Bon Jovi adds ninth and final Madison Square Garden concert

The residency is part of the group’s 2026 return to the road

Bon Jovi has added a ninth and final Madison Square Garden concert to its 2026 itinerary. The expansive New York City run is part of the group’s highly anticipated return to the road, which includes shows in London, Dublin, and Edinburgh next summer. The Live Nation-produced shows now see the 80s rockers playing 13 shows in four cities.

Since the global concert dates were announced last week, Bon Jovi has added five Madison Square Garden shows and one additional London show, due to huge demand during presales.

“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,” Jon Bon Jovi says. “I am lucky enough to be able to hold a light out to the audience each night and stand in their reflection for a tremendous collective experience – I get to stand in the WE of our concerts. And 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!”

The general sale starts tomorrow (Fri, Oct 31st) at 10 am local time.

In a new interview with Joel Madden for Artist Frieldy on Veeps, Jon Bon Jovi says Chicago may be added, but no additional cities for 2026. However, he hopes a “much bigger tour” will be launched in 2027.

The tour announcement comes after a much-documented vocal cord surgery and rehab process seen in the critically acclaimed Hulu docu-series Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story.

In tandem with the tour announcement, the band released their latest studio album, Forever (Legendary Edition), which is a star-studded collaboration album featuring reimagined takes on the band’s latest songs from their Forever album with some of the biggest names in music. The new set features a diverse array of artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, Carin Leon, Joe Elliott, Robbie Williams, Avril Lavigne, and more.
