US rock icons Bon Jovi have officially announced their highly anticipated 2026 UK tour, with massive shows scheduled in London, Edinburgh, and Dublin. The announcement coincides with the release of a special edition of their latest album, Forever (Legendary Edition), featuring a star-studded lineup of guest artists.
The Forever Tour marks a milestone for the band as frontman Jon Bon Jovi continues his comeback following vocal cord surgery and recovery. Fans are calling it a “triumphant return” for the legendary rock group that has defined arena anthems for nearly four decades.
Bon Jovi’s “Forever Tour” Heads to London and Edinburgh
The 2026 Forever Tour will see Bon Jovi performing two major UK stadium dates: Edinburgh’s Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium on August 28 and London’s Wembley Stadium on September 4, with a stop at Dublin’s Croke Park in between.
These shows are expected to draw massive crowds, marking Bon Jovi’s first major UK tour since before the pandemic. The concerts will celebrate their sixteenth studio album, Forever, released in June 2024, and showcase reimagined hits with fresh collaborations.
Fans can expect a mix of nostalgia and new energy, with timeless tracks like Livin’ on a Prayer and It’s My Life performed alongside Forever’s newer anthems.
Forever (Legendary Edition): A Star-Studded Collaboration Album
Alongside the tour, Bon Jovi announced Forever (Legendary Edition), a revamped version of their 2024 album that includes collaborations with Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, Carin Leon, Joe Elliott, Robbie Williams, and Avril Lavigne.
Jon Bon Jovi described the project as “an album born out of necessity,” referencing his recovery from vocal cord surgery and the challenge of touring during rehabilitation. He explained that the album represents “a collaboration of friends and artists who helped bring a new spirit to the music.”
The Legendary Edition embodies the band’s enduring message, that music and unity can transcend hardship.
