The Return of the Rock Legends: Bon Jovi’s ‘Forever Tour’ Continues
Rock enthusiasts in New York City will have the opportunity to catch a series of iconic performances by Bon Jovi as part of their extended 2026 ‘Forever Tour.’ The legendary band, known for hits like “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “It’s My Life,” is set to perform at Madison Square Garden five times in July. These shows will mark the group’s first official tour since they resumed their career after frontman Jon Bon Jovi underwent vocal surgery.
Jon Bon Jovi, who shared his excitement about returning to the stage, expressed gratitude for the fans’ patience during his recovery. “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,” he stated in a press release. “I’m ready and excited!”
