What were the biggest concerts Bon Jovi ever gave?
 

Can you remember any very big concerts of Bon Jovi? I never find any informations about something like that on the internet...

The biggest i know was in Lisbon 2008 in front of 115.000 People. (Richie confirmed this in an interview)

Giants 1989 had 80,000, as well as the show in Stuttgart 1996. I have no idea about the attendances in Moscow '89, MK '89 or Donnington '87, but those were probably some of the biggest shows. I read once that 120,000 people attended the show at the Hollywood Rock festival in Rio 1990, but I'm not so sure about that. Oh, and of course, Hyde Park 2003! Officially there were about 90,000, but halfway through the show about around 120,000 saw and listened to the show.

Times Square (NYC) in 2002 had about 250,000 fans (so I remember hearing at the time). That was free so perhaps it didn't count.

yes you're right! but i can remember jon saying that there ware half a million people!

Nop. Actually in that day it was +/- 85000 People.
The maximum was 90000.

That was overated It was more like 100,000-120,000

Wasn't Hyde Park like 97,000?
or was it 75,000?

Offically it was 92,000 but apparently the reality was more like 120,000.

Dublin 2006, in Croke Park, was 82,500. Probably not the single biggest crowd but it would be up there.

I don't know about that - one of the articles I saved estimated the crowd at 500,000. Even if you cut that in half it still 250,000.

Touchdown! Bon Jovi Rocks Times Square

New York — The NFL kicked off the football season Thursday with what could end up being a new tradition: A rocking concert in Times Square featuring Bon Jovi, Eve and more, in what was dubbed "the world's biggest tailgate party."

And with the NFL estimating attendance at 500,000, it definitely lived up to its name.

"To be asked to do this is a great thrill," said Bon Jovi at a pre-concert press conference. "If we weren't asked to do this I'd be so jealous, sitting at home watching TV. We're here to offer our gratitude from the city to the world that gave New York all their thoughts and prayers."

New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg and Gov. George Pataki also made appearances and speeches, but it was the performers who got all the attention.

Eve got the party going with her hit "Let Me Blow Your Mind," and Enrique Iglesias serenaded the audience with "Bailamo." 'N Sync's Joey Fatone performed with the cast of Broadway's Rent, and there was even an NFL fashion show with appearances by former players Dan Marino, Laurence Taylor and Marcus Allen.

Streets were lined from 42nd all the way up to 57th with partiers and some 5,700-strong NYPD officers, ensuring the crowd's safety throughout the event.

"I'm not nervous at all, not with all the police here," said one woman who called herself a tourist from Brooklyn. A man standing next to her added, "I'm happy for New York that we're all out and we're not afraid."

Bon Jovi performed previous hits "It's My Life" and "Wanted Dead or Alive," but also sang three songs from their new album Bounce, due to hit record stores in October. He dedicated "Undivided," a song about unity, to the victims of 9/11 and their families, and closed out the show with a rock 'n' roll rendition of "America the Beautiful."

The party ended just in time for the opening kickoff of the Giants/49er's season opener across the river at Giants Stadium.

That was such a great show!!! amazing and energetic performances from the band.
I also remember being pissed that MTV went out of their way in order to mention Bon Jovi a little as posible even though it was all happening right outside their studios during the taping of trl.... ohh what it was like being an obssesive fan :)
