Bon Jovi's 'Bounce' tour hits the U.S., Canada
Following their January tour of Japan, Jon Bon Jovi and company return to the U.S. for the February kick-off their North American outing in support of last year's "Bounce."
Fellow pop-rock act the Goo Goo Dolls, which is backing last May's "Gutterflower," holds down the tour's opening slot.
Bon Jovi's set list is expected to focus on cuts from the new album, and will also include material spanning the band's entire career, according to Island Records.
Driven by the hit single "Everyday," "Bounce" entered the Billboard 200 album chart at No. 2 in October, the highest chart debut in Bon Jovi's history.
Bon Jovi's previous studio album, "Crush," was released in June of 2000, and has been certified double platinum for shipping more than 2 million copies in the U.S.
