Iconic rock band Bon Jovi has unveiled plans for their highly anticipated Forever Tour alongside the release of their new album, Forever (Legendary Edition). The tour will feature performances in major cities including New York, Edinburgh, Dublin, and London during summer 2026, marking the band’s first shows in the UK and Ireland since 2019. This tour represents a significant milestone for frontman Jon Bon Jovi, who has recently recovered from vocal cord surgery.
The tour will kick off on July 7, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in New York, with additional performances scheduled for July 9, 12, and 14. Following the New York shows, Bon Jovi will head to the UK and Ireland, performing at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on August 28, Croke Park in Dublin on August 30, and concluding the tour at Wembley Stadium in London on September 4.
Reflecting on the tour announcement, Jon Bon Jovi expressed his excitement: “There is a lot of joy in this announcement – joy that we can share these nights together with our amazing fans. 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 follows Jon Bon Jovi’s well-publicized vocal cord surgery and rehabilitation, which gained attention through the critically acclaimed Hulu docu-series, Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story. He shared, “Vocal cord surgery and subsequent rehab was a well-documented journey that played out while releasing Forever in June 2024. I was singing well enough in the studio for the recording, but the vocal demands and rigors of touring were still out of reach for me.”
In conjunction with the tour, Bon Jovi is set to release Forever (Legendary Edition), a reimagining of their 2024 album. The new version features collaborations with notable artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Robbie Williams, Avril Lavigne, and others. Jon Bon Jovi emphasized the significance of these collaborations, stating, “Without the ability to tour or promote an album we were all very proud of, I decided to call on some friends to help me in my time of need. All are great singers, artists, and also just great people. The result is an album with a new viewpoint and new spirit — a collaboration album that proves we all get by in this world with a little help from our friends.”
Tickets for the UK and Ireland shows will be available for presale starting on October 27, 2025, at 09:00 BST, with general sales commencing on October 31, 2025.
The Forever Tour promises to be a memorable event for fans, as Bon Jovi brings their legendary sound to stages across the globe, celebrating their enduring legacy and the joy of live music.
