Bon Jovi adds shows in Southern California

New Jersey rockers Bon Jovi , who continue to post sellouts for many of the dates on their just-launched tour, have added a pair of Southern California dates to their schedule.

The group will hit Anaheim's Arrowhead Pond on Feb. 25, and will touch down at Los Angeles' Staples Center on March 3. Tickets for both shows go on sale Saturday (11/5).

The shows are the newest additions to Bon Jovi's "Have a Nice Day" tour, which kicked off Wednesday (11/2) in Des Moines, IA. The outing's first leg runs until just before Christmas, and the second leg is slated to run from mid-January to mid-March. Details appear below.

Released in September, Bon Jovi's latest album, "Have a Nice Day," moved 201,881 copies during its first week in stores, which is a career-high first-week total for the group, according to a press release. The set--co-produced by band members Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora along with John Shanks (Kelly Clarkson, Hilary Duff)--debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 album chart.

Bon Jovi expects to remain on the road throughout 2006, and has already confirmed a run of European shows for next May and June. The European itinerary is available at the band's official website.

The site also features streaming audio and video of the "Have a Nice Day" title track.
