Bon Jovi lines up winter Canadian trek

Bon Jovi will tackle a late-year romp through the Great White North after helping launch Newark, NJ's new Prudential Center with a 10-night run this fall.

The Canadian visit kicks off Nov. 14 in Montreal, with the veteran New Jersey rockers hitting nine cities during the outing, which runs through mid-December. The trek will follow the Prudential Center opening, where the band will tackle ten shows in just over two weeks, starting with an Oct. 25 performance.

My Chemical Romance , Big & Rich , Gretchen Wilson , Daughtry and The All-American Rejects will each hold down a pair of support dates during the Prudential stint; check Bon Jovi's website to match names with specific dates.

Bon Jovi is touring behind "Lost Highway," its ninth album of original material, and first since 2005's platinum-selling "Have a Nice Day," which spawned the Grammy-winning duet "Who Says You Can't Go Home" with Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles.

With 292,000 copies moved in its first week on store shelves, "Lost Highway" debuted in the No. 1 position on the US album chart back in June, marking the band's first chart-topping set since 1988's "New Jersey."
