Bon Jovi returns to region on Sunday

SARATOGA SPRINGS - It may seem like déjà vu all over again for Capital Region Bon Jovi fans Sunday night at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center.

Exactly five months after the band rocked a sold-out Pepsi Arena in Albany, Jon and the boys are gearing up to give fans a second dose of their "Bad Medicine."

The last time Bon Jovi came to SPAC was Aug. 1, 1995.

The band is currently on tour supporting its latest release, "Bounce."

"Undivided," "Everyday" and the title track "Bounce" have all received heavy airplay since the album's release last October.

The band's March performance at the Pepsi lasted more than two hours and included an elaborate stage set and a mix of old and new hits.

Only lawn seats are available for Sunday's show, which begins at 7:30 p.m. with the Goo Goo Dolls.

Lawn tickets are $30 in advance. There is a $2 increase the day of the show.

A losing pari-mutuel ticket gets you $5 off the ticket price the day of the show only. Those tickets must be purchased at the SPAC box office.
