KIDDING! Just my own fictional setlist, but one I think would work better than what they have been doing.

How can you be so cruel? The setlist is not bad at all!

AS IF Bon Jovi would ever rehearse this much [emoji39]

haha true! :rolleyes:

Hopefully the sound will be good! The debate of sound in the stadiums is currently doing the rounds, i remember the bad feedback from the snare drum for half the RDS show and Wembley is notorious for bad sound. Saying that, maybe we don't want to hear Jon too loud.

Will Wembley get this stage?

Isn't there 3 concerts in 3 nights?

No, Wembley won't get it either.

Moscow, Stockholm, Sønderborg, Dublin, London, Dusseldorf, Madrid, Warsaw, Vienna and Bucharest will all get this stage while the bigger stage travels to the other dates.

Still, everyone's here thinking the "other" stage is rubbish. It isn't. There isn't as big of a difference as everyone's making out to be. As far as I'm aware there's no picture of "the stage" in daylight yet?

While I’m not saying you’re wrong I can’t imagine that Wembley (arguably the biggest show on the tour) won’t get the main stage?

Well, I think there are a few acts in a row in Wembley, so it just won't be possible. Hyde Park were some of the biggest shows in 2011 and 2013 and both didn't have the touring stage either.

Both were festivals, though.

Hard Rock Calling and British Summer TIme so that was the reason we didn't have the stage then.

A concert happened the other week and then the next night, a boxing fight was on. Obviously, a ring is easier to put up but people just started work earlier.

Shame if we don't get the stage at Wembley like.

Bon Jovi play first so eagles and billy might use BJs stage with a few tweaks

The stage does look really cool

So which stage is that? A big one, small one, bonjovi one or a standard one?

They are touring with 2 exact stages and every show wil be the same stage.
The only place i might see a difference happening is in Werchter because they play as a headliner in the Werchter Classic festival. Nevertheless, they have a week to set up their own stage there between rock werchter and tw classic

Yeah...Except for they're not. There's 2 different stages this tour, as there always are. One is wider and taller. It's been like this for at least a decade.

You're right. I thought they stopped doing that since 2013 with the 'Sofia - Car' stage. Wasn't that stage in every city except for where they did a festival?

For this tour I forgot to pay attention, but I still wonder why they do this? It is basically the roof of the stage that is different and the screens are little bended on the 'big' stage while they are just flat on the 'smaller' stage.

But why do they do this? I don't know any other band that does this.
It means Holland will get the 'small' one since they have the big one in Danmark? - wtf? - Holland used to be a major country for Bon Jovi.

It can't have anything to do with logistics and it doesn't seem to be that big of a difference in costs either.

So why?

Actually there’s 3 stages on this tour.

The three stages are.

Excitement (pre show)
Disappointed (during show)
Sadness (after show)

That was good. Well played.

There were 2 different car stages as well. The differences were small, but they were there nonetheless.

To save money. The same reason why Bon Jovi plays at odd locations like Slagmarken, Goffertpark, Sr-Bank Arena, Ricoh Arena and Klagenfurt. It's cheaper to rent B-locations than A-locations. It's also cheaper to have one stage travelling with them instead of 2 or 3. And it's even cheaper not to have your own stage designed for you but to borrow things from someone else.

I'm not sure they're even travelling with their own stage this time though. They've got their own screens but everything else I think is borrowed from Stageco, which is taking care of the production of several big artists this summer. The stage in Moscow is travelling all the way through Europe and is shared by various artists. Elton John used a variation of it a few nights ago and it'll probably be at Wembley and the RDS as well. Having Bon Jovi come over to Europe this time was a risk. Plenty of shows sold well but several of them undersold. Having their own stage would mean higher ticket prices and thus less of a chance of selling enough tickets. It's not the only time they're sharing things. When the band plays Olympic Stadium in Munich, Elton John plays the Olympiahalle a few hundred meters down the road. Although Elton uses a small stage for the indoor shows chances are crew members are swapped out for both productions.

In the end, a band will tell promoters they were willing to tour Europe but only for a certain amount of money. Promoters think they'll only be able to take a certain amount of money if they cut down the costs on other things. So the band are booked for Wembley at the same time 2 other artists have a gig there as well. Eagles cost a fortune to book and so do Bon Jovi and thus production costs are cut in half when it comes to putting up a stage. I even think Bon Jovi wouldn't play Wembley this time around would Eagles and Billy Joel not play there. This works the same way for Eagles though. They'd not have played there would Bon Jovi not have played there as well.

Does anybody know at what time the backstage tours take place before the concert?
