“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.

Along with the tour announcement, Bon Jovi will also release their latest studio album, "Forever (Legendary Edition)," on October 24, 2025.

This album is a reimagined version of 2024's "Forever."

The album features a number of collaborations with renowned artists from various musical genres.

Big names such as Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Robbie Williams, Avril Lavigne, Jason Isbell, Carin Leon, Joe Elliott, Ryan Tedder, The War and Treaty, Billy Falcon, and Marcus King are also involved in the project.

Jon Bon Jovi explained that the album was "born out of necessity" due to his limitations in touring fully following his vocal cord surgery.
