Bon Jovi to launch U.S. tour in April

Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Bon Jovi is going on tour in 2022.

The rock band shared plans Friday for a new U.S. tour beginning in April.

Bon Jovi will kick off the tour April 1 in Omaha, Neb., and bring the venture to a close April 30 in Nashville. Tickets go on sale Jan. 14, with pre-sales to begin Jan. 11.

"It's official! We'll be headed back out on the road this April for the #BonJovi2022 Tour," the band wrote on Instagram.

The tour will be Bon Jovi's first since 2019. The group released its 15th studio album, 2020, in October 2020.
