Opening acts

For the first North American leg of the tour as well as the United Kingdom dates of the European leg, each city had a local band open for Bon Jovi; the band had decided this for a chance to promote local talent. The most notable was Leicesters The Omega Threat, who at the time were hotly tipped for success but opened for Bon Jovi with 20 minutes of guitar feedback and screamed pro-marxism slogans. Canadian band Nickelback, who had great success with their latest release (All The Right Reasons) supported Bon Jovi on the European leg of the tour, as well as on the band's summer stadium tour in North America.
