“The Forever Tour has been an incredible celebration of the music and the fans who have been with us all these years,” said Jon Bon Jovi. “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. We can’t wait to see you out there!”
In a 2026 interview with Planet Rock‘s Ian Danter, Jon Bon Jovi said he was having “a lot of fun” putting together some sample setlists for the band’s upcoming run because of the ample amount of material in the band’s arsenal. He also revealed that it was a bit overwhelming, so he consulted with Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich about crafting a setlist. Metallica, who are currently playing a different set every night for their Sphere residency in Las Vegas, know a thing or two about keeping a setlist fresh.
“I talked to Lars, I said, ‘So let me get this straight – if you’re doing ‘Master of Puppets’ on one night and ‘One’ on one night, is the audience mad that they’re not there?’ He goes, ‘Nope, we have enough songs that it works.’ He goes, ‘And your catalog…’ And I went, ‘I am digging that concept.'”
“The one thing that I am in control [of] – and the only thing I am in control of at this point – is I do two hours a day, four days a week of sets, of shows. I was looking to the Metallicas. And I talked to Lars, I said, ‘So let me get this straight – if you’re doing ‘Master of Puppets’ on one night and ‘One’ on [another] night, is the audience mad that they’re not there?’ He goes, ‘Nope, we have enough songs that it works.’ He goes, ‘And your catalog…’ And I went, ‘I am digging that concept.'”
Jon did confirm that he isn’t planning on fully embracing Metallica’s No Repeat concept, he did acknowledge that he very well could.
“So, not that we’re going to do that, but I have enough songs and enough hits. I could do two separate entire shows and have hits on both sides. I’m having a lot of fun putting together shows that are multiple night shows.”
When asked if Bon Jovi’s stage setup will be in-the-round, Jon replied: “No, that much I think I know. I’ve seen a couple of couple of diagrams that they’d like to go and build.”
Bon Jovi’ sixteenth studio album Forever came out on June 7, 2024 through Island Records and UMG. It hit No. 5 on the Billboard 200, and No. 2 on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums chart. The record cracked the Top 5 in several countries around the world, while peaking at No. 1 in Switzerland.
It is available on CD, signed CD, cassette, standard black vinyl, limited edition Ocean Waves vinyl, limited edition Ocean Waves vinyl plus an exclusive Instant Photo, limited edition 45 RPM double-LP gatefold black vinyl, and digital download. The lead single “Legendary” is also available as a clear 7-inch vinyl single. Additionally, the band has curated a special merchandise line surrounding the release, which includes t-shirts and hoodies.
“This record is a return to joy,” says frontman Jon Bon Jovi. “From the writing, through the recording process, this is turn-up-the-volume, feel-good Bon Jovi.”
On October 24, the band is set to reissue the album as the Forever (Legendary Edition). The new edition features special guest musicians on every track. The staggering list of talent includes Jelly Roll, Avril Lavigne, Joe Elliot of Def Leppard, and Bruce Springsteen, among others.
This year marked the 40th anniversary of Bon Jovi’s iconic album, Slippery When Wet. It is one of the most successful LPs in rock history. The hit “You Give Love a Bad Name” became Bon Jovi’s first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, followed by the even bigger “Livin’ on a Prayer,” while “Wanted Dead or Alive” reached No. 7. The album itself spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and was Billboard’s top album of 1987.
Its success was international as well, reaching No. 1 in countries including Canada and Australia, and No. 6 in the United Kingdom. Bon Jovi’s official retrospective credits the album with approximately 28 million copies sold worldwide, making it the biggest-selling album of the band’s career. Just as importantly, its success changed Bon Jovi’s status almost overnight: a group that had still been working as a support act around the album’s release soon became a major arena headliner, with its videos dominating MTV and its songs becoming fixtures of rock radio.
Forty years later, Slippery When Wet remains one of the defining rock albums of the 1980s and one of the records most responsible for pushing melodic hard rock and so-called hair metal into the pop mainstream. Its formula—heavy guitars balanced by keyboards, enormous sing-along choruses, glossy production, relatable lyrics and charismatic music videos—became a commercial blueprint that countless hard-rock bands pursued during the remainder of the decade. The album was a breakthrough not only for Bon Jovi, but for hair metal as a whole, helping establish the genre as mainstream popular music rather than a niche branch of heavy rock.
