The Rock & Roll Hall Of Famers will be hitting the road in July, playing four nights at the iconic Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, before heading across the pond for a trio of major shows in the UK and Ireland.

They will play at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium on August 28, followed by Croke Park on Dublin on August 30 and finally a giant show at London’s Wembley Stadium on September 4.

Fans can access pre-sale codes here from 9am local time on Monday (October 27), while the general sale begins at the same time on October 31 – you will be able to find your UK/Ireland tickets here and US tickets here.

Speaking about the tour, Jon Bon Jovi has said: “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!”

Bon Jovi will play:

JULY 2026
07 – New York, Madison Square Garden
09 – New  York, Madison Square Garden
12 – New  York, Madison Square Garden
14 – New York, Madison Square Garden

AUGUST 2026
28 – Edinburgh, Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium
30 – Dublin, Croke Park

SEPTEMBER 2026
04 – London, Wembley Stadium

These will be the biggest live shows since Jon Bon Jovi had surgery on his vocal cords in 2022, a process which at one point he said left him uncertain that he would ever be able to tour again.

Last year, Bon Jovi released their 16th album ‘Forever’, a celebration of the band’s 40th anniversary and a follow-on from the Disney+ documentary film Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story.

Around the release of ‘Forever’, Jon Bon Jovi told NME about his hesitancy to return to the stage. “I’m still not confident I could do two-and-a-half hours a night, four days a week and I won’t book a gig until I’ve done that on a rehearsal level,” said Bon Jovi. “At this moment in time, we’re rehearsing once a month just to see the progress. I’m not there yet and it blows.”

This week (October 24), the band release a new version of ‘Forever’ featuring reinterpretations of the album’s songs in collaboration with a list of guests that includes Bruce Springsteen, Avril Lavigne, Robbie Williams, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Ryan Tedder, Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott and more.
