Jon Bon Jovi began suffering from vocal cord issues in 2022 and even required surgery after one of his cords atrophied.
So, fans weren't certain whether or when they would get to see the Bon Jovi frontman live again. However, after rehab, Bon Jovi has now recovered enough to hit the road with the band in 2026. He last performed in April 2022 in Nashville.
“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,” Bon Jovi said in a statement to
. “I’ve spoken extensively on my gratitude but I will say it again, I’m deeply grateful that the fans and the brotherhood of this band have been patient and allowed me the time needed to get healthy and prepare for touring. I’m ready and excited!”
What are the 2026 tour dates for Bon Jovi? They are listed on the band's website. The tour starts on July 7, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The band will perform three more times in July at Madison Square Garden and then will perform overseas in Scotland, Ireland, and London.
