Bon Jovi announces "Forever Tour," to play 4 nights at Madison Square Garden
Bon Jovi is set to return to touring for the first time in four years.
The "Forever Tour" kicks off with four nights at New York's Madison Square Garden next summer -- July 7, 9, 12 and 14 --before the band heads to Edinburgh, Scotland; Dublin and London.
"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," lead singer Jon Bon Jovi said in a statement. "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!"
The band's last concert was held on April 30, 2022, in Nashville -- as seen in the 2024 Hulu documentary, "Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story."
An artist presale begins Tuesday at 10 a.m. Eastern. General sales launch Oct. 31, also at 10 a.m. Eastern, via bonjovi.com.
Why Bon Jovi stopped touring
Decades into his career and the unthinkable happened. It was 2022, and Jon Bon Jovi began struggling through his songs. He saw a doctor who said one of his vocal cords was atrophying. He needed major surgery.
Bon Jovi had the procedure, and in the years since, has undergone extensive rehab.
