Bon Jovi have announced their highly anticipated Forever tour for 2026, marking the legendary rock band’s return to the road following frontman Jon Bon Jovi’s vocal cord surgery that has kept them off touring circuits since 2022.
The seven-date run represents a significant milestone for the New Jersey rockers, whose journey back to performing was documented in last year’s four-part Hulu docuseries Thank You, Good Night: The Bon Jovi Story. The tour supports their album Forever.
“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,” Jon Bon Jovi said in a statement. “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.”
The Forever tour will commence with a four-night residency at New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden throughout July, before the band travel overseas for three additional performances. The international leg includes two dates in the UK and one in Ireland.
While this announcement represents their first official touring commitment, Bon Jovi have tested the waters with select appearances in recent years, including a performance on June 14th at Marathon Music Works in Nashville, providing fans glimpses of their readiness to return.
Complete ticketing information remains available through Bon Jovi’s official website.
Coinciding with their touring announcement, the band will release Forever (Legendary Edition) on Friday, featuring reimagined versions of the album’s tracks. The special edition boasts an impressive roster of collaborators including Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, Carin Leon, Joe Elliott, Robbie Williams, and Avril Lavigne.

“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,” Jon Bon Jovi added. “I’m ready and excited!”
