Bon Jovi announce world tour

Jon Bon Jovi announces world tour from stage at the grand opening of the Prudential Center in New Jersey On Thursday, October 25th.

We're starting in New Jersey and then taking it to the world, exclaimed Jon Bon Jovi on stage earlier tonight at the grand opening of The Prudential Center in his home state of New Jersey. With that, the band tore into an explosive concert that marked the first of 10 sold-out concerts and the surprise launch of Bon Jovi's much anticipated Lost Highway World Tour.


Jon Bon Jovi's world tour announcement, interview and concert footage will be available for free to the media to download at 12:01 AM EST on Friday, October 26th at www.thenewsmarket.com/bonjovi. Flexible delivery options include digital FTP transfer, Beta SP tape, Data-DVD, and streaming download (Flash, QuickTime, and Windows Media).

Anticipation for the tour is running at an all-time high, with more than 90 concerts already scheduled in 16 countries and counting. From New Jersey, Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, David Bryan and Tico Torres will climb aboard the plane they'll call home through the summer of 2008, touching down in Canada, Japan, the U.S., New Zealand, England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Holland, Austria and more. Tickets for the U.S. leg of the tour will go on sale beginning Saturday, November 10th, with additional markets and dates to follow in the coming weeks. Fans should continue to log on to www.bonjovi.com for the most up to date concert and ticket on sale information.

We applaud Bon Jovi's decision to launch their tour from The Prudential Center in Newark, instead of Manhattan, to bring worldwide attention to the redevelopment of this American city and the economic impact this arena will have in their home state of New Jersey.", said Randy Phillips, President & CEO of AEG Live, the band's North American tour promoter. We look forward to the most dynamic Bon Jovi tour yet.
