Bon Jovi is an American rock band formed in Sayreville, New Jersey, in 1983. The group became known through the album Slippery When Wet and songs including “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “You Give Love a Bad Name” and “Wanted Dead or Alive.” Later releases brought further staples such as “Bad Medicine” and “It’s My Life.” The Slippery When Wet Tour took the band into arenas in 1986 and 1987, followed by the worldwide New Jersey Syndicate Tour. The group returned to large venues on the Lost Highway Tour and mounted the Because We Can Tour in 2013. The This House Is Not for Sale Tour ran through arenas and stadiums between 2017 and 2019. New York has repeatedly hosted Bon Jovi at Madison Square Garden, while London has been the setting for stadium concerts at Wembley Stadium.
