Rock Icons Bon Jovi Announce Triumphant Return With 2026 “Forever Tour”
Bon Jovi have officially announced their long-awaited return to the stage, confirming seven massive concerts for summer 2026 — their first live shows in years and a moment fans have been hoping for with unwavering loyalty. The legendary rock band will kick off the highly anticipated **Forever Tour** with an electrifying four-night residency at New York’s iconic **Madison Square Garden** in July, marking a powerful homecoming for one of America’s most celebrated music acts.
After conquering New York, Bon Jovi will head across the Atlantic for their first UK and Ireland performances in seven years. The band is set to shake some of the region’s biggest stadiums, including **Edinburgh’s Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium**, **Dublin’s Croke Park**, and **London’s Wembley Stadium**, each expected to draw enormous crowds eager to witness the band’s rebirth on stage.
The announcement carries extra emotional weight for frontman **Jon Bon Jovi**, who revealed in early 2024 that he underwent surgery to repair an atrophied vocal cord — a procedure that cast doubt on his future ability to perform. Now, with renewed strength and optimism, he’s ready to step back under the spotlight.
“There is a lot of joy in this announcement,” Jon shared, reflecting on the band’s return. “Joy that we can share these nights together with our amazing fans and joy that the band can be together.”
He added that performing has always been a deeply shared experience: “I am lucky enough 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.”
Expressing heartfelt gratitude for fans’ patience, Jon concluded: “I’m deeply grateful that everyone allowed me the time needed to get healthy. I’m ready and excited.”
Bon Jovi are officially back — and 2026 can’t come fast enough for fans worldwide.
