Bon Jovi, Eagles to tour Australia
Christmas is coming early for music fans with Bon Jovi and The Eagles set to tour
Australia in December.
Rock legends Bon Jovi will play stadium shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and
Brisbane, as part of The Circle world tour.
The Circle is the New Jersey band's 11th studio album, released in November last year.
Australia is one of 30 countries the band will visit during their latest tour, a
two-year undertaking which began in the US in February.
Promoter Dainty Consolidated Entertainment is promising "one of the biggest sets
ever to be seen" in Australia.
In a career spanning almost three decades, Bon Jovi have sold more than 120 million
albums and performed more than 2,600 concerts around the world. They were last in
Australia in 2008.
It's been a longer wait for Eagles fans, with the band, led by Glenn Frey and Don
Henley, returning to Australia after more than six years.
The `70s rock icons, best known for their hit Hotel California, will perform
three-hour showcases of their work in Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne.
The band holds the US record for best selling album of all time, for Their Greatest
Hits 71-75, and their 2007 release, Long Road Out of Eden, their first studio
offering in 28 years, went gold in Australia after just one week.
Tickets for The Eagles go on general sale on Monday, June 28, while Bon Jovi tickets
go on sale on Thursday, July 8.
