Bon Jovi at 2011 NO Jazz festival Apr 30th

I have never said I am best buddy's with JBJ.

You are the one who is constantly telling us what Jon is thinking and all his motives for everything he does.

You mean you don't know?

I am telling you what I know and can tell you. Israel is not going to be that week, the shows in May are going to be in the US and Canada.

fine, why dont you tell us when you think they will play israel? did they plan to extend the north america tour from the beggining?? and sth last is there a chance they will keep pu touring after august?

It's not rocket science if you've been paying attention on here. For those that haven't, there have been rumored dates in Florida for this upcoming North American leg forever, the most publicized coming from a bunch of press and media reporting that Bon Jovi would play Orlando's new Amway arena in April.

So since they already have dates spanning until the end of March, they will probably add more dates into April. They will most likely take most of May (at least 3-4 weeks) as they normally due before heading overseas for their 2 month trek because that's the way they have ben spacing tours the past few tours.

Looking at the schedule, I can't see much room for squeezing Israel in. Putting it before the already scheduled dates makes perfect sense because it will serve as a warm up show as well. Some of that market will have never seen Bon Jovi and the standard 20 song setlist in Jon's mind will be enough.

True.

I've got no desire to go to Jazz Fest so I'll be skipping this one even if it is the closest they'll come to where I live.

Seb please read what I wrote, where did I say they would not play Israel? Why am I paranoid? Difficulty reading on your part.

US and Canada dates will be in May, not in April.

I would agree with Israel going before the European Tour but 2011 is different.

Congrats on being part of the Sports Management program at your school. Excellent school. You don't have to answer but were you backstage last March in catering? Your mom was sitting someplace in the arena with a friend. If it isn't you, I met someone that night who was also doing the same sports management program as you.
When do you graduate from the program?

Aloha !

HappyFan, please read what I wrote, where did I say that you said they would not play Israel? Difficulty reading on your part, something you have been accusing others of before yet it's obvious you have a talent for trying to spin words that way so they could help you get a point.

I referred to paranoid behaviour as to you hinting it'd be too dangerous shortly before the tour, and your country has a thing for being paranoid. But knowing you, you'd probably feel to bring up your Americanism in this thread by saying that Europeans wouldn't know because we don't live in America and all of that other crap you've been spouting off recently.

I really didn't take you for being a drama mama, was wrong in that. I was not hinting at security at all furthest thing from it actually.

If you know anything about america's cultures and customs you would know why Jon won't be doing an Israel concert the week before the EU tour starts.

Aloha !

Yeah, let's call me the drama mama. You're the one acting on this board as if you're suffering from a permanent PMS syndrome.

I know plenty, you know nothing, yet you feel like you should show off as to how much you pretend to know. So explain to me, oh so wise and patriotic HappyFan. Explain to us unknowing human beings from Europe what American culture and customs has to do with being unable to play Israel one week before a European tour, while Metallica played Tel Aviv on May 22, and Lyon, France on May 23. Enlighten me.

Salaam Aleikum,

Stephanie turns 18 on may 31th... is that THE REASON for Jon to be in the usa ?.... not sure ...it's not like Stephanie is tied to stay in the usa she can celebrate in Israel .... and the tour stars on june 8th so the guys CAN be in israel before europe

I have no info I am not the buddy of anyone but honestly I have never seen the band not play for a birthday .. for anyone birthday ....
