"There's a feeling that I get when I come here, maybe because I was smart enough to marry an Irish woman. But it's just our history takes us back to every venue there is here in Dublin so I was very excited that this was the first place we land. It makes me want to cry,"
"It's been three and a half years since I've been on a stage."
"But I never lost faith that I'd eventually get back to where I need to me. It was just a big surprise to me. I didn't know what was happening,"
"But I'm 100pc healed and that's why I can come back and say we're playing Croke Park."
Jon Bon Jovi will perform at Croke Park on Sunday, August 30 as part of the Bon Jovi Forever Tour. Jon Bon Jovi expresses a deep connection to Ireland and attributes part of that bond to being married to an Irish woman. The performance follows three and a half years away from the stage and comes as the band plans a 2026 summer tour that marks a near six‑year return to Ireland and a 20th anniversary at the northside venue. Vocal‑cord surgery was major but full recovery has been achieved. Ticket sales exceeded €1bn in the last decade, and the show will revisit the band’s catalogue while acknowledging Irish musical influences such as Thin Lizzy, Van Morrison, U2 and Inhaler.
