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.

Well lets hope we get extra songs, although if they pull oe of matchbox 20, goo goo dolls, nickelback out of the bag i will be happy.

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.

Anyone heard an update who the support is ??

The tickets have showed up (at last) but no clues there ...

Virgin Radio had a news story "The Feeling confirmed as Bon Jovi support
The Feeling have been confirmed as support on the UK leg of Bon Jovi's Lost Highway World Tour. The Feeling are to join Bon Jovi at select shows including Glasgow, Manchester, Coventry and the 2nd Twickenham date "
