Bon Jovi fills more gaps in 2006 tour schedule
New Jersey rockers Bon Jovi wrap up their 2005 roadwork on Thursday (12/22) with the third of three consecutive hometown shows, but they'll be back on the road next month to tackle an itinerary that continues to grow.
Since last check, the group has added a number of January and February concerts to its schedule, including new stops in Milwaukee, Toronto, Atlantic City and Atlanta, as well as a second performance in Tampa, FL. The tour is still slated to kick off Jan. 14 in Oklahoma City, and is still capped by a March 11 show in Las Vegas. Details are shown below.
Bon Jovi is nearing the end of the first North American leg of its "Have a Nice Day" world tour, which launched last month. The tour takes its name from Bon Jovi's latest album, which surfaced in September and moved 201,881 copies during its first week in stores, a career-high first-week total for the group.
Co-produced by band members Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora along with John Shanks (Kelly Clarkson, Hilary Duff), "Have a Nice Day" debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 album chart.
Bon Jovi expects to remain on the road throughout 2006, and will follow the second leg of its North American jaunt with a round of European shows set for May and June. The European itinerary is available at the band's official website.
On Tuesday (12/20), Bon Jovi and cable-television company Comcast announced the launch of an ON DEMAND program that features behind-the-scenes and performance footage shot during the first leg of the "Have a Nice Day" tour, as well as making-of clips that capture the group filming the music videos for the "Have a Nice Day" cuts "Who Says You Can't Go Home Again" and "Welcome to Wherever You Are." Additional details are posted at the group's website.
