Bon Jovi Coast To Coast
It was only a matter of time until Bon Jovi revealed its U.S. plans. The first announcement detailing the band’s Canada run was issued in late October, followed by European tour information four days later.
Now the U.S. leg of the global journey has been released showing the band rocking through the country beginning in February. Promoted by AEG Live in the U.S. as well as Canada and the U.K., “Bon Jovi Because We Can – the Tour” has the band playing old favorites as well as showcasing new material from What About Now, scheduled for a spring release.
