While the final attendance numbers aren’t in yet from the Regional Recreation Corporation says almost 8,000 people took in the Aerosmith concert at Shell Place.

The rock group entertained the crowd by playing hits like Janie, Dream On, Jaded, and Walk This Way as part of its Blue Army Tour.

It was the first ever concert at the newly minted Shell Place. Although ticket sales didn’t match those of the Northern Kickoff which saw 11,825 tickets sold, making it the most well attended event in Fort McMurray history.

Final numbers are expected to be released tomorrow.
