Bon Jovi Profile‘80s rockers Bon Jovi have announced their return to Australia, playing two massive stadium shows in March of next year.
The band’s global Forever Tour, which follows the release of their sixteenth studio album Forever in 2024, will hit Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on March 4th and Sydney’s Accor Stadium on March 11th, marking their first Aussie tour in more than eight years.
“The Forever Tour has been an incredible celebration of the music and the fans who have been with us all these years,” frontman Jon Bon Jovi said.
“From Madison Square Garden to Scotland, Ireland, and England, the energy and joy we shared with our fans this summer was something truly special. To look out and see thousands of faces singing along with us, night after night, is something we'll never take for granted.
“We're grateful for every one of you, and now we're taking that celebration around the world in 2027, with more cities, more countries, and a whole lot more nights to remember,” he added. “We can't wait to see you out there!”
Tickets to Bon Jovi’s upcoming tour go on sale at 12pm in Sydney and 1pm in Melbourne on Friday, October 23rd.
A Bon Jovi Fan Presale kicks off 12pm in Sydney and 1pm in Melbourne on Tuesday, October 20th, while PayPal First Access Presale commences at the same times in each state on Wednesday, October 21st.
Bon Jovi’s last trip Down Under took place in 2018, while they were promoting their 2016 album, This House Is Not for Sale, and they performed to 159,000 fans across the country during that stint.
One of those in attendance was The Music reviewer Sofia Torchia, who caught the band’s show at Adelaide’s Botanic Park and noted, “It is an impressively long set from a band whose career spans almost four decades. Bad Medicine, Wanted Dead Or Alive, and of course Livin’ On A Prayer are the perfect send-off in an exciting encore that we wish would never end.”
Bon Jovi returned to the stage earlier this year for the first time since 2022, when vocalist Jon Bon Jovi underwent vocal surgery.
It was also confirmed earlier this year that Universal Pictures was developing a biopic on the band.
In 2025, Bon Jovi dropped Forever (Legendary Edition), which featured the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Robbie Williams, Avril Lavigne, and more on reimagined versions of songs from Forever.
