It takes a mighty band to plow through the Canadian winter in February, but Bon Jovi is up to it. With zillions of record sales and awards making up the New Jersey band’s legacy, Bon Jovi will blaze a trail through the Great White North on its mission to entertain the multitudes.

Along with old favorites such as “Bad Medicine” and “Living On A Prayer,” Bon Jovi will have new music to debut. The band’s upcoming album, What About Now, will be released in the spring.

So far, the AEG Live tour has three stops in February and three in April. Here’s the routing:

Feb. 13 – Montreal, Quebec, Bell Centre
Feb. 17 – Toronto, Ontario, Air Canada Centre
Feb. 20 – Ottawa, Ontario, Scotiabank Place
April 2 – Calgary, Alberta, Scotiabank Saddledome
April 3 – Edmonton, Alberta, Rexall Place
April 5 – Winnipeg, Manitoba, MTS Centre
