Bon Jovi at Wembley Stadium 2026: The Ultimate Fan & Event Guide.

Bon Jovi will perform a multi-night stadium residency at Wembley Stadium in London in September 2026 as part of their Forever Tour. Standard tickets have sold out, with limited hospitality and official resale options available. This guide explains ticket availability, seating, stadium rules and what to expect on the day.

Are Bon Jovi Playing Wembley Stadium in 2026?

Yes. Bon Jovi play three dates at Wembley Stadium as part of the Forever Tour:

• Friday 4 September 2026
• Sunday 6 September 2026
• Wednesday 9 September 2026

All three London shows are at Wembley Stadium (not the OVO Arena Wembley). The residency caps a long relationship between the band and the national stadium. Bon Jovi were the last band to headline the original Wembley Stadium, in 2000, before it was demolished and rebuilt. They were then booked to be the first act to play the new stadium in 2006, but the build overran and that show was moved to the Milton Keynes Bowl. They finally played the current Wembley Stadium for the first time on 21 June 2019, on the This House Is Not For Sale Tour. Further back, the band's 1995 Live From London video was filmed at Wembley Stadium during the These Days Tour.

The 2026 residency is also significant as the band's first tour since frontman Jon Bon Jovi underwent major vocal cord surgery. He had reconstructive surgery to repair an atrophied vocal cord and went through extended rehabilitation to sing again, which gives the Forever Tour a celebratory feel for band and fans alike.

Bon Jovi Wembley 2026 Dates and Residency Schedule

Bon Jovi have confirmed a three-date residency at Wembley Stadium, with performances on 4, 6 and 9 September 2026.

The residency format is often used by bands with deep fan engagement in a particular community, with the band opting for multiple nights at one location, rather than single shows in individual cities. Bon Jovi’s Forever Tour will include a residency at Madison Square Garden in New York during July 2026, followed by single shows in Edinburgh and Dublin in August, prior to the Wembley Stadium residency in September 2026.

Who Is Supporting Bon Jovi at Wembley Stadium?

James Bay has been confirmed as the support act for Bon Jovi's Wembley Stadium concerts. The announcement was made on 4 August 2026, with the British singer-songwriter set to open all three London dates (4, 6 and 9 September), as well as Bon Jovi's Edinburgh show at Scottish Gas Murrayfield on 28 August. (For the Dublin date at Croke Park, The Boomtown Rats take on support duties instead.)

Bay, from Hitchin in Hertfordshire, broke through in 2015 with his debut album Chaos and the Calm and hits including "Hold Back the River" and "Let It Go". He also appears alongside Bon Jovi on the band's Forever (Legendary Edition) album, featuring on the track "Legendary", making him a fitting choice to warm up the crowd ahead of the headline set.

As support slots and set times can be subject to change, it's worth checking the latest information on the official Wembley Stadium website closer to the date.

Bon Jovi Forever Tour Set List

Bon Jovi haven't confirmed their set list for their Wembley Stadium Forever Tour performances. What Jon Bon Jovi has revealed is that he is drawing on advice from Metallica's Lars Ulrich in relation to playing a unique set list for each show. He commented in an interview with Planet Rock that, "I'm having a lot of fun putting together shows that are multiple-night kind of shows."

While nothing is confirmed for London, the recent Madison Square Garden shows in July 2026 offer a good guide to what fans can expect. At those concerts, the band opened with "Beautiful Drug" and worked through a mix of hits and deeper cuts including "You Give Love a Bad Name", "Born to Be My Baby", "It's My Life" and "Livin' on a Prayer", before closing the encore with "Bad Medicine" and "Who Says You Can't Go Home". Newer material from the Forever album, such as "Legendary" and "The People's House", also featured. It's worth noting the band varied their setlists across the residency, so the London shows may differ.
