I know there's quite a few on this board, so in case you haven't yet heard:

Announcing Bon Jovi: Because We Can - The Tour

The best just got bigger. Bringing their signature brand of rock ‘n’ roll back to the people, Bon Jovi will hit the road in 2013 to fill stadiums and arenas worldwide with Bon Jovi Because We Can – The Tour.
Blazing a trail across the globe, the tour will kick off in North America in February, just in time for Valentine’s Day, and travel throughout Europe, the Far East, Africa, Latin America and Australia. The band’s return to the road in 2013 will cap an incredible run which has secured Bon Jovi’s status as the essential live rock band – having performed more than 2,700 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 35 million fans, and earning the #1 grossing worldwide tour twice in just three years.
Because We Can – The Tour will also debut brand new songs from new album What About Now, due out in Spring 2013, loading even more ammunition into the band’s huge arsenal of hits including “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “You Give Love a Bad Name,” “Who Says You Can’t Go Home,” “It’s My Life,” and many more.

Sounds stupid, but I love when people say "I made their day". I know how such a thing can make my day, so to spread the love is a good feeling.:)

Jon Bon Jovi Talks Touring, Album Plans at iHeartRadio Festival​

An elite touring band for years, Bon Jovi has found a new gear in this millennium, with more than 500 shows at stadiums and arenas around the globe since 2000, moving just under 13 million tickets, resulting in a gross just shy of $1 billion at the box office, according to Billboard Boxscore. Bon Jovi tours finished as Billboard's highest-grossing tour of the year twice in three years, 2008 and 2010, a feat only accomplished by the Rolling Stones and the Grateful Dead.

The "Circle" world tour wrapped in the summer of 2011 with a $365 million total gross, according to Boxscore, making it seventh all time among the highest grossing tours in history. The preceding "Lost Highway" tour found the band not only building its North American and European audiences, but also selling out shows in Japan, Australia, New Zealand and South America and grossed over $210 million.

In an interview with Billboard last year, front man Jon Bon Jovi talked about the band's global popularity and the broad demographic of the band's fans.

"I'm very aware that there are two generations of fans out there," he said. "We've known that for the last decade. But I don't look like the fat old guy yet, either. I'm not in the 'fat Elvis' suit yet."

I was fortunate to win tickets to the concert a couple of years ago at Soldier Field. My then 16 year old son who is pretty much a metal head even had a great time. I have to say, it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. That coupled with the filming of Transformers downtown Chicago made for a fun long weekend for my son and me.

Now, if I could ever win or score tickets to see U2, my bucket list would just about be complete!
