The tour announcement comes after a much documented vocal cord surgery and rehab process
Grammy Award-winning iconic rock band Bon Jovi has announced a huge headline show in Croke Park, Dublin, as part of a 2026 tour. The band’s hugely anticipated return to touring will see it kick off in July 2026 at New York’s famed Madison Square Garden before travelling to Dublin, London and Edinburgh.
The Hall of Fame band will play Dublin’s Croke Park stadium on August 30, 2026. Tickets will go on general sale via TIcketmaster on Friday, October 31, with a number of pre-sales taking place early next week.
The tour announcement comes after a much documented vocal cord surgery and rehab process seen in the critically acclaimed Hulu docu-series Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story.
Speaking to today’s 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 the 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 today’s tour announcement, the band will release their latest studio album FOREVER (Legendary Edition) out Friday which is 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 below for TRACKLISTING which includes a diverse array of artists including Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, Carin Leon, Joe Elliott, Robbie Williams, Avril Lavigne and more. 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.”
