Bon Jovi Announces Summer 2026 Concert Dates Following Vocal Recovery
NEW YORK, NY – October 25, 2024 – Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Bon Jovi are set to electrify fans with a limited series of concert dates in New York and Europe in the summer of 2026, marking their return to the stage since their 2022 tour. The news comes after frontman Jon Bon Jovi’s well-documented journey to overcome vocal issues, detailed in the Hulu documentary “Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story.”
The band will kick off their stateside performances with four shows at Madison Square Garden on July 7, 9, 12, and 14, 2026, before heading across the Atlantic to play in Edinburgh (Aug. 28), Dublin (Aug. 30), and London (Sept. 4).
“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,” said Jon Bon Jovi in a statement. “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!”
Tickets for the New York shows will be available via an artist presale starting at 10 a.m. ET on October 27. Fans can register now at bonjovi.com to gain access. General ticket sales begin at 10 a.m. ET on October 31, also at bonjovi.com.
UK and Ireland fans can access the presale, starting Oct 28th at 9 a.m. local time, by pre-ordering the band’s upcoming “Forever (Legendary Edition)” album at shop.bonjovi.com. General sale for the UK and Ireland dates will begin at 9 a.m. local time on October 31 at bonjovi.com.
Jon Bon Jovi had previously stated that he would only return to touring if he could deliver full-length performances multiple times a week. “If there is any uncertainty with the instrument, truthfully, I’m not going to do it,” he told USA TODAY. “I will not compromise the legacy or the joy.”
Adding to the excitement, the expanded re-release of Bon Jovi’s “Forever” album, titled “Forever (Legendary Edition),” arrives this Friday, Oct. 25 and features the new single “Red, White and Jersey” and collaborations with music icons like Bruce Springsteen, Jelly Roll, Robbie Williams, Lainey Wilson, and Marcus King.
