Bon Jovi announce tour dates

Bon Jovi took advantage of their appearance on American Idol on Wednesday, May 2nd, to let people know what the band's tour plans are. Frontman Jon said the group will hit the road in earnest starting in January, but before that happens, they plan to do 10 nights at their "local New Jersey Arena," which is the Prudential Center in Newark. According to the Associated Press, the band's run at the new venue will begin October 26th, with tickets going on sale in mid-June.

While on American Idol, Bon Jovi performed their new single "(You Want To) Make A Memory." The band's new album, which is titled Lost Highway, comes out June 19th.

The Prudential Center is still under construction. When it opens this fall, it will become the home for the New Jersey Devils NHL franchise.

In the meantime, Bon Jovi has a few shows booked for this year:
May 26 - Las Vegas, NV - Tiger Woods's Tiger Jam at the Mandalay Bay Events Center
