Bon Jovi is officially returning to the road in 2026. The band announced the “Forever Tour,” marking their first live performances since frontman Jon Bon Jovi’s vocal cord surgery in 2022. The tour will begin with four nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City in July 2026 before heading to the United Kingdom for stops in Edinburgh, Dublin, and London.

Jon Bon Jovi shared his excitement in a statement: “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’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 marks a major comeback for Bon Jovi after several years away from the stage. Jon underwent surgery in 2022 to repair atrophy in one of his vocal cords, followed by extensive rehabilitation. His recovery was documented in the 2024 Hulu series Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story, which detailed the band’s long pause and the frontman’s determination to perform again.

The “Forever Tour” coincides with a special edition of the band’s latest album, Forever (Legendary Edition), which includes collaborations with Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, and Jelly Roll. The re-release is expected to build excitement ahead of the tour and remind fans of the group’s lasting legacy.

Presales begin later this month, with general ticket sales opening on October 31, 2025. The band’s return to touring represents more than just a comeback. It’s a reunion of one of rock’s most enduring groups, a celebration of resilience, and a reminder that Bon Jovi still knows how to fill arenas.
