BON JOVI ADDS SECOND HONDA CENTER SHOW TO 2010-2011 WORLD TOUR
To satisfy overwhelming fan demand, Bon Jovi’s 2010-2011 “The Circle World Tour” has just added a second Anaheim show on Saturday, February 27th, 2010, following the previously announced concert on Friday, February 26th at Honda Center, as well as the Los Angeles concert on March 4th at STAPLES Center. The newly added Anaheim show caps the celebration of Bon Jovi’s 11th studio album THE CIRCLE--released November 10th—which promptly sailed into the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart.
Bon Jovi will spend much of the next two years on the road, performing 135 shows in 30 countries. Following in the footsteps of their hugely successful “Lost Highway Tour—Billboard’s #1 top-grossing tour of 2008—Bon Jovi will draw fans around the world into The Circle, with a residency at London’s O2 Arena in June 2010 before returning to America in the fall for an additional nationwide leg, and further dates well into 2011. Tickets for "The Circle World Tour" are on sale now for North American concerts - information can be found at http://www.bonjovi.com/tour.
The new album's success--which includes #1 chart debuts in Japan, Canada and Germany, and a #2 debut in the UK--is fueled by the band's current worldwide single, "We Weren't Born to Follow." Bon Jovi performed the song live at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate on November 9th, at the gala 20th Anniversary commemoration of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. "We Weren't Born to Follow" reached the Top 10 at Hot AC radio formats, and the video has scored a spot on the VH1 Top 20 Countdown for several weeks.
Fresh off the success of the November Interscope release of their sixth album, Alter the Ending, Dashboard Confessional will perform the opening sets at Bon Jovi’s Honda Center show, as well as other shows on the tour.
Dashboard Confessional, led by singer-songwriter Chris Carrabba, is one of the most acclaimed acts of the last decade. The group’s 2000 debut , Swiss Army Romance, was followed by gold-selling records The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most (2001), A Mark, a Mission, a Brand, a Scar (2003), and Dusk and Summer (2006), as well as 2007’s The Shade of Poison Trees. In addition, 2002’s MTV Unplugged 2.0 achieved platinum status as it broke the band through to a more mainstream audience. Dashboard Confessional’s latest opus, Alter the Ending, was released through Interscope Records on November 10, 2009, as both a standard version and a two-disc deluxe edition containing acoustic versions of the album’s 12 songs, including first single, "Belle of the Boulevard". Rolling Stone praised the album with a four out of five rating, saying "The emo godfather's sixth album proves he's also gotten better in that span."
