The Toxic Twin Towers Ball was a rock concert staged at Wembley Stadium, England on 26 June 1999. It was headlined by Aerosmith and also featured live sets from Lenny Kravitz, Stereophonics, The Black Crowes and 3 Colours Red. It was called The Toxic Twin Towers Ball because, at the time, Wembley Stadium was famous for its Twin Towers; also two members of the band Aerosmith were called the Toxic Twins due to their use of recreational drugs (Steven Tyler and Joe Perry).
Part of the 1999 Nine Lives Tour.
