After six long years away from the global touring circuit, Bon Jovi are officially back. The iconic rock band has announced the launch of their highly anticipated “Forever Tour” in 2026, marking a triumphant return that is already being hailed as one of the biggest music events of the decade. For fans across generations, the tour represents more than just a comeback — it’s a celebration of legacy, resilience, and the enduring power of rock ‘n’ roll.
The “Forever Tour” comes after a period of relative quiet from the band following their last major tour in 2020. During the hiatus, frontman Jon Bon Jovi focused on vocal recovery, personal projects, and philanthropic efforts, while the band took time to regroup creatively. Now, re-energized and inspired, Bon Jovi are stepping back onto the world stage with renewed purpose and a promise to deliver both timeless classics and brand-new music.
At the heart of the tour is the band’s upcoming studio album, Forever, which lends its name to the tour. The album is described as a bold blend of classic Bon Jovi anthems and modern rock influences, reflecting both where the band has been and where they are headed. Early previews suggest soaring choruses, introspective lyrics, and the unmistakable arena-ready sound that made Bon Jovi one of the best-selling rock bands of all time.
Fans attending the tour can expect a powerful, career-spanning setlist. Staples such as “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “You Give Love a Bad Name,” “It’s My Life,” “Wanted Dead or Alive,” and “Always” are expected to feature prominently, alongside fresh tracks from Forever. According to sources close to the band, the live shows are designed to strike a balance between nostalgia and reinvention — honoring the past while embracing the present.
Visually, the “Forever Tour” is set to be Bon Jovi’s most ambitious production to date. Cutting-edge stage design, immersive LED backdrops, and dynamic lighting will bring the band’s music to life in stadiums and arenas around the world. The production aims to tell the story of Bon Jovi’s journey — from New Jersey rock hopefuls in the 1980s to global icons whose songs have become the soundtrack of millions of lives.
Jon Bon Jovi, speaking about the tour, emphasized the emotional significance of returning to live performances. He described the upcoming shows as “a reunion with the fans who never left us,” adding that the energy of a live crowd is something the band has deeply missed. “This tour is about connection,” he said. “It’s about the songs we’ve shared, the memories we’ve made, and the new ones we’re about to create together.”
The “Forever Tour” will kick off in early 2026, with dates expected across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America, making it a truly global event. Ticket demand is already projected to be massive, with pre-sale registrations surging within hours of the announcement. For longtime fans and first-time concertgoers alike, securing a seat promises to be a priority.
Beyond the music, the tour also underscores Bon Jovi’s enduring relevance in an ever-changing industry. Few bands have managed to evolve while maintaining such a strong emotional bond with their audience. The “Forever Tour” is not just a return — it’s a statement that Bon Jovi’s story is still being written.
