WINNIPEG – Bon Jovi is hoping Winnipeg fans will join them in the circle.
The New Jersey rock band will play Canad Inns Stadium July 17, 2010 as part of their forthcoming The Circle World Tour. Ticket information has not yet been announced.
The band announced the tour during a press conference Thursday in front of New Jersey’s New Meadowlands Stadium, where they also performed six songs.
Bon Jovi will tour for most of 2010 and 2011 playing 135 shows in 30 countries.
“Bon Jovi is a band that continues to reestablish themselves at the top of the rock music game. They’re going to play a number of major stadiums and we’re thrilled that Winnipeg and Canad Inns Stadium has now hit that list,” said Kevin Donnelly, MTS Centre senior vice president and general manager, who is working in a partnership with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to bring concerts to the stadium, including this past June’s Rock on the Range multi-band event and AC/DC’s Aug. 22 show.
Bon Jovi last played Winnipeg in 2007 as part of their Lost Highway Tour in support of their country album of the same name, selling out the MTS Centre in minutes.
“It was an over-the-top success, and until Metallica, it was our highest-attended show ever,” Donnelly said, adding both shows attracted more than 16,000 people, with Metallica selling more because of general admission on the floor.
Bon Jovi’s new album, The Circle, will be released Nov. 10.
