“As
AEG Live embarks on its fourth collaboration with one of today’s
greatest original rock bands, it is no surprise that they are going to
sell out stadiums and arenas around the globe, since Bon Jovi has
consistently delivered the goods to their hardcore and new fans alike,”
said Randy Phillips, President & CEO of AEG Live. “‘Because We Can -
The Tour’ will again showcase Bon Jovi’s immense catalog of hits and
some incredible new music from the forthcoming What About Now album and
the signature state-of-the-art production that have become the hallmarks
of Bon Jovi tours.”
Overwhelming
demand for the band’s previously announced Canadian dates has already
led to second shows in Montreal and Toronto, and Bon Jovi has plenty
more in store. The band will expand their current tour schedule with
additional North American dates including Gillette Stadium in Foxboro,
MA; Ford Field in Detroit, MI, and many more. The current tour itinerary
is listed below, with further details to come. View U.S. tour
announcement video here.
The tour, promoted by AEG Live in the U.S., Canada and the U.K., will debut brand new songs from Bon Jovi’s upcoming album What About Now,
to be released in Spring 2013, loading even more ammunition into the
band’s huge arsenal of hits. The group’s return to the road in 2013
will launch the latest chapter in an ongoing blockbuster run which has
already secured Bon Jovi’s status as the essential live rock band
– having performed more than 2,700 concerts in over 50 countries for
more than 35 million fans. “BON JOVI Because We Can – The Tour” will
make its way across the globe with dates in Europe, the Far East,
Africa, Latin America and Australia.
