Cleveland show cancelled

Bon Jovi's concert in Cleveland next month has been cancelled with this short announcement on the website:
The July 14th Cleveland Browns “Fan Kickoff Concert” at FirstEnergy Stadium, featuring Bon Jovi and opening act Michael Stanley, has been cancelled. For refund information, ticket holders should return to their original point of purchase.
A few more details have been reported by NewsChannel5, although no official reason has been given (Poor ticket sales?). Indianapolis on July 16 was quietly canned about a month ago too.

Bon Jovi Cardiff set list 12/6/13

Shorter set for Bon Jovi in Cardiff compared to the previous two shows in Birmingham and Manchester, but one of the apparent fan favourites from the new album in "I'm With You" made an appearance.

Always in Manchester + Birmingham

Bon Jovi's most recent two performances of Always -- Etihad Stadium in Manchester on June 8 and Villa Park in Birmingham on June 9 -- could well be the best ones of the tour so far. From a vocal perspective anyway... Jon's voice seems to have improved in the last couple of shows, so hopefully it's onwards and upwards from here. :)

Manchester


Birmingham
