These dates are NOT CONFIRMED.  Vegas & NYC are because of the FC trips.  Orlando has been bounced about but is not listed.

One thing I would like to point out the tour starts off AFTER February 6th, which is that big football game in Dallas this year (which the Cowboys won't be playing in).  Is Bon Jovi Big game bound?  And there's no show on March 14th, which is the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame inductions.  Interesting.

Bon Jovi: More European Dates Rumored & X Factor (UK) appearance

More European dates are rumored and an X-Factor appearance.


Bon Jovi are set to return to Scotland in 2011. This year they played a residency at the O2 Arena in London playing 20 odd dates in June. Bon Jovi are set to return to play outdoors, and are lining up a huge outdoor conccert at the home of Scottish Rugby Murrayfield in June 2010. They wanted to play at Hampden Park but Take That have secured Hampden Park. The US Rockers Bon Jovi fronted by Jon Bon Jovi, will play other live dates in the UK with Wembley almost a dead cert. The Bon Jovi Wembley date is expected to be 29th July 2011. Before this Bon Jovi are to perform live on the X Factor Results show on 31st October 2010, it is therefore expected that Bon Jovi Stadium Concerts will go on sale on Friday 5th November 2010. An Bon Jovi UK Tour announcement is expected on 27th October 2010.

So they will FINALLY get to play Wembley Stadium in its new incarnation, since it wasn't finished last time.

And The X Factor Simon Cowell's UK talent competition that's brought us Leona Lewis, Susan Boyle and the Jabawockies. Awesome.

Bon Jovi: We know where Richie was

He was playing Dad. (Awww, wait... My Parents were strict I would have never been allowed out of the house in a shirt like that at 12 or 13 much less today.) Poor Richie missed seeing Clapton perform in a little church to get his daughter to see Justin Beaver (yes, I know that's not his name and I don't care). The things people do when they have kids. Oh wait, I don't have kids and sat through the Hannah Montana Concert in 3-D. I get points too for taking my nieces and 6 friends, right?


A number of young stars were present at Variety's 4th Annual Power of Youth event at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, California. Justin Beaver, Kim Kardashian's half sister Kendall Jenner, Bailee Madison and Bella Thorne were among those who attended the event which was held to celebrate young stars and their involvement with philanthropic and humanitarian causes.

Beaver hit the Sunday afternoon, October 24 event in an orange shirt and dark trousers. The "Baby" hitmaker was honored at the gala for his work with Pencils of Promise, a philanthropic organization that works with local communities to build schools and increase educational opportunities worldwide.

"Best part was I got to surprise the charities being honored," Bieber said as quoted by Just Jared Jr. "My show tomorrow at the Staples Center in L.A. is sold out but we saved 500 tickets to give 100 each to each charity being honored to give to kids in need and let them have a fun night they deserve I know what its like to have some tough times so I hope those tickets make u kids coming smile a little. Gonna be a fun show. Thanks."

Jenner, in the meantime, looked adorable in a white blouse which she matched with a black skirt and flat shoes. Joining her were Madison, Throne, Victoria Justice and Ariel Winter. Madison opted a sparkling dress matched with a bennie and dark boots while Thorne sported an animal-printed dress and brown boots. As for Justice, she went super casual with jeans and a suit jacket. Winter herself donned a colorful minidress.

Beside the already-mentioned young stars, other attendees at the event were David Henrie, Gregg Sulkin, Katelyn Pippy, Amber Stevens, Ava Sambora, Richie Sambora, Chloe Bridges, Mitchel Musso, Aimee Teegarden, Troian Avery, Ryan Newman and James Maslow.

On the annual event, publisher of Variety Brian Gott previously said, "Variety's Power of Youth campaign has become a catalyst for philanthropic involvement. This effort is a celebration of what is one of the most generous and charitable industries on the planet."

Beside Justin Beaver, Bow Wow, David Henrie, Victoria Justice and Shailene Woodley were also named as honorees at the event, joining past honorees which include Keke Palmer, Jesse McCartney, Corbin Bleu, AnnaLynne McCord and Miranda Cosgrove.

Here's some video as well:

Bon Jovi: Jon did another performance last night...

At the William J Clinton Foundation event, had some awesome entertainment.

Eric Clapton performed.

And Jon performed with Lorenza Ponce & The Hobbit Bobby Bandiera (where was Richie??  Clapton was there?)

Jon performed the Beatles classic Here Comes The Sun (every time I hear this song I think of the Cirque de Soleil show in Vegas since it's one of the songs used)..Here's the video.
