I went to the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball last year (in other words, a similar show by the same organizer, targeting the mainstream demographic), which had Taylor Swift as a headliner (who did 9 songs), and support acts Sam Smith, The Script, Anne Marie, Mabel, Tom Walker, among others. The audience had mostly teenagers a few young adults like me.
I felt like sharing this to give some context, illustrating how big Bon Jovi must have been in the mainstream still in 2002, at least in the UK. As you correctly pointed out, they would have no chance to be booked for something like this.
