Bon Jovi - Rock In Rio?

Aloha !

Since they've been asked to do that festival twice now, there's a good chance they'll do it now. It's always in June, and they're in Barcelona, Spain on the second of June, I think they'll do it this time. Any thoughts?

Salaam Aleikum,

And where wold that fit in? They do have a pretty tight schedule in june...
I would like for them to do it, but I cant see it happening.

The schedule would allow for it, and like seb says, they've been asked twice, so yeah they'll do it. May be a bit...lacklustre to save for other BJ shows

Aloha !

Rock In Rio is always broadcasted on TV, and they will headline for sure. So if they'd save up for other shows it would result in a poor TV show. Also, the crowds at Rock In Rio are immense, so that should get them fired up, don't you think?

Possibly off-topic, but I cant believe they are touring that many countries this time with a record that was written entirelx for the us market...they must have a GH in the pipe.

I don't care at all.

Things changed, BJ is not rock anymore and Rock in Rio is not even in Rio anymore !

It's not? What's the point of calling it that then? And I agree about BJ.

Is it wrong for me to hope that if they do play this show, they'll be motivated enough to actually rock?

Well on here - http://bonjovi.aeglive.com/vcard/ - if you go to Tourdates there is a scrolling list of cities behind them, and Lisbon is on there

Aloha !

I know it sounds odd of them having moved the festival to Lisboa, but it's simply because the travelling to a festival in South America was the motivation for a lot of bands to say no the a request of playing. It's simply too expensive for most bands, which is why Bon Jovi and many other bands refuse to play there. It's just a pity it's so far away and cost me too much, or I'd happily exchange my London trip for a trip to Portugal.

And most of Rock In Rio is broadcasted too, so this will mean Bon Jovi can't get away with a lazy performance too, they'll have to play a good set, since they'll probably headlining it too, together with Iron Maiden (who are already confirmed to play there).

Salaam Aleikum,

I don't think thay'll make it.
Rock in rio will be from May 30-31 and June 6-8 in Lisbon and June 27, 28 and July 4-6 in Madrid.
