Bon Jovi to launch new Times Square venue, new album
New Jersey rockers Bon Jovi will christen New York City's new Nokia Theatre Times Square with a performance that will be simulcast live in movie theaters throughout the U.S., and will also be broadcast via the AOL Music website and XM Satellite Radio.
The event begins Sept. 19 at 9 p.m. ET, the day before Bon Jovi's new album, "Have a Nice Day," reaches stores. Ticket information wasn't available at press time.
"This band is about two things--the music and the fans," Bon Jovi frontman Jon Bon Jovi said in a press release. "This team we're working with has given us the opportunity to share new music with our fans on every imaginable level--in person, on the radio, online and in theatres across the country."
Bon Jovi's album launch will be the first event presented by Network LIVE, a new joint venture between America Online, XM Satellite Radio and concert promoter AEG, which owns the Nokia Theatre Times Square as well many movie-theater chains.
The movie-theater simulcast will be beamed in High Definition and 5.1 audio to more than 100 Regal, United Artists, Edwards and Georgia Theatre Company screens in 50 U.S. markets. Details and advance movie-theater tickets will be available at www.BigScreenConcerts.com "shortly," according to a press release.
Bon Jovi plans to hit the road behind "Have a Nice Day" this fall, but details haven't been finalized, according to promoters.
"Have a Nice Day," the follow-up to 2002's "Bounce," was produced by band members Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora with John Shanks (Kelly Clarkson, Hilary Duff).
