I don't think any of these are likely. They have learned to scale down in terms of number of shows. And most of these countries are not regulars, not even Italy, France or Portugal have had shows constantly. I think the pacing of the schedule plus the amount of shows is quite good considering the band's age and Jon's vocal struggles.

Don’t forget that Jon and Richie in various interviews kept mentioning Greece as a big surprise and if their best concerts during the 2011 Open Air tour. Greece had the most expensive tickets of the tour yet the Olympic Stadium of Athens was sold out. Bon Jovi got many fans in Greece plus thousands of tourists passing by Athens in the summer. If they could sell out a gig, a Greek one would be very likely. Last but not least, Jon visits regularly Greece for his summer vacation along with his family

Yet again, Greece has 24% tax on concerts which will be reduced to 6% in the next couple of months. The Greek festivals didn’t make any announcement yet so unless it happens at a later date along with Dublin, Bon Jovi won’t return to Greece for now. I’m going to Bucharest. If a Greek date occurs then even better!

It just makes you wonder why Tallinn or Bucharest and not Athens, they did great the last time they’ve been here.

After trying to make sense of the travelling schedule I think there'll be 4 more dates. I've got a feeling Dublin will be June 15 and I reckon there's 2 dates on hold. 1 in Scotland/England and 1 in Germany. If the English and German dates are selling well enough they'll announce more. The Manic Street Preachers have also skipped Glasgow on their own tour. And I think Jon confirmed a French show several times, which would make show number 4.

Personal guess:

June 15: Dublin
June 17: Glasgow
June 29: Hannover
July 1: Paris



Because Tallinn is on the route from Russia to Scandinavia. They "need" a date there to fill the gap. The band travel with two stages and a truck with their gear. The truck with their gear travels from Moscow to Tallinn while the stage travels from Moscow to Stavanger. Or something like this, you'll get the idea, I think. :)

The reason they're doing all these shows in other countries than Germany and the U.K. is because they've saturated the Western European market while they ignored Eastern Europe for a long time due to it being financially unattractive. Things have changed around and thus a place like Tallinn or Warsaw is interesting right now. It's got nothing to do with Croatia deserving a show. No promoter thinks that way and unless Jon puts his foot down a show won't happen in a financially unattractive market.

Jon going on holiday to a certain country has nothing to do with a band touring there. It's two completely different things. There's so much more going on than your 24% tax break and the likes. It's never the places that "deserve" a show, they mention a few cities they want to play and then the rest of the schedule is build around it. Then there's subsidies, promotion deals, tax breaks, ferry connections, insurance policies...The list is endless.

Salaam Aleikum,
