Marking a much-anticipated return to live touring, Bon Jovi sets concert date in Edinburgh
Starting in July of 2026 at New York’s famed Madison Square Garden and concluding at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium. The tour is produced by Live Nation, the full itinerary is below and at www.BonJovi.com.
The tour announcement comes after a much-documented vocal cord surgery and rehab process seen in the critically acclaimed Hulu docu-series Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story. Speaking to today’s announcement, Jon Bon Jovi said:
“There is a lot of joy in this announcement – joy that we can share these nights together with our amazing fans and joy that the band can be together. I am lucky enough to be able to hold a light out to the audience each night and stand in their reflection for a tremendous collective experience – I get to stand in the WE of our concerts. And I’ve spoken extensively on my gratitude but I will say it again, I’m deeply grateful that the fans and the brotherhood of this band have been patient and allowed me the time needed to get healthy and prepare for touring. I’m ready and excited!”

Celebrating the Centenary of Scottish Gas Murrayfield this year, Scottish Rugby has already announced one other concert for the 2026 season. Luke Combs announced his tour earlier this month with the demand for tickets being so that a second date was announced earlier this week. These announcements come off the back of the busiest concert season ever for the stadium, with three artists over five nights throughout the summer.
Robbie Williams kicked off the 2025 season with the opening night of his BRITPOP Tour. Oasis then returned to Scottish Gas Murrayfield for three nights and 204,000 fans as part of their long-awaited reunion tour. Rock n Roll legends, AC/DC then concluded the summer of concerts in the stadium, as well the European leg of their ‘POWER UP’ tour.
The Murrayfield Campus hosts over 50 major events per year. Ranging from sold-out Scotland international rugby matches at Scottish Gas Murrayfield, matches at Hive Stadium for Edinburgh Rugby, Scotland Women and U20, community rugby finals days for adult and youth competitions, corporate and business conferences and national fundraising events such as Kiltwalk and Men’s 10k and of course concerts. Next year, Scottish Gas Murrayfield will also be host to the Guinness Women’s Six Nations when Scotland take on the recently crowned World Champions, The Red Roses.
Last year, Scottish Rugby announced that it received an independent evaluation of its overall economic value to Scotland. The valuation covers from June to December 2024 and incorporates home matches for the national men’s and women’s teams; Edinburgh Rugby and Glasgow Warriors’ home fixtures; and the concerts and events hosted at Murrayfield and comes in at £120.4million.
Of that, more than one third was spent by visitors whose home was outside of Scotland at £41.9million. The media impact – included in the total figure – was calculated at £13.2million, of which the Taylor Swift |The Eras Tour staged at Murrayfield last June generated media coverage alone worth £8.3million.
All events at the Murrayfield Campus are supported by The Safety Advisory Group, a multi-agency group chaired by City of Edinburgh Council, and includes Scottish Rugby, emergency services, transport providers, and security/medical teams.
In tandem with today’s tour announcement, the band will release their latest studio album FOREVER (Legendary Edition) out Friday which is a star-studded collaboration album featuring reimagined takes on the band’s latest songs from their FOREVER album with some of the biggest names in music.
See the official website for tracklisting which includes a diverse array of artists including Bruce Springsteen and Robbie Williams who have both also played at Scottish Gas Murrayfield, as well as Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, Carin Leon, Joe Elliott, Avril Lavigne and more.
