Fans are very excited about the upcoming tour. In addition to playing their standard hits, Bon Jovi is also planning to perform a lot of album tracks that the band hasn’t performed in many years.

In terms of the tour’s set lists guitarist Richie Sambora said, let’s put it this way, the repertoire will be quite vast. We will be going back and playing some material we haven’t performed in 20 years, such as songs from our first two albums. There are so many albums and songs for us to choose from. Fans will call in lots of times to our fan club. They’ll say hey can you do “Dry Country”or maybe “Hardest Part is the Night” from our second album and obscure stuff like that. That’s what we plan to do.

There might be a night when we will perform the entire album “Lost Highway” or “Slippery When Wet.” Stuff like that. Then I’m sure we will be performing the entire “The Circle” a couple times on the tour. We’ve very proud of this album and the evolution that occurred while making this record in terms of songwriting and musically and stuff like that.
