Bon Jovi launches Forever Tour with Madison Square Garden residency

Jon Bon Jovi returned to the stage after a four‑year touring hiatus, kicking off the band’s “Forever Tour” at New York’s Madison Square Garden on July 7 2026. The residency comprises nine sold‑out shows, the only U.S. dates before the tour heads to the United Kingdom for performances in Ireland, Scotland and three nights at London’s Wembley Stadium.

The tour marks Bon Jovi’s first full‑scale outing since 2022, after the frontman underwent vocal‑cord surgery that year. In a 2024 interview he described the recovery as “a slog” and later told People he was “fully recovered.” Fans can expect classic hits such as “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “You Give Love a Bad Name,” and newer tracks from the 2024 album Forever. The band also invited fans to submit videos of themselves singing the hit “Livin’ on a Prayer” for inclusion in the tour visuals.

Ticket demand was high, with the initial four MSG dates quickly sold out and the run expanded to nine. Resale platforms such as Vivid Seats, SeatGeek and StubHub are offering remaining tickets at varied prices.
