Bon Jovi<\/a> have announced a run of UK and Ireland stadium shows and a New York residency for the summer of 2026.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

They will play at Edinburgh\u2019s Murrayfield Stadium on August 28, followed by Croke Park on Dublin on August 30 and finally a giant show at London\u2019s Wembley Stadium on September 4.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speaking about the tour, Jon Bon Jovi<\/a> has said: \u201cThere is a lot of joy in this announcement \u2013 joy that we can share these nights together with our amazing fans and joy that the band can be together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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 \u2013 I get to stand in the WE of our concerts.\u00a0And I\u2019ve spoken extensively\u00a0on my gratitude but I will say it again, I\u2019m 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\u2019m ready and excited!\u201d<\/p>\n

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

Last year, Bon Jovi released their 16th album \u2018Forever<\/a>\u2019, a celebration of the band\u2019s 40th anniversary and a follow-on from the Disney+<\/a> documentary film Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Around the release of \u2018Forever\u2019, Jon Bon Jovi told NME about his hesitancy to return to the stage<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m still not confident I could do two-and-a-half hours a night, four days a week and I won\u2019t book a gig until I\u2019ve done that on a rehearsal level,\u201d said Bon Jovi. \u201cAt this moment in time, we\u2019re rehearsing once a month just to see the progress. I\u2019m not there yet and it blows.\u201d<\/p>\n

This week (October 24), the band release a new version of \u2018Forever\u2019 featuring reinterpretations of the album\u2019s songs<\/a> in collaboration with a list of guests that includes Bruce Springsteen<\/a>,\u00a0Avril Lavigne<\/a>,\u00a0Robbie Williams<\/a>, Jelly Roll<\/a>,\u00a0Lainey Wilson<\/a>,\u00a0Ryan Tedder<\/a>, Def Leppard<\/a>\u2019s Joe Elliott and more.
