Bon Jovi has exciting plans for their fans, announcing a series of UK and Ireland stadium concerts alongside a much-anticipated New York residency in the summer of 2026. The legendary band will kick off their tour with four consecutive nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City, commencing on July 7. Following this, they will head across the Atlantic to perform major shows in the UK and Ireland, starting with a concert at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium on August 28, followed by a performance at Dublin’s Croke Park on August 30, and culminating in a grand show at London’s Wembley Stadium on September 4.
Pre-sale codes for the highly sought-after tickets will be available starting at 9 AM local time on October 27, with general sales commencing on October 31. Fans can find ticketing information for both UK/Ireland and US shows through the band’s official channels.
Regarding the upcoming performances, Jon Bon Jovi expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “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.” He further shared his gratitude for the support he received during his recovery, implying that the connection with fans is especially meaningful to him. His previous health challenges, including surgery on his vocal cords in 2022, had raised doubts about his ability to tour again, making this announcement particularly significant.
The shows in 2026 mark Bon Jovi’s return to the live stage since the surgery, highlighting how far he has come in reclaiming his voice and performing ability. The band recently released their 16th album, “Forever,” celebrating their 40th anniversary. In a recent interview, Bon Jovi acknowledged his apprehension about returning to live performances, expressing a desire to build confidence through rehearsals.
Adding to the excitement, Bon Jovi is set to unveil a new version of “Forever,” featuring reinterpretations of the album’s tracks in collaboration with several prominent artists, including Bruce Springsteen and Avril Lavigne. This musical project reflects the band’s continuous evolution while honoring their rich legacy in rock music.
The announcement of these shows is not just a testament to Bon Jovi’s enduring legacy but also a celebration of resilience and the shared joy of live music, promising fans an unforgettable experience in 2026.
