Monday was Steven Tyler’s 64th birthday, but he decided to give fans a present of his own. Aerosmith announced a summer tour that stops at TD Garden on July 17. It’s perfect timing for the band to get back on the road, with a new album tentatively scheduled for May. Tyler, in particular, has kept a high profile in the past year as an “American Idol’’ judge. Boston’s bad boys last played in town at Fenway Park in 2010, along with hometown heroes, the J. Geils Band. For this summer’s outing, Cheap Trick will do the opening honors. JAMES REED
