Default Support act for Southampton
A local band/artist will be opening for Bon Jovi at St Mary's on 11th June. Ocean FM have been running a competition to choose who it will be.
You can listen to a song from the five finalist at http://www.oceanfm.co.uk/Article.asp?id=694144&spid= and then vote who you would like to win.
According to the terms and conditions of the contests the winning band will get a massive 15 minutes to play so lets hope they've lined up a surprise support act thats more well known or maybe Bon Jovi will come on a hour early and give us something special!!

That's interesting actually, thanks for posting. Hopefully there will be a big support act announced for the remaining UK dates!

All the local support seem to be for 15mins looking at the local press competitions for Bristol, Soton & Coventry. I just hope they have a main support act line up, but it cant be too promising as they havent announced it.

Maybe a support act from the same record company brought in at short notice?

The Bravery played the Ricoh themselves (the smaller arena) so may well be up for a support slot in the main arena, for instance.
