Bon Jovi, the legendary GRAMMY Award®-winning band and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, has officially announced a series of global concert dates for 2026—marking a triumphant return to live touring after four years away from the stage, and following Jon Bon Jovi’s vocal cord surgery and recovery. Fans across New York, London, Dublin, and Edinburgh can now gear up to experience one of the world’s most iconic live acts at some of the world’s grandest venues.
Tour Announcement & Significance
The announcement, made in late October 2025, sent shockwaves of excitement throughout the rock world, with the “Forever Tour” kicking off at New York’s famed Madison Square Garden in July 2026 and culminating at London’s Wembley Stadium in September. This tour is particularly meaningful, the band’s first live shows since Jon Bon Jovi’s much-publicised vocal cord surgery, a journey documented in the Hulu docuseries “Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story”.
Jon Bon Jovi expressed immense gratitude to fans for their patience, acknowledging the brotherhood that exists between his bandmates and the fan community. This series of global dates truly celebrates both a return to health and the enduring legacy of Bon Jovi’s connection with audiences.
