BON JOVI OPENS THE O2 ARENA!

After intense speculation over who would be the first artist to perform at Europe’s most spectacular new arena Bon Jovi have been announced as the group to take the honours!

Bon Jovi are back in the UK for their only appearance of 2007. Bon Jovi are without doubt one of the world’s greatest live rock bands, and they in turn will be opening Europ’s greatest new arena, The O2.

Bon Jovi, who sold over 300,000 tickets and 6 stadiums at their British shows last year, will be appearing at The O2 on Sunday 24th June. It will be the first time in 15 years that Jovi have played indoors.

The band’s new album ‘Lost Highwys’ due for release on 11th June and will be followed on 25th June by the new single ‘(You Want To) Make A Memory’.

Bon Jovi have sold over 120 million albums, played 3,000 concerts in over 50 countries.

NB. There's a flaw in this article. The Rolling Stones are scheduled to perform on the 21st (Tuesday), so it looks like the Stones will be opening the Stadium.
