A classic rock band is set to play a comeback concert, but you might need a second mortgage to attend.
Bon Jovi will perform at a special 3-day event in June, marking their first announced concert since singer Jon Bon Jovi underwent vocal cord surgery in 2022. An “intimate private performance” at a secret location in Nashville is part of a Runaway Tours travel package scheduled for June 13-15.
But tickets are crazy expensive, starting at $1,750 per person with no hotel accommodations. Other options include $1,995 per person for a two-night double-occupancy (or $3,990 for two people) and $2,295 for a single-person occupancy at the JW Marriott Nashville. No concert-only tickets are being offered.
Packages, which go on sale Monday, April 14 at 12 p.m. ET at runawaytours.com, include admission to Bon Jovi’s intimate private performance and a “Bon Jovi Forever Party” at JBJ’s Nashille, plus an autographed photo of Jon Bon Jovi, special trip laminate, custom event lanyard and a “special gift.” It’s unclear which date Bon Jovi will perform or how long of a show it will be.
Bon Jovi hasn’t toured since 2022. Jon Bon Jovi said last year he was unsure if he ever would be able to tour again due to his vocal issues, though Bon Jovi did release a new album, “Forever,” in 2024 and played a surprise Nashville concert to celebrate it. He also performed at the MusiCares 33rd Person of the Year annual gala in Los Angeles.
“I just wish there was a f—ing light switch,” Bon Jovi told The Guardian last year. “I’m more than capable of singing again. The bar is now: Can I do two and a half hours a night, four nights a week? The answer is no.”

The New Jersey rock band is known for hits like “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “You Give Love a Bad Name,” “Wanted Dead or Alive” and “Bad Medicine.” They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.
The singer’s son Jake Bongiovi, who recently married “Stranger Things” star Millie Bobby Brown, is a Syracuse University alumnus.
