Bon Jovi adds more shows, on-sale dates
The itinerary for Bon Jovi 's soon-to-launch U.S. tour continues to grow, and tickets for the new dates are scheduled to hit the box office this weekend.
The New Jersey rockers have penciled in January stops in Oklahoma City and Dallas, and a February stop in Denver, tickets for all of which go on sale Saturday (10/29). On-sales for that day are also set for the tour's stops in the Ft. Lauderdale area, Tampa and Las Vegas. Details are included in the itinerary below.
On Nov. 2, Bon Jovi launches a world tour behind its recently released album, "Have a Nice Day," which surfaced last month and debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 album chart. Band members Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora co-produced the set with John Shanks (Kelly Clarkson, Hilary Duff).
The veteran rock act expects to remain on the road throughout 2006, and has already confirmed a run of European shows for next May and June. The European itinerary is available at the band's official website.
The site also features streaming audio and video of the "Have a Nice Day" title track.
Bon Jovi spent much of last week rehearsing for the upcoming tour at the Expo Theatre on New Jersey's Fort Monmouth army base. After several days of rehearsal, the band gave a private, 14-song performance for base personnel and their families, according to the group's website. The set list for that show is posted at the site.
