Bon Jovi have announced a series of global concerts that will mark the band’s much anticipated return to live touring with shows in New York, London, Dublin and Edinburgh starting in July 2026. The tour by the GRAMMY Award®-winning, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band and one of history’s most iconic live acts, is produced by Live Nation. Pre-sales begin on Oct. 27 with a general on-sale on Oct. 31 here.

The tour announcement comes after a much documented vocal cord surgery and rehab process seen in the Hulu docu-series Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story. Speaking to the Oct. 22 announcement, 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. And 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!”

In tandem with the tour announcement, the band will release their latest studio album Forever (Legendary Edition) on Oct. 24, a star-studded collaboration album featuring reimagined takes on the band’s latest songs from their Forever album with some of the biggest names in music. See the track listing below. It’s available in the U.S. here, in Canada here and in the U.K. here.

Speaking to the album process, Jon Bon Jovi said: “This album is more than just a collection of collaborations, it is an album borne out of necessity. My 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. 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. I feel tremendous joy and gratitude releasing this album and I think it shows in the music. I can say with certainty that there is always something bigger than ME, and that’s WE.”
