Bon Jovi, the renowned rock band, is making waves with their return to live performances, marking a significant moment for fans worldwide. After a hiatus since 2022, Bon Jovi's return to the stage is not just a regular concert; it is a testament to their enduring legacy in the world of rock music. The band's decision to come back, despite frontman Jon Bon Jovi's well-documented vocal issues, highlights their commitment to their craft and their fans. Jon Bon Jovi has made select live appearances since the band’s last major tour, including a solo performance at the MusiCares Awards Person Of The Year ceremony, further fueling anticipation for their full band show. Their Nashville event promises to deliver on nostalgia and quality, presenting fans with a chance to witness the band in an intimate setting at Marathon Music Works.

The setlist for Bon Jovi's first full performance since April 2022 was revealed, showcasing an impressive array of classics and newer songs. Starting with “Beautiful Drug,” the band set the tone for an unforgettable night, seamlessly transitioning into hits such as “We Weren't Born to Follow” and “Lost Highway.” Fans were particularly thrilled with renditions of crowd favorites like “You Give Love a Bad Name” and “Livin' on a Prayer,” which resonated powerfully within the venue. The band also brought back “(You Want to) Make a Memory,” performed for the first time since 2019, adding to the event's special nature.

Runaway Tours, known for their expertly curated music experiences, has set a high bar with this Bon Jovi event. The combination of an intimate setting, direct interaction with the band, and exclusive memorabilia like a signed photo of Jon Bon Jovi contributes to the event's uniqueness. This engagement aligns with Runaway Tours’ previous successful collaborations involving high-profile artists, cementing their reputation as purveyors of exceptional musical events.

Bon Jovi's Nashville concert is also a testament to the band's deep and varied musical catalog, featuring tracks from albums such as “New Jersey,” “Slippery When Wet,” “2020,” “Lost Highway,” and more. Songs from these albums, including “Keep the Faith,” “Blood on Blood,” and “This House Is Not for Sale,” were performed, demonstrating the band's range and ability to connect across different eras of their music. Set against the backdrop of June 14th at Marathon Music Works, this setlist promises to deliver not just nostalgia but also a testament to the enduring appeal of Bon Jovi’s music.
