"We're starting in New Jersey and then taking it to the world," exclaimed Jon Bon Jovi on stage earlier tonight at the grand opening of The Prudential Center in his home state of New Jersey. With that, the band tore into an explosive concert that marked the first of 10 sold-out concerts and the surprise launch of Bon Jovi's Lost Highway World Tour. Anticipation is running at an all time high as concerts in more than 10 countries have already been confirmed including Canada, the U.S., Japan, New Zealand, England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Holland, Austria - and counting.

Flexible delivery options include digital FTP transfer, Beta SP tape, Data-DVD, and streaming download (Flash, QuickTime, and Windows Media).

Bon Jovi, who could've played ten nights anywhere in the NY/Metropolitan area, chose to kick off their next World Tour with ten nights at the brand new Prudential Center in Newark, NJ for a total attendance of over 150,000. The band's sustained presence at the new venue was a conscious effort to support the growth of Newark, NJ, which is currently undergoing a major economic revitalization.

"We applaud Bon Jovi's decision to launch their tour from The Prudential Center in Newark to bring worldwide attention to the redevelopment of this American city, and the economic impact this arena will have in the band's home state," said Randy Phillips, President & CEO of AEG Live, the band's North American tour promoter. "We look forward to the most dynamic Bon Jovi tour yet."

Bon Jovi has set the bar for more than two decades as one of the most successful rock bands in the world. Globally, they have sold more than 120 million albums and performed more than 2,500 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 32 million fans. Their latest album, the Nashville-inspired LOST HIGHWAY was released June 19, 2007, debuted at #1 around the world and includes the hits songs "Lost Highway" and "(You Want To) Make a Memory." The band's 2005 album, HAVE A NICE DAY, featured the Grammy-Award winning song, "Who Says You Can't Go Home," and fueled one of the top-selling tours of 2005. -0- Bon Jovi's Lost Highway World Tour Itinerary (as of 25-Oct-07) DATE CITY VENUE 25-Oct-07 Newark, NJ The Prudential Center 26-Oct-07 Newark, NJ The Prudential Center 28-Oct-07 Newark, NJ The Prudential Center 30-Oct-07 Newark, NJ The Prudential Center 01-Nov-07 Newark, NJ The Prudential Center 03-Nov-07 Newark, NJ The Prudential Center 04-Nov-07 Newark, NJ The Prudential Center 07-Nov-07 Newark, NJ The Prudential Center 09-Nov-07 Newark, NJ The Prudential Center 10-Nov-07 Newark, NJ The Prudential Center 14-Nov-07 Montreal, QC Bell Centre 15-Nov-07 Montreal, QC Bell Centre 17-Nov-07 Ottawa, ON Scotiabank Bank Place 19-Nov-07 London, ON John Labatt Centre 6-Dec-07 Toronto, ON Air Canada Centre 7-Dec-07 Toronto, ON Air Canada Centre 9-Dec-07 Winnipeg, MB MTS Centre 10-Dec-07 Saskatoon, SK Credit Union Centre 12-Dec-07 Edmonton, AB Rexall Place 13-Dec-07 Calgary, AB Pengrowth Saddledome 15-Dec-07 Vancouver, BC GM Place 16-Dec-07 Vancouver, BC GM Place 11-Jan-08 Nagoya, Japan Nagoya Dome 13-Jan-08 Tokyo, Japan Tokyo Dome 14-Jan-08 Tokyo, Japan Tokyo Dome 16-Jan-08 Osaka, Japan Kyocera Dome Osaka 18-Feb-08 Omaha Qwest Center 20-Feb-08 Detroit The Palace of Auburn Hills 23-Feb-08 Chicago United Center 24-Feb-08 Chicago United Center 28-Feb-08 Washington DC Verizon Center 2-Mar-08 Philadelphia Wachovia Center 3-Mar-08 Philadelphia Wachovia Center 5-Mar-08 Pittsburgh Mellon Arena 10-Mar-08 Toronto Air Canada Centre 18-Mar-08 St. Paul Xcel Energy Center 31-Mar-08 Denver Pepsi Center 2-Apr-08 San Jose HP Pavilion 4-Apr-08 Anaheim Honda Center 5-Apr-08 Anaheim Honda Center 8-Apr-08 Phoenix Jobing.com Arena 9-Apr-08 Los Angeles STAPLES Center 14-Apr-08 Dallas American Airlines Center 15-Apr-08 Oklahoma City FORD Center 20-Apr-08 Kansas City Sprint Center 22-Apr-08 Des Moines Wells Fargo Arena 24-Apr-08 Nashville Sommet Center 26-Apr-08 Ft.
