After a break from the stage, Bon Jovi has announced their long-awaited return with a series of shows in 2026 across North America and Europe.
The band kicks off the tour in July in New York City, followed by performances in Edinburgh, Dublin, and London.
The announcement was made on the band’s official website, with Jon Bon Jovi celebrating the chance to perform again after undergoing vocal surgery and recovery — a journey detailed in the documentary Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story.
“There’s a lot of joy in this announcement,” Jon said. “Joy that we can share these nights together again – I’m grateful to the fans and to the band for giving me the time to get healthy. I’m ready and excited.”
