Bon Jovi is hitting the road again next year. After a long break from live performances, Jon Bon Jovi says he’s finally ready to pack a bag and get back on stage. The band has just announced seven shows kicking off in July, with four in New York and one each in London, Dublin, and Edinburgh. Tickets for the New York dates go on sale this Friday, October 31st.
Bon Jovi fans also get new music too—sort of.
Back in February, guitarist Phil X revealed the band was reworking their 2024 album Forever with guest vocalists. That reimagined version, now called Forever (Legacy Edition), was released on Friday. According to Jon Bon Jovi, the original plan was to tour behind Forever last year, but his voice hadn’t fully healed from throat surgery. Now that he’s back in shape, Jon’s turned the album into a duets collection featuring a wide mix of artists — rock, country, international — all under the spirit of With a Little Help From My Friends.
“It’s a diverse record,” Jon says. “We called old friends, new friends, men, women… just to reintroduce a great album and show my voice is healed.”
