Bon Jovi Tour 2013

Furious-Red

American rock legends Bon Jovi have announced the first leg of their world tour today - leaving fans eagerly waiting for the UK dates to be revealed.

The band will release their twelfth studio album ‘What About Now’ in spring next year, and have now revealed some of their hugely-anticipated tour dates to their millions of fans - with Canada being the first nation of choice.

The news was broken via a post on the band’s website, which read: “The best just got bigger. Bringing their signature brand of rock ‘n’ roll back to the people, Bon Jovi will hit the road in 2013 to fill stadiums and arenas worldwide with Bon Jovi Because We Can – The Tour.

“Blazing a trail across the globe, the tour will kick off in North America in February, just in time for Valentine’s Day, and travel throughout Europe, the Far East, Africa, Latin America and Australia. The band’s return to the road in 2013 will cap an incredible run which has secured Bon Jovi’s status as the essential live rock band – having performed more than 2,700 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 35 million fans, and earning the #1 grossing worldwide tour twice in just three years.

“Because We Can – The Tour will also debut brand new songs from new album What About Now, due out in Spring 2013, loading even more ammunition into the band’s huge arsenal of hits including “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “You Give Love a Bad Name,” “Who Says You Can’t Go Home,” “It’s My Life,” and many more.”

The announcement also came with a video, which you can check out below. If you’re a Canadian fan, we’ve also put their newly announce dates below, too.

While it’s only the Canadian leg which has been unveiled so far, we expect that the UK dates will be revealed in the coming weeks - so keep your eyes peeled on Stereoboard for an announcement soon!

2013:
February 13th - Bell Centre, Montreal Quebec
February 17th - Air Canada Centre, Toronto Ontario
February 20th - Scotiabank Place, Ottawa Ontario
April 2nd - Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgary Alberta

If the last tour schedule was anything to go by, dont expect to see them in Ireland until summer 2014.

Could be wrong though, it all depends on if there is a residency somewhere along the way.

Don't be silly. They will be here in either may or June. Big question is where there going to play and is it for 1 or 2 nights

Irishshin

Very excited for this as I wasn't expecting them until 2014.
They will be in Ireland next year....really hoping for Lansdowne Road.

Dreading Tuesday at 11am....do NOT want to see them at Slane.
And am hoping it won't be them!!!


Also Vancouver was announced for Fall 2013, which is strange for them to be touring late like that.

Looking forward to seeing where else they will play in Europe

MagicMarker

They should give up recording and just do tours, they've released utter drivel over the last decade.

Might sound like a bit of a odd question but any idea what hotel they prefer when they come over here?
My sister is a massive fan and would love to book her into the same hotel unknowingly to her.

hulkeverton

EDIT - Just seen the Slane thread there and it is looking very likely that it will be a Slane gig

American rock legends Bon Jovi have revealed that there will be tickets going from as little as £12.50 for their up and coming world tour - as they give all fans the chance to catch them live next year.

The news was broken via Rob Hallett - Bon Jovi’s UK tour manager with AEG Live - who stated that rock and roll has and always will be ‘the music of the people’. It comes following recent uproar at the price of tickets for The Rolling Stones reunion gigs, which were priced at an incredible £95-£375 per ticket.

Hallett revealed: “I was delighted when they came to me insisting on ticket prices for the 'Because We Can' tour next year that enabled all to attend. If we are to survive as an industry we need to move away from the elitist image of high prices and even higher secondary prices [for tickets resold]. After all, rock and roll always was and always should be the music of the people, and that means everyone.”

A source close to the band also allegedly told The Daily Mirror: “We are in the middle of a ­recession and that's why the band think £12.50 is perfect.”

Not all tickets will cost £12.50 but there will definitely be some available for the low price. Stay with Stereoboard for more information on the tour.

irishbucka

When are tickets on general sale. I'm not in fan club. I hope there is diamond tickets again

Irishshin

No idea, just FC presale at the moment.
Hope there is no diamond! Too expensive!

Mushy

I assume Friday if pre-sale this week.

Was thinking the same thing. They're selling tickets for £12.50 in the UK (probably the worst seats in the house but still). Waiting to see if they add a London date because I have a brother over there meaning free accomodation and would almost certainly be cheaper then Slane.

Also the slane date conflicts with Download 2013 which I'm deffo going to.

Ticketmaster tickets go on sale next week and Fanclub go on Sale on Thursday.

Not liking Slane as the venue either, hope the rest of the line up will be good.

Whats the story with the 12.50 tickets, Is it for every date in the UK tour?

When you check ticketmaster for the Manchester gig(Saturday) it lists the price range for tickets at about £50 - £100. No cheap seats. But if you check the Glasgow gig(Wednesday) the tickets start at £12.50.

Am I right in thinking the price is more expensive for the Saturday because its likely to sell out without the need for a discount?

eeyore2502

Some UK dates have tickets at 12.50 but hate to see where those seats are.

There is a Diamond and Gold circle in Slane.

MCD are doing a presale through their Facebook page on Monday at 09.00 and ticketmaster tickets go on sale on Thursday

PTH2009

Bought 2 diamond circle tickets off the fan club. The thing that alarmed me is that ony confirmation email it states that proceedings start at 19.00. So it looks like we are not getting support bands playing all day like previous years.

Diamond circle ticket only?
Or the package?


could only get gold circle ticket only

Furious-Red

What are the prices for Golden and Diamond?

Irishshin

Gold is $121.50
There are charges onto that as well

I can still only see diamond circle if you buy packages for either $330 or $430
You would want to be meeting the band for that!



Interestingly TM are only showing a gold circle and general admission on the seating chart.

Any way to get the diamond packages if you're not a member of the fan club?

Bon Jovi: A load of old **** really, have been crap since 1984 when I saw them support Kiss in Glasgow. Just another hair metal band.
