lived in Wales for 4 years. If I were still there I'd be thrilled. hopefully it'll be a great one. there's a lof of BJ fans in Cardiff. even indie rock fans like myself would gladly listen to some BJ every no and then so I wouldn't be surprised if it sells out here's hoping for the best.

When the date was announced I was baffled why they didn't go with the millennium stadium but Rhianna is there 2 days before and with the venue changes I doubt they would fill half of the millennium

Anyone going to this got their tickets? On see tickets all of the other uk mid June gigs are over 90% dispatched but cardiff is still 0

Man, I was at that show and the only songs I remember are Raise Your Hands and Never Say Goodbye, and until reading the set just now I though Raise Your Hands was the opener.

That set was a little short, but that is a great set imo, there are plenty of shorter shows this tour with not half as good a set list as that.

I remember that 2001 show the crowd was shit, did anyone else go who could confirm if that was the case or was I just too blasted. I think there were a ton of casuals there, and I remember until Prayer come on it was a bit quite, something tells me Jon was trying to get more from the crowd. That show is a haze though.

2001 in Cardiff was my first Bon Jovi show. Remember the crowd being pretty loud, probably helped that they only sold about 30,000 tickets so the stage was brought forward to the halfway line with the roof shut which keeps the noise in.

The other thing I remember is that Never Say Goodbye was completely unplanned, but some local, pissed up guy ran on stage with an inflatable guitar and cowboy hat and said 'thank you cardiff' in to the mic as the band were walking off stage after prayer!!! Jon couldnt let it finish like that, so him and Richie did the song, just the two of them, magic!

My word. I remember the stage was moved, but I thought the attendance was announced at 48.000, and it was just shy of the half way line I think? Either way it is not important. Maybe because it was your first show the crowd seemed louder to you, then again perhaps it was anyway, but I vaguely remember Jon pushing a lot for crowd participation.

Like I said sadly I don't remember much, but that set looks good. I remember Jon riding the camera on Raise Your Hands and breathing on it and wiping it? I had no clue that a guy run on stage, but I do sort of recall an inflatable guitar. I do remember the Never Say Goodbye though, and was indeed very magical.

Thinking, maybe I am right about the crowd because that set is way short, it is 20 songs long (not counting the medleys).

At least one concert of the European tour will have a proper support act!
