Bon Jovi — the iconic rock band led by frontman Jon Bon Jovi — has officially unveiled their highly anticipated 2026 Forever Tour, marking a major return to the road after a multi‑year break from full‑scale touring. This announcement has electrified fans worldwide, as it not only celebrates the band’s enduring legacy but also represents a triumphant comeback for Jon himself following vocal cord surgery in 2022 and a lengthy recovery period.
The tour is set to be a powerful, heart‑pounding celebration of Bon Jovi’s more than four decades as one of rock’s most beloved live acts. Known for legendary anthems like Livin’ on a Prayer, You Give Love a Bad Name, and It’s My Life, the band’s live performances have long been synonymous with energy, emotion, and unforgettable moments. After a hiatus from touring after Jon’s surgery and rehabilitation, the 2026 run feels like a reunion not just for the band, but for fans who have been eagerly awaiting new concert dates.
