Bon Jovi Announces “Forever Tour 2026”
After years away from the road, Bon Jovi is back louder, wiser, and maybe even a little more sentimental. The band just announced their long-awaited 2026 “Forever Tour,” and for longtime fans, it feels like the kind of news that deserves to be shouted from the rooftops (or at least sung in the car on the way to work).

The Comeback Story
Jon Bon Jovi isn’t just returning to tour. He’s returning to himself. After undergoing a vocal cord surgery that sidelined him in 2022, the frontman spent years fighting to regain not just his voice, but his confidence. In the Hulu docuseries Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story, Jon was brutally honest about how scary it was one vocal cord had atrophied so much that performing seemed impossible.
Now, after rehab, reflection, and a lot of patience (from both him and the fans), Jon says he’s ready. “There’s a lot of joy in this announcement,” he said in a statement. “Joy that we can share these nights with our amazing fans and joy that the band can be together again.” You can almost feel that relief the kind that comes when something that once seemed lost comes roaring back.

Album Tie-In: Forever
What makes this comeback even more special is the album tied to it Forever (Legendary Edition). It’s a reimagined version of their 2024 release, peppered with collaborations that feel both surprising and symbolic. Bruce Springsteen jumps in with his gravelly gravitas, Avril Lavigne lends a modern spark, and even Lainey Wilson brings a touch of Nashville soul.
Jon described the project as “an album borne out of necessity.” During recovery, he could sing, but touring wasn’t possible so he invited friends to help him reimagine what Bon Jovi could sound like in this new chapter. Classic but refreshed. Familiar but grown-up.
