Hmm I wonder if he means a new track or two from the new album? Has Bon Jovi ever played a new song in concert way before a new album reveal? Some bands do.

At this point, I'd be happy with a set list change that includes Labor of Love or Born Again Tomorrow. Please Jon, no more copy and paste sets for this leg, please! Give us something different for the European leg of this two year tour!

Yes, on the tour for Crossroad they performed some songs from these days.

What About Now also was released while the band had already been on tour and about 7 tracks had been on the setlist before hand. However, in this case I think we'll "just" get a copy/paste setlist of the last few years. They haven't been in Russia for three decades and he can easily get away with that. Maybe one semi-rarity in there.

I think we'll either get a very boring setlist or a really surprising one and I genuinely don't know which one it will be.

Playing devil's advocate here, because that's fun, I'm not going to go after the band if there's nothing for the diehards. There'll be a low percentage of people that have seen the band since '89 so vanilla to us ain't vanilla at this show.

Aloha !

No, but the first hour of the show will be boring to them nonetheless.

They've done about 80 shows with this band and the first hour of their current set has never worked so far yet it's still there. Of the first 10 songs about 7 go over like a lead balloon yet there's nothing the band can replace them with as Jon's barely able to make it through this selection. Hence the lack of changes in Australia as well.

Bon Jovi have ignored Russia for 30 years. The last time anything was played on the radio was 19 years ago. It's a pointless idea to shove Lost Highway, Whole Lot Of Leavin', We Weren't Born To Follow and Who Says down these peoples throats. They'll have zero interest in them so it's most likely what Jon will do. "Educating the crowd and telling them what they've missed". It won't work though, it never has. They're there to hear the hits and I never thought I'd say this, but that's really what this setlist needs.

Salaam Aleikum,

This show needs nothing released after Its My Life in the set.

To be fair I'm pretty sure that's your view on pretty much every show that they do right?

Moscow is definitely getting a fresh setlist. There will be the mainstream hit songs but THINFS won't be left out and probably WAN songs either.

4 days to go, JBJ already posted a photo (which looks photoshopped imo like he was added in the picture but nvm) at Red Square
