Bon Jovi fans are desperate to get their hands on 'bucket list' show tickets, as UK and Ireland tour dates have finally been confirmed (available via Seat Unique, Live Nation, and Ticketmaster).
Yesterday (Wednesday, October 22), the American rock group announced that they're heading on the road next year with huge shows lined up in London, Edinburgh, and Dublin.
The Forever Tour is in celebration of their 16th studio album of the same title, which was released back in June 2024.
Speaking about the 2026 run, Jon Bon Jovi said: "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.
"I am lucky enough to be able to hold a light out to the audience each night and stand in their reflection for a tremendous collective experience - I get to stand in the WE of our concerts.
"I've spoken extensively on my gratitude but I will say it 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. I’m ready and excited!"
The tour announcement comes almost six years after Jon Bon Jovi took a break from the spotlight to focus on his health, following vocal cord surgery. And it's safe to say, fans are thrilled.
On Reddit, one shared: "I gotta go!!! [Wembley] is my ultimate bucket list item since I was 10 years old and saw [them] on MTV... they changed my life."
Another said, "Seen them a few times, they always put on a good show. One of those where I'd say see them, before you can't."
A third added: "I will be there and I will be thrilled!"
