Bon Jovi announce huge stadium shows in UK, US and Ireland for 2026
Bon Jovi have confirmed plans for a huge tour in 2026 with stadium shows in the United Kingdom, United States, and Ireland.
The upcoming run of concerts marks the first tour by Bon Jovi since their frontman Jon Bon Jovi underwent vocal surgery, which threatened to put an end to his career as a live performer.
Bon Jovi will begin the tour on home territory with four shows at Madison Square Garden in July, taking to the stage at the legendary arena on July 7th, July 9th, July 12th, and July 14th.
Then, on August 28th, Bon Jovi will perform in the United Kingdom for the first time since 2019 with a concert set for the Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh before moving on to Ireland for a date at Croke Park, Dublin, on August 30th.
The series of shows will come to a close on September 4th at Wembley Stadium in London, with Bon Jovi saving the biggest until last.
Their singer says of returning to the stage next year, “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.”
Bon Jovi continued, “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!”
Only last year, Bon Jovi seemed unsure whether he’d ever be able to commit to another tour with the band again, stating, “I won’t fake it…. the legacy matters too much.”
General sale will take place on October 31st at 9am local time following pre-sales, including for those who have pre-ordered, Forever (Legendary Edition).
The new record, which is out on October 24th, features re-workings of songs from their 2024 album, Forever, with a series of special guests including Bruce Springsteen, Jelly Roll, Avril Lavigne, Lainey Wilson, Robbie Williams, and more.
