Bon Jovi to back 'Have a Nice Day' with world tour
Veteran rockers Bon Jovi will back their forthcoming album, "Have a Nice Day," with a world tour that gets underway this fall in North America.
The North American leg kicks off in early November, and dates are stacked up through late December. As expected, the Jersey-based band will play multiple nights at some venues in the Northeast, with two-night stands set for New York City, Philadelphia and their home state.
A trio of early 2006 dates are also booked. Details are shown below.
Additional North American stops will be announced soon, and will include shows in Dallas; Atlanta; Seattle; Portland, OR; Milwaukee; Nashville; Houston; San Jose, CA; Los Angeles; Phoenix and Las Vegas, according to a press release.
Ticket on-sale information will be announced in the coming weeks, and will be available at the tour's official website. The site is also streaming the "Have a Nice Day" title track.
The upcoming tour, Bon Jovi's first since 2003, will span the globe and will keep the group on the road throughout 2006, according to organizers.
The band's production team is "envisioning and constructing a stage production that incorporates the staging, lighting and video elements that guarantee fans the best concert experience imaginable," according to a press release.
"Have a Nice Day," Bon Jovi's follow-up to 2002's "Bounce," will land in stores Sept. 20. As previously reported the group will mark the release with a concert at New York City's new Nokia Theatre Times Square. The show, which will be the venue's inaugural event, will be simulcast live in movie theaters throughout the U.S., and will also be broadcast via the AOL Music website.
Band members Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora co-produced "Have a Nice Day" with John Shanks (Kelly Clarkson, Hilary Duff).
