Bon Jovi will return to the stage for a series of shows at New York's Madison Square Garden in July 2026 before heading overseas for a handful of dates.

The boys are back in town.

Bon Jovi will return to the stage for a handful of concert dates in New York and Europe next summer, the first time the band has played a series of shows since its 2022 tour.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers will land at Madison Square Garden July 7, 9, 12 and 14 before heading overseas to Edinburgh Aug. 28, Dublin Aug. 30 and London Sept. 4.

The band’s return to live shows follows frontman Jon Bon Jovi's struggles to overcome vocal problems that warranted surgery and rigorous rehab, as documented in the 2024 Hulu series “Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story.”

Bon Jovi 'deeply grateful' to return to the stage

Jon Bon Jovi told USA TODAY in an interview connected to the documentary last year that he would not return to touring unless he could handle a full-length concert multiple times a week.

“If there is any uncertainty with the instrument, truthfully, I’m not going to do it. I will not compromise the legacy or the joy. I can no longer put myself through that mental torture of having had a deficiency that was not of my own doing,” Bon Jovi said.

In announcing these 2026 shows, Bon Jovi expressed joy in the ability to hit the stage again and share the band’s massive-selling catalog with fans again.

“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!,” he said.

The expanded rerelease of Bon Jovi’s “Forever” album, dubbed “Forever (Legendary Edition),” arrives Friday, Oct. 24 and includes the new single “Red, White and Jersey” as well as collaborations with artists including Bruce Springsteen (“Hollow Man”), Jelly Roll (“Living Proof”), Robbie Williams (“We Made it Look Easy”), Lainey Wilson (“I Wrote You a Song”) and Marcus King (“My First Guitar”).
