The kings of New Jersey will be spending quite a bit of time in the Big Apple next summer.
Due to overwhelming demand, Bon Jovi just added a fifth concert at New York City’s Madison Square Garden as part of their short 2026 ‘Forever Tour.’
Their MSG shows are set to go down:
A little over a month after the mini residency at the Knicks and Rangers’ home, the “Livin’ On A Prayer” rockers head across the pond for a quick run of shows in the United Kingdom.
These concerts will serve as the group’s first official tour since they took their hits on the road in spring 2022. They’ve been on a hiatus — save for the odd one-off show — since then due to frontman Jon Bon Jovi’s vocal surgery.
With that now in the rearview mirror, the powerful vocalist is itching to see his fans Bonjoviologists yet 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,” the 63-year-old frontman shared in a statement. I’m ready and excited!”
Prior to the tour, the Grammy winners are celebrating the re-release of their 2024 album “Forever.” On this new version, high-profile special guests like Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, Carin Leon will join the rockers.

Bon Jovi new music
In June 2024, Bon Jovi released their 16th studio album “Forever.” The record, which hit No. 5 on the US Billboard 200 charts, was the group’s first since 2020’s “2020.”
And, now, a little over a year later, they dropped the 12-track “Legendary Edition” of “Forever” on Oct. 24.
