Bon Jovi - RDS Arena Dublin - June 29/30 -- No ticket advertising

Furious-Red · 12-05-2011 11:28pm

In response to questions about Richie Sambora and Bon Jovi's upcoming performance schedule, the band released the following statement today:

"Our support for Richie is absolute. He is, and will remain, a member of Bon Jovi. Although he will be absent from upcoming shows for the time being, we very much look forward to his healthy return. In the meantime, we will keep our commitment to our fans and continue our tour."

Out of respect for Richie, the band will not comment further.

Times from ticketmaster:

29th June
Doors Open - 5.30pm
The Riptide Movement - 6pm
Vintage Trouble - 7pm
Bon Jovi - 8pm

************************************************

30th June
Doors Open - 5.30pm
The Fallen Drakes - 6pm
Vintage Trouble - 7pm
Bon Jovi - 8pm

Bet it will be after 8 before Jovi come on so hopefully closer to 11 by the time they finish.

Rumours are Richie is out of Rehab. Nothing official yet and there won't be until first show in Zagreb until June 8th. Gotta wait till then.

Anyone know if there are any buses going to it it and coming back after it that are stopping in Laois. Bit of a long shot!

I'd say it will be over very close to 11.
I've Got Gold Circle Tickets For Both Shows and can't wait.
I'm very Surprised they haven't got Bigger acts Supporting them.
Kid Rock and Razorlight Played Support to them in Punchestown.

Just after winning tickets for this gig. I've entered so many. I really wanted to go but didn't have the money. They're giving them away over the weekend on Radio Nova.

So excited

I saw them two years in a row at the RDS a number of years back and they were great. The 2nd year they played for about 2 and a half hours solid from what I remember. I remember when they came out at the start they said they were staying longer this time and they definitely did, at least half an hour longer. Really good.
