Bon Jovi are one of the most iconic rock bands of all time, selling over 130 million albums worldwide and performing thousands of concerts around the globe. Their illustrious career has seen them inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and their huge catalog of hit anthems is still loved by fans of all ages. With over 34 million albums sold in the US alone, it’s no surprise that they’re still packing arenas for their shows.
When the first chords of a Bon Jovi hit ring out, the entire crowd erupts in a collective roar. The group have been touring since the 1980s, and their stage presence is timeless. Even at their ripe old age, the band continue to wow their audiences with over two hours of high energy hits. The crowd will be singing and dancing the whole night through, from classics like Slippery When Wet to more recent songs such as New Jersey and Love Never Fails.
The band’s massive production is designed to blow away their audience, with 10 LED screens and a 4,300-square foot high-definition video screen that’s touted as the largest of its kind. Jon Bon Jovi is a showman first and foremost, he oozes charisma on stage and has a way of connecting with the crowd that’s second to none. He may be getting a little older, but his voice is still as strong as ever and his New Jersey swagger is infectious.
The other members of the band, David Bryan on bass, Tico Torres on guitar and Phil X on drums, are all world class musicians in their own right, but it’s the frontman who really keeps the show going. His timing is spot on, and he has a knack for reading the crowd and knowing exactly when to push the pace or pull back.
Bon Jovi’s last tour was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the band have been keeping busy with benefit shows and livestreamed gigs. They also released their politically minded album 2020 in October of their namesake year, which included songs about the pandemic and demonstrations for racial justice.
