped: "Oh, it's you two. I see," adding, "You're the couple that everybody talks about."
The talk show host also commented about their "great chemistry" and Emma laughed before moving on to talk about the movie.

Jamie shook his head and joked: "Everybody got to know each other."
The trio then participated in a game of 'I Have Never' and Andrew admitted he's had a one-night stand, while Emma and Jamie held up signs saying they've never had a random fling.

Jennifer Lopez has beaten Puff Daddy to purchase Fuse TV network.
The 'Dance Again' singer and her NuvoTV company have reportedly won a fierce bidding war against her ex-boyfriend, successfully snapping up the music-oriented cable channel from The Madison Square Garden Company (MSG).
According to the New York Post, things got heated between the pair, who dated from 1999 to 2000, with both parties reportedly offering around $200 million for the prize and Jennifer finally emerging victorious.
The mother-of-two - who has six-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony - was unveiled as Latina network NuvoTV's new chief creative officer in May 2013.
She has been campaigning for more diverse Hispanic programming content and has also set up Latino mobile phone service Viva Móvil.
Meanwhile, Puff Daddy - real name Sean Combs - launched his own music-focused cable network REVOLT last autumn, which is currently exclusive to Comcast and Time Warner Cable.
Fuse has allegedly been unsuccessful under MSG, despite going through several rebrands, and the broadcasting company is thought to be returning to focusing more on subscriptions and regional sports following the sale.

Stars have paid tribute to retiring TV host David Letterman.
Celebrities including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ricky Gervais and Jimmy Kimmel took to Twitter last night (03.04.14) following the veteran chat show host's announcement that he will be quitting his flagship show next year, praising the 66-year-old star for his contribution to journalism.
'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' actress Sarah posted a montage of pictures from her visits to 'The Late Show with David Letterman', captioning the images, "You are a class act that will be truly missed #legend."
'Father of the Bride' funnyman Steve Martin appeared shocked by the news and thanked the beloved host for inviting him on his show to promote his films.
He enthused: "Wow, @Letterman retiring. He's been a significant force in my "later" career. Thanks, Dave!"
Ricky Gervais also praised David, describing him as, "a king, a king-maker, and probably the man most to blame for inflicting me on America. See you soon."
Meanwhile, David's chat show contemporaries also paid tribute to their friend with moving messages.
Ellen DeGeneres wrote: "David @Letterman announced he's retiring in 2015. It's been 31 incredible years. Television won't be the same without you, Dave."
Fellow up-start presenter Jimmy Kimmel shared a simple and direct tribute, writing on the social media site: "David Letterman is the best there is and ever was."
However, 'Girls' star Lena Dunham was more critical in her response, revealing she was excited to see what the announcement meant for the future of television.
She said: "I love Letterman but I am really excited about what this could mean for the diversification of late night."
David announced he was quitting by telling CBS Chairman and CEO Leslie Moonves, "It's been great, you've been great, and the network has been great, but I'm retiring."
Last year, he overtook his friend and mentor Johnny Carson as the longest-serving late-night talk show host in TV history with a career spanning 31 years.
