Bon Jovi played a mini concert in the new stadium’s parking lot last fall as the band announced “The Circle World Tour.” The band’s New Meadowlands Stadium dates – May 26-27 & 29 – will be the first events held at the venue.

And now the band has revealed their guest list. Train appears May 26, Gavin DeGraw performs May 27 and OneRepublic is slotted for May 29.

Bon Jovi’s world outing – a two-year affair expected to include as many as 135 shows in 30 countries – has played to rave reviews. The San Jose Mercury News described the band as “one of the few acts that manages to come across as both timely and timeless,” and the Las Vegas Sun said the group “gave until there was no more to give. Electrifying, extraordinary, exciting, enthusiastic and exuberant.”
