richie did say they would tour in spring. this was after the famous today show interview where jon said they would like to but cant and richard wilkins(interviewer) tried very hard to persuade them.

jon said they would look at it at the end of that interveiw , and aprrox a couple of months later after that interveiw richie said they will tour oz.

if it happens it will be the american spring.

the music max website bon jovi artist page also has similiar info to that.

by the way i personally heard the interview with richie, dont quote me but i am pretty sure it was with nova radio station in which i contacted and they confirmed richie had announced they will tour oz but no dates yet.

makes sense because forgive me if im wrong, american spring would be roughly april / march.
in time for big promo events (commonwealth games) possibly
and what i see fits the current schedule
there is enough presale time

just some info.

P.S. apparently it has been confirmed with universal music but i have not heard that first hand
