In January, GRAMMY-winning rock brigade Bon Jovi announced plans to head around the world for the ‘Bon Jovi 2020 Tour’ starting this June. With the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers set to play for fans in arenas across the country, joined by support from GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter Bryan Adams, the tour quickly sold out at several locations along the run of shows.

Now, due to popular demand, the group has announced that it will add two additional dates to the summer trek, including a second night at Boston’s TD Garden on Friday, July 17 and a Saturday, July 11th show at Montreal’s Bell Centre.

The band’s larger stretch of performances kicks off with a June 10 show at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Wa., and will extend through late-July, finishing up with back-to-back nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City on July 27 and 28.

Early ticket access will become available to Bon Jovi fan club members and American Express card members on Monday, March 2 at 10 a.m. local time and will run through Thursday, March 5 at 10 p.m. local time. Live Nation pre-sales will begin Thursday, March 5 at 10 a.m. local time and will close at 10 p.m. Public on-sale begins on Friday, March 6 at 10 a.m. local time here.

All online ticket purchases will come with a physical copy of Bon Jovi’s highly-anticipated upcoming full-length, Bon Jovi 2020.

Bon Jovi received their first GRAMMY nod in 1996 for their “Live From London” music video which landed them a nomination in the Best Music Video, Long Form category. A decade later, the group took home their first GRAMMY in the Best Country Collaboration with Vocals category for “Who Says You Can’t Go Home.”

Bon Jovi 2020 is due out on May 15 via Island Records.

Today, May 13, 10-time GRAMMY-winner Bob Dylan announced his 2020 North American summer tour is canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 25-date North American leg of the folk legend's "Never Ending Tour" was originally set to kick off in Bend, Ore. on June 4 and wrap up in Bethel Woods, N.Y. on July 12. New dates will be announced at a later time when it is safe to do so, but for now, ticket purchasers will be given refunds.

Folk act Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats was slated as the opener the jaunt, which was announced back in early March. The tour would've coincided with the release of Dylan's upcoming album, Rough And Rowdy Ways, which is due out on June 19. The project is his first LP of new music in eight years and has been preceded by three lead singles; "Murder Most Foul," "I Contain Multitudes" and, most recently, "False Prophet."
