Bon Jovi at London Wembley Stadium 2026: stage times, last-minute tickets and ultimate guide

On Friday September 4, Bon Jovi made a triumphant return to London. It was the first time that the American rock band has played in this city in seven years. Jon Bon Jovi and co brought their biggest hits, a couple of covers and some new stuff to the 90,000-strong crowd at Wembley Stadium. They did it all over again on Saturday and will do it one final time on Wednesday September 9. 

The group is currently celebrating the release of their 16th album Forever, which was released in 2024, and its 2025 follow-up Forever (Legendary Edition). London is one of just two UK cities feature on Bon Jovi’s 2026 Forever Tour, with Edinburgh having hosted the band last week.

Reviews 

If you want even more of an idea of what to expect, take it from the people who got to see Bon Jovi at Wembley on night one. Aggir Anthimidou from Metal Talk reported: ‘The production was suitably grandiose, with spectacular visuals framing the enormous stage. But underneath the spectacle, this was arena rock in its purest form. Bon Jovi and their catalogue of anthems were more than enough to generate the high-octane, larger-than-life atmosphere.’

Paul Brannigan of Louder Sound gave the show four stars and said it was a ‘a brilliantly staged, slickly produced, state-of-the-art stadium rock show, delivered by a band in full control’.
