BON JOVI - THE SHOW WILL GO ON

US Icons announce alternative venue to hold their June 10th and 11th shows.

Just like Wembley only different.

London, March 31st, 2006. -- Fans who have bought tickets to see Bon Jovi’s first tour in over 3 years will not be disappointed - they will still get to see one of the world's greatest rock bands live!

Promoters AEG Live have confirmed that the two June dates, originally planned for Wembley Stadium, will now be taking place in the world renowned Milton Keynes National Bowl. After contact with Wembley it is evident that the Stadium will not be ready for the Bon Jovi shows in June. Therefore to ensure that Bon Jovi’s fans are not disappointed, AEG Live And Bon Jovi have decided to move the shows to Milton Keynes.

Bon Jovi's success has been punctuated through the years by numerous sell out shows at The Bowl. It’s therefore only fitting that they should return to UK’s leading outdoor venue which has supported them throughout their career and where they feel right at home.

“Having closed the original Wembley Stadium, it would have been a fitting honor to open the new one," says Jon Bon Jovi. "However, the most important element was always the live concerts themselves. So while the location may have changed, the celebration will remain the same. Thank you to our fans - for your loyalty and your patience. We'll see you for two great nights of rock 'n' roll at Milton Keynes."

The HAVE A NICE DAY tour is the band's first in 3 years. The European leg will kick off in on May 13th in Germany moving onto Ireland and then Holland - with the final stages here in the UK. Joining them on tour are Canadian rock band Nickelback who have stormed the charts on both sides of the Atlantic.

THE FULL UK DATES are as follows:
* June 3rd 2006 - Hampden Park Stadium, Glasgow
* June 4th 2006 - City of Manchester Stadium, Manchester
* June 7th 2006 - Ricoh Arena, Coventry
* June 9th 2006 - The Friends Provident St Mary’s Stadium, Southampton
* June 10th 2006 – The Bowl, Milton Keynes
