Bon Jovi
İstanbul rock ‘n’ roll fans are entering the “final countdown” for their long-awaited live date with kings of the rock world, Bon Jovi.
Visiting Turkey for the first time in 18 years, the world superstars -- famous for mega hits as “Livin’ On a Prayer,” “Always,” “It’s My Life” and “You Give Love a Bad Name” -- are set to take to İstanbul’s Türk Telekom Arena stage at 8:30 p.m. on Friday evening as part of their Greatest Hits 2011 Tour.
Having kicked off the European leg of the tour in Zagreb on June 8, the group will continue on from İstanbul to Romania, Germany, Switzerland, Greece, Austria and Spain, wrapping up their summer tour with a concert in Lisbon on July 31.
With the Türk Telekom Arena doors opening at 3 p.m., ticket holders should get there early to see supporting act Turkish rock band Redd perform at 5:45 p.m. followed by a performance from a special guest, rock star Şebnam Ferah, at 7 p.m.
A band of unwavering international appeal whose music transcends both cultural differences and generations, Bon Jovi has been flying the flag for American rock ‘n’ roll for close to 30 years now, selling over 130 million records across the globe. Their 2010 Circle Tour was the highest grossing concert tour of 2010 according to Billboard’s annual countdown of the top 25 concert tours. Bon Jovi last performed in Turkey in September 1993 at İstanbul’s İnönü Stadium.
