As of November 14, 2025, Jon Bon Jovi and the band have indeed confirmed a limited 2026 tour marking their return to the stage after a four-year hiatus—primarily due to Jon’s vocal cord surgery and recovery (documented in the 2024 Hulu series *Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story*). However, it is **not** titled “One Last Ride,” nor is it positioned as a farewell or “final” tour. Jon has emphasized joy and excitement about performing again, not retirement from the road.
The real 2026 shows (often referred to informally as the “Forever Tour” in media) are a series of high-demand stadium and arena dates, starting with an extended residency at Madison Square Garden:
– July 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 19, 21, 23, 26, 2026 – New York, NY @ Madison Square Garden (9 shows, added due to demand)
– August 28, 2026 – Edinburgh, UK @ Murrayfield Stadium
– August 30, 2026 – Dublin, Ireland @ Croke Park
– September 4, 2026 – London, UK @ Wembley Stadium (additional dates added)
More dates may be announced, but this is the current official itinerary from bonjovi.com and Live Nation.
The “**One Last Ride**” name has been widely misused in viral fake posters and clickbait articles throughout 2025, often claiming impossible joint farewells with artists like P!nk, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, or others. These are fabricated (many AI-generated) and have been debunked by fact-checks and the band’s own channels. Bon Jovi’s actual comeback is a celebration of recovery and classics like “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “It’s My Life,” and tracks from their 2024 album *Forever*—not a “soul-stirring final revival.”
Tickets are on sale via official channels; avoid resellers hyping fake “farewell” urgency. Fans have waited years for this real return—don’t fall for the hoax! (312 words)
