Bon Jovi Forever Tour 2026 extended again: Where to buy tickets

This is turning into a full-blown residency.

After announcing a four-show stint at New York City’s Madison Square Garden as part of their 2026 ‘Forever Tour,’ Bon Jovi has extended their run at MSG not once, not twice but thrice.

After the third expansion of their stay, here are all seven (!) dates the “Livin’ On A Prayer’ group will headline at the Knicks and Rangers’ home next summer:

Tuesday, July 7
7:30 p.m.

Thursday, July 9
7:30 p.m.

Sunday, July 12
7:30 p.m.

Tuesday, July 14
7:30 p.m.

Thursday, July 16
7:30 p.m.

Sunday, July 19
7:30 p.m.

Tuesday, July 21
7:30 p.m.

These seven concerts will be the first time the New Jersey natives have headlined at the Garden since their ‘This House Is Not For Sale Tour’ when they played the venue twice in May 2018.

A little over a month after the impressive septet of Big Apple gigs, the Rock Hall of Famers will take their talents overseas for a trio of shows in Ireland, Scotland and England.

This now ten-concert jaunt is the band’s first official tour since their 2022 North American trek. They haven’t performed since then other than the occasional one-off concert because frontman Jon Bon Jovi underwent vocal surgery and there was speculation they’d never tour again.

However, he has since recovered, hence the upcoming 2026 outing.

In addition to their live shows, the band also just released the “Legendary Edition” their 2024 album “Forever,” which shares a name with the tour. Big name features like Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, Carin Leon and many more assisted the ’80s icons this time around.

“[They] made every great song even better,” the 63-year-old singer shared on Instagram. “I hope you like it as much as we do.”

As for what to expect at these upcoming summer ’26 concerts, we can’t say but it’s likely the group will revisit their classics like “Wanted Dead Or Alive,” “It’s My Life,” “You Give Love A Bad Name,” “Bad Medicine” and, of course, “Livin’ On A Prayer” and bust out a few tracks from the “Forever” album.

Who knows?

Maybe a special guest or two will show, too.

All we know for certain is the best way to find out is live.

Bon Jovi new music

In June 2024, Bon Jovi released their 16th studio album “Forever.” The record, which hit No. 5 on the US Billboard 200 charts, was the group’s first since 2020’s “2020.”

And, now, a little over a year later, they dropped the 12-track “Legendary Edition” of “Forever” on Oct. 24.

If you’d like to hear for yourself — including the melancholy “Hollow Man” with Bruce Springsteen, stadium anthem ready “Living Proof” featuring Jelly Roll and uplifting “We Made It Look Easy” alongside Robbie Williams — you can find the star-studded album here.
