Bon Jovi stops by more cities along 'Lost Highway'
Two weeks into its massive world tour, Bon Jovi continues to add more dates to next year's US run.
Since last check, one show has been added in Milwaukee, a two-night stand has been booked in Uncasville, CT, and second and third nights have been tacked on in St. Paul, MN, and Chicago, respectively. Details are listed below.
Bon Jovi got the ball rolling last month with a 10-night engagement at Newark, NJ's new Prudential Center. The tour officially launched Nov. 14 in Montreal and the band continues its trek through Canada into mid-December. The rockers will then head for Japan, Australia and New Zealand in January before kicking off the US leg of the tour Feb. 18 in Omaha, NE. Once the American trek wraps in late April, the band will mount a five-week tour of Europe. Overseas shows can be found at Bon Jovi's website.
Canadian rock quartet Hedley, a finalist from reality show "Canadian Idol," is supporting Bon Jovi in Canada. Rock band Daughtry , which is led by "American Idol" finalist Chris Daughtry, will take over in the US.
Bon Jovi is backing its latest No. 1 album, "Lost Highway," which surfaced in June. The Nashville-inspired set is the band's ninth album of original material and its first chart-topper since 1988's "New Jersey." It follows 2005's platinum-selling "Have a Nice Day," which spawned the Grammy-winning duet "Who Says You Can't Go Home" with Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles.
Three singles from "Lost Highway"--the title track, "(You Want To) Make a Memory" and "Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore" featuring LeAnn Rimes--are currently making waves on country and adult radio charts. The new video for the Rimes duet is streaming at Bon Jovi's website.
Earlier this month, the band also released the DVD "Lost Highway: The Concert," which captures the rockers' July 30 show in Chicago, where they performed the new album in its entirety along with several hits. The DVD includes an additional 30 minutes of concert footage and exclusive backstage interviews that were not seen during the film's recent movie theater and small-screen premieres.
