Bon Jovi are taking the Forever Tour to a college football cathedral, booking Notre Dame Stadium for one of the biggest nights of their comeback.
The band have added two more 2027 stadium dates: a second and final show at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium on Saturday, August 7, and a newly announced concert at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana, on Saturday, October 2. Notre Dame Hospitality says the South Bend show will cap the band’s long-awaited return to touring, in front of a crowd of more than 80,000.
The Toronto addition doubles up on the August 4 Rogers Stadium date that arrived with the October tour announcement. Selling out one stadium night and then calling a second “final” is an old trick, but it only works when the demand is real, and Bon Jovi clearly believe it is.
An artist presale starts Wednesday, November 11 at 10 a.m. local time, with general on-sale following Friday, November 13 at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster, WTHR reports. Fans can register for presale access through the band’s own channels, with further presales running during the week.
The new dates bolt onto a 2027 route that already takes in two nights at the Tokyo Dome, Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, Sydney’s Accor Stadium and BST Hyde Park in London. In the US, the run stops at MetLife Stadium, Soldier Field and Gillette Stadium before the band head north to Toronto.
It is a remarkable map for a band whose frontman spent years unsure his voice would hold up on the road. The 2026 leg, built around nine nights at Madison Square Garden plus stadiums in Edinburgh, Dublin and London, was the test; this is what passing it looks like.
South Bend is the inspired pick. Jon Bon Jovi’s son Jesse played for the Fighting Irish, and few venues outside New Jersey can claim that kind of family connection to the band, so October 2 already looks like the date to circle.
Expect tickets for that night to go quickly once the presale doors open.
