Bon Jovi, the GRAMMY Award-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band and one of history’s most iconic live acts, have announced a series of global concert dates that will mark the band’s much anticipated return to live touring with shows in New York, London, Dublin, and Edinburgh starting in July 2026 at New York’s famed Madison Square Garden. Due to overwhelming demand, the band has already added multiple shows including a ninth and final night at Madison Square Garden along with a second show at Wembley Stadium, with the tour produced by Live Nation. The tour announcement comes after a well-documented vocal cord surgery and rehab process seen in the critically acclaimed Hulu docu-series Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story. Jon Bon Jovi comments, “There is a lot of joy in this announcement – joy that we can share these nights together with our amazing fans and joy that the band can be together. I am lucky enough to be able to hold a light out to the audience each night and stand in their reflection for a tremendous collective experience – I get to stand in the WE of our concerts. And I’ve spoken extensively on my gratitude but I will say it again, I’m deeply grateful that the fans and the brotherhood of this band have been patient and allowed me the time needed to get healthy and prepare for touring. I’m ready and excited!”
In tandem with the tour announcement, the band released their latest studio album ‘FOREVER (Legendary Edition)’, a star-studded collaboration album featuring reimagined takes on the band’s latest songs from their ‘FOREVER’ album with some of the biggest names in music. The diverse array of artists includes Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, Carin Leon, Joe Elliott, Robbie Williams, Avril Lavigne, James Bay, Ryan Tedder, Billy Falcon, The War & Treaty, and Marcus King. Jon Bon Jovi explains, “This album is more than just a collection of collaborations, it is an album borne out of necessity. My vocal cord surgery and subsequent rehab was a well-documented journey that played out while releasing Forever in June 2024. I was singing well enough in the studio for the recording, but the vocal demands and rigors of touring were still out of reach for me. Without the ability to tour or promote an album we were all very proud of, I decided to call on some friends to help me in my time of need. All are great singers, artists, and also just great people. The result is an album with a new viewpoint and new spirit — a collaboration album that proves we all get by in this world with a little help from our friends.” Over an illustrious career spanning more than three decades since their formation in 1983, Bon Jovi has earned their place among global rock royalty with over 130 million albums sold worldwide and ticket grosses well over $1 billion around the world in the last decade alone.
