Eight years is a long time between drinks, but Bon Jovi are finally heading back to Australia. The New Jersey rock legends have announced two massive stadium shows in March 2027, bringing their arsenal of singalong anthems to Melbourne and Sydney for the first time since 2018.

And when you’ve got songs like Livin’ on a Prayer, You Give Love a Bad Name, Wanted Dead or Alive and It’s My Life in your back pocket, there’s no shortage of material to get an entire stadium singing.

Their last Australian tour pulled in close to 160,000 fans, proving the country’s love affair with Bon Jovi is showing little sign of slowing down. This time, they’re keeping things to just two enormous shows, Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on 4 March and Sydney’s Accor Stadium on 11 March.

The dates follow the band’s return to live touring in July 2026, kicking off with a nine-show residency at New York’s Madison Square Garden before taking on some of Europe’s biggest stadiums, including three sold-out nights at Wembley.

With more than 130 million albums sold worldwide and a career stretching back over four decades, Bon Jovi have long since earned their place in rock’s big leagues. But it’s those songs, the ones that have survived changing fashions, shifting lineups and generations of fans, that keep bringing audiences back.

Sydney gets its turn on 11 March, and with only two Australian dates on the calendar, expect plenty of demand. Eight years later, Bon Jovi are ready to give Australia another stadium-sized dose of rock ‘n’ roll.
