Bon Jovi is set to make a highly anticipated return to the stage this summer, much to the excitement of fans. However, attendance will be limited to a select few lucky individuals who are part of an exclusive event.
The legendary rock band has not embarked on a tour since 2022, during which frontman Jon Bon Jovi faced significant challenges due to a throat issue that raised concerns about his vocal capabilities. His only performance since then was a brief set in February at the MusiCares awards in Los Angeles. Bon Jovi is now set to perform this June in Nashville, but it will be a unique and intimate private performance at a secret location as part of an exclusive weekend travel package. Importantly, no tickets for the show alone will be available for purchase.
The event is scheduled for June 13-15, 2025, and the pricing for the package includes three days and two nights at the luxurious JW Marriott in Nashville. Additionally, a fan gathering is planned at Bon Jovi’s local eatery, JBJ’s Nashville. Fans eager to secure their spot can purchase these trip packages starting at noon ET on Monday, April 14, exclusively through runawaytours.com.

In 2024, Bon Jovi released their album Forever and even celebrated with a surprise concert in Nashville. Despite this, a full tour did not follow, and the album quickly faded from the charts. Bon Jovi later confirmed that he was still in recovery from a procedure in 2022 known as vocal cord medialization. He mentioned that while he has healed enough for occasional performances, he is not yet ready for the demanding schedule that comes with a full tour.
Reflecting on his current state, Bon Jovi expressed his frustration in an interview with The Guardian last summer. “I just wish there was a fucking light switch,” he remarked. “I’m more than capable of singing again. The bar is now: Can I perform two and a half hours a night, four nights a week? Unfortunately, the answer is no.”
In the meantime, Bon Jovi revealed plans to release a special edition of Forever, featuring exciting guest duets. “This is an album that we’re very proud of,” he shared with Sound on Sound, “and I believe it stands out as the best Bon Jovi record since [2007’s] Lost Highway or at least [2005’s] Have a Nice Day.”
