The tour's set list is expected to focus on cuts from Bon Jovi's new album, "Bounce," 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.
