First photo of the 2013 Tour stage

Amazing stage. I agree, it´s the best stadium stage since OWN tour.
Must to say that 2010 and 2013 arena stage are great too.

I hate here in South America they use to bring a generic one because it´s most economy for them.

If I remember correctly Jon said "we're not skipping on production this time and we'll bring the stage all over the world".

Don't remember the exact interview though.

I think the dates are spaced far enough apart that the stage can be used at all the shows. I couldn't imagine Jon starting a leg of the tour without this stage, especially since it seems to be quite a big deal.

Aloha !

If that stage looks as good in daylight as it does when half of it is in the dark I think it's fair to say it's the first stadium stage that actually looks good.

They carry 2 stages around, when one is being build the other is being transported to the next location. U2, the Stones, all bands playing stadium tours do it like this. It costs a fortune to take a stage to a continent though, hence I'm being skeptical as to this one arriving in South America or South Africa. When spread out over just 2 or 3 shows it'd make the shows a lot less financially interesting.

Stage looks fantastic. I was a massive fan of the one on the Arena tour and was gutted when they said we wouldn't get it in Europe but this looks just as good.

Hopefully it is.

It is correct that they usually carry 2 or 3 stages on a world tour. Other projects of Stageco included the 360° Tour of U2 (126 trucks!), The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Muse, Madonna, etc. A local Belgian TV station said the Bon Jovi stage will be used for the first time on May, 7, which means South Africa, right?
The stage is 53 meters wide and 25 meters high. You can see it from miles away. I will take a daylight picture today and post it tonight.

Tico in an interview to an Austrian newspaper said they need 45 trucks for the new stage

Yeah, that's what it means. I guess Jon was being serious about bringing it everywhere, there are only two shows in South Africa. Thanks for the precious picture and info!

Spectacular stage! Best stage they've had since 2001 if it looks as good in daylight as it does in the dark..

WOW. Loving the headlights at the side. That is gonna look amazing in the dark.
