Bon Jovi Add Support For New Meadowlands Shows

Bon Jovi has announced special guests for the band's upcoming run of shows inaugurating New Jersey's New Meadowlands football stadium.

The veteran rockers will receive opening support from Train (May 26), Gavin DeGraw (5/27) and OneRepublic (5/29) during the historic stretch in East Rutherford, NJ, which officially opens the future football home of the NFL's New York Giants and New York Jets.

The band is currently entering the spring and summer stretch of its long-running Circle World Tour, which continued Monday night (3/29) in Washington, DC, then picks up again next month with a pair of shows (4/7-8) in St. Paul, MN. The current leg of the outing - which includes a few European dates in June - concludes July 30 in Chicago. Dates are at this location.

Bon Jovi's international schedule can be found at the band's website.

Released in November, "The Circle" is Bon Jovi's 10th studio album. The group worked with producer John Shanks (Sheryl Crow, Jane's Addiction) on the set, which immediately claimed the top slot on The Billboard 200, marking the group's second straight chart-topping debut and fourth overall. The album sold 163,000 copies during its first week of release, according to Nielsen Soundscan.

Who thew ants to see OneRepublic supporting? I'm a huge fan of BJ and their works in the 80s and 90s. but that's poor. Sometimes I feel like the supermodern JBJ lost himself in the 90s... what's next? producing albums with Timbaland?

I agree, I miss the riff-ey rock they use to do. If I was your mother from Keep the Faith is such a great riff

Ryan Tedder is a hell of a songwriter, why don't you try listening to the band a bit before judging. Jon and the boys have been at it a hell of a lot longer than you have.

Can someone slap Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora so they can create a couple of These Days-like albums and make them happy, us happy, ISLAND happy.... Sambora kicked some major ass on that album, so did Jon. The Circle ain't bad, but ain't good enough either...
