NEW YORK — Jon Bon Jovi will launch the Forever Tour on July 7, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in New York, marking his return to major performances. The tour schedule includes consecutive performances at Madison Square Garden throughout July.

Additional concerts are scheduled for August 28 in Edinburgh, August 30 in Dublin, and September 4, 6, and 9 in London. This tour follows Bon Jovi's vocal cord surgery in 2022. The surgical procedure involved placing an implant to improve vocal cord alignment.

Following the surgery, Bon Jovi participated in a rehabilitation program. This program included vocal exercises and instruction from singing teachers. He stated that his vocal function would not have returned without the 2022 medical procedure. The band Bon Jovi released the album Forever in June 2024.

Regarding his recovery process, Bon Jovi said, "It was longer than I'd ever expected, but it had to be right. We never lost faith." He also said the band considered neither retirement nor seeking alternative employment during his recovery period. He described his post-surgical return to performance as a rebirth during a published interview.

Bon Jovi stated the group has prepared 50 songs for performances and plans to rotate setlists each night. The singer, who is 64 years old, also spoke about his bandmates. "The sacrifices that each one of them have made to be there for me is on a whole 'nother level," Bon Jovi said.

No independent assessment of Jon Bon Jovi’s claims was available.
