After years of uncertainty and silence, Bon Jovi is officially back and ready to rock arenas around the globe. The iconic band has announced a highly anticipated international tour set to kick off in July 2026, marking their grand return to the stage following frontman Jon Bon Jovi’s vocal surgery and long recovery.
The tour begins with a four-night stand at Madison Square Garden in New York City, followed by major stadium shows in Edinburgh, Dublin, and London. The announcement carries emotional weight, especially for fans who have stood by the band during its unplanned hiatus.
In a heartfelt statement, Jon Bon Jovi expressed both excitement and gratitude, citing the tour as a symbol of resilience and reunion. His battle with vocal issues was chronicled in the Hulu docuseries “Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story,” which offered fans a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges he faced and the determination it took to overcome them.
Coinciding with the tour news, Bon Jovi is also releasing Forever (Legendary Edition), a bold reimagining of their 2024 album Forever. The updated album is packed with collaborations from a wide spectrum of stars, including Bruce Springsteen, Avril Lavigne, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, Carin Leon, Joe Elliott, and Robbie Williams. It’s more than a deluxe release; it’s a sonic testament to friendship, creativity, and endurance.
Jon Bon Jovi explained that this revamped project was born out of necessity, as touring in 2024 was impossible due to the lingering effects of his vocal rehabilitation. With support from a talented roster of friends, the album became a bridge to stay connected with fans in a powerful and personal way.
Fans eager to be part of the 2026 comeback can register for artist presale access starting October 27 at 10 a.m. ET via bonjovi.com. General ticket sales open on October 31 at the same time.
Bon Jovi’s return is not just another tour announcement—it’s the start of a new era for a band that has weathered decades and still knows how to bring the house down.
