’80s rock behemoths Bon Jovi, have announced that they will return to Ireland next summer for a massive show in Dublin’s Croke Park. alongside shows in New York, London and Edinburgh starting in July 2026 with four nights at New York’s famed Madison Square Garden.
“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!” said Jon Bon Jovi announcing the tour.
News of the Forever Tour comes in advance of the release of their latest studio album FOREVER (Legendary Edition) this Friday – a star-studded collaboration album featuring Bruce Springsteen, Joe Elliott, Robbie Williams, Avril Lavigne and more putting their stamp on songs from Bon Jovi’s FOREVER album.
“This album is more than just a collection of collaborations, it is an album borne out of necessity. My vocal cord surgery and subsequent rehab was a well-documented journey that played out while releasing Forever in June 2024. I was singing well enough in the studio for the recording, but the vocal demands and rigors of touring were still out of reach for me,” explains Jon Bon Jovi.
“Without the ability to tour or promote an album we were all very proud of, I decided to call on some friends to help me in my time of need. All are great singers, artists, and also just great people. The result is an album with a new viewpoint and new spirit — a collaboration album that proves we all get by in this world with a little help from our friends. I feel tremendous joy and gratitude releasing this album and I think it shows in the music. I can say with certainty that there is always something bigger than ME, and that’s WE,”
