Bon Jovi Edinburgh Murrayfield Ticket Prices and Presales: How to bag tickets for the legendary rockers' Scottish date
One of the world’s biggest rock bands have announced a huge gig in Scotland.
It’s been well over a decade since Bon Jovi rocked Scotland, when they played a sold out gig at Glasgow’s Hampden Park on July 3, 2013.
But now the band are heading out on the road once more and have announced a three date UK and Ireland tour - including a show at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium.
It comes after lead singer Jon Bon Jovi spent more than two years recovering from vocal chord surgery, with a performance at his new restaurant in Nashville last June his only full band show since April 2022.
Bon Jovi formed in New Jersey in 1983 and enjoyed moderate success with their first two albums before achieving global stardom with their third and fourth - Slippery When Wet and New Jersey becoming two of the best-selling albums of the 1980s.

Those records spawned a string of classic rock anthems including You Give Love a Bad Name, Livin' on a Prayer, Bad Medicine and I'll Be There for You.
Their success continued into the 1990s with the release of Keep The Faith, which included the hit Bed of Roses and their biggest single to date - Always.
Since then there have been a further 11 studio albums, most recently 2024’s Forever.
Now they are preparing to release Forever (Legendary Edition) this Friday (September 24) which offers a ‘reimagined’ take on the band’s latest songs with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Robbie Williams and Avril Lavigne featuring on the tracklist.
And there’s also a world tour to go along with it. Here’s how you can make sure you’ll be there.

What has Jon Bon Jovi said about the shows?
Announcing the tour, Jon Bon Jovi said: “There is a lot of joy in this announcement – joy that we can share these nights together with our amazing fans and joy that the band can be together. I am lucky enough to be able to hold a light out to the audience each night and stand in their reflection for a tremendous collective experience – I get to stand in the WE of our concerts.
“I’ve spoken extensively on my gratitude but I will say it again, I’m deeply grateful that the fans and the brotherhood of this band have been patient and allowed me the time needed to get healthy and prepare for touring. I’m ready and excited!”
The frontman added: “This album is more than just a collection of collaborations, it is an album borne out of necessity. My vocal cord surgery and subsequent rehab was a well-documented journey that played out while releasing Forever in June 2024. I was singing well enough in the studio for the recording, but the vocal demands and rigours of touring were still out of reach for me. Without the ability to tour or promote an album we were all very proud of, I decided to call on some friends to help me in my time of need. All are great singers, artists, and also just great people.
“I feel tremendous joy and gratitude releasing this album and I think it shows in the music. I can say with certainty that there is always something bigger than ME, and that’s WE.”
