BON JOVI TICKETS

About

In the pantheon of Rock and Roll, few bands have been as enduring and impactful as the legendary Bon Jovi. This New Jersey-based group, named after its charismatic frontman Jon Bon Jovi, took the rock scene by storm with its brand of rock, which is characterised by its catchy hooks, anthem-like choruses, and unyielding high energy.

Formed in 1983, Bon Jovi's explosive rise to fame came swiftly with their third album, Slippery When Wet, which was released in 1986. Featuring classic tracks like “Livin' on a Prayer”, and "You Give Love a Bad Name," (who can’t sing along to these tunes?) the album catapulted Bon Jovi into superstardom – with both songs reaching the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

The Embodiment of the 80s Rock Scene

A factor that has allowed the band to take hold of the limelight and stay within it for so many years is the way they wholeheartedly embodied an iconic decade. Bon Jovi's music spoke to the grunge of the times, and their style fused the big hair and glam of the 80s rock scene with heartland rock aesthetics, creating a cross-over appeal that was both accessible and popular. The band wasn't just a group of musicians – they became a symbol of the decade’s rock scene.

Evolving with the Times

However, Bon Jovi's success wasn't confined to one decade or one sound. Known for their ability to evolve with the times, the band adapted their music to incorporate different elements from various genres. This malleability became evident as the band transitioned from their classic 80s rock sound into a more mature, contemporary style.

A Legacy of Hits and Global Impact

Throughout their illustrious career, Bon Jovi has released numerous hit albums and singles, won several awards, and sold over 100 million records worldwide. The band's impact goes beyond their music, touching the hearts of millions and serving as a testament to the enduring power of Rock and Roll.

While the band hasn't toured Australia since their This House Is Not for Sale tour in 2018, there's increasing speculation suggesting a comeback might be on the horizon.
