Jon Bon Jovi says he is “ready and excited” to return to live touring, as the band announce four nights at Madison Square Gardens for July 2026, with dates in Edinburgh, Dublin and London to follow in August/September. The Forever Tour marks Bon Jovi’s first shows in the UK and Ireland since 2019.
“There is a lot of joy in this announcement,” Jon Bon Jovi told us. “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.”
The tour announcement comes after a much documented vocal cord surgery and rehab process seen in the critically acclaimed Hulu docu-series Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story.
“I’ve spoken extensively on my gratitude,” Jon said, “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.”
In tandem with today’s tour announcement, the band will release their latest studio album, Forever (Legendary Edition), this Friday. A star-studded collaboration, the album features reimagined takes on the songs from the Forever album.
Fans can preorder Forever (Legendary Edition) at shop.bonjovi.com to access the tour presale beginning Monday, 27th October at 9 am local time.
Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning on Friday 31st October at 9 am local time at bonjovi.com.
