News on the tour, I suppose: http://www.mittelbayerische.de/kultu...rt1447705.html

In that interview there's a portion that reads like this:

Quote:

With the best state of health one maybe can put 9 new songs into a 25-song setlist, the other 16 have to come from the back catalogie. That's how I see it. You cannot play all the hit ballads on one day, that's too many slow songs. "Living on a Prayer" and "Wanted Dead Or Alive" must be played always, there's no way around it. But you can play "Always" on one evening, "Bed of Roses" the next, then "I'll Be There For You". That's how it works.
(Translation by me. Please consider that it can be rough at some points, as this interview will have been translated from English into German and then back.)

So, what can we learn from this?
  • They might be/are planning 25-song setlists.
  • It is possible that there will be played up to 9 new songs per show (which would be nice, hope it will stay that way)
  • Concerning that "Health" point: I would interpret it that way, that "health" is mainly Jon's voice, and that if his voice is bad, there will be more new songs on the set.
  • So we can say one of the reasons for the plan to play so relatively many new songs is certainly Jon's voice (nothing really new, though)
  • It is still possible that Jon will go for Bed of Roses or even Always.

That's my quick analysis. The rest of the interview tells us nothing new, afaik.

Didn't he said a few times that he isn't planning on downscaling? I'm guessing it's going to be a same tour as the WAN tour.

Bon Jovi will do stadium tours in Europe during May & June, maybe it can go up to July. They won't change their policy. They will sell out.

Cities will be picked based on album performance in charts though.

End of May through to early August in the UK based on the football off-season assuming it's still stadiums.

Olympic Stadium is probably not an option due to the Athletics and ParaAthletics Champs in July/August.

Actually I've read just the opposite that this Tour may not be as large as the other Tours have been.

Not as big as the last one but I'm pretty sure that there will be another bunch of US dates,a proper EU tour and some Asian and Australian dates

No way would Jon ever sign up for that.

I agree with you.
