Bon Jovi in Indianapolis 22/03/17

Bon Jovi took their This House Is Not For Sale Tour to Indianapolis, which is apparently their first concert in Indiana since 2003, when they did a half acoustic/half electric show. (If memory serves me, a planned 2013 concert in Indianapolis was cancelled.) Here's what was played in 2017:

Videos from Indianapolis

This video features the start of the encore after a longish wait, during which someone yells "Never Say Goodbye" (a song they should seriously think about including in the sets; I think Jon can sing the acoustic version without damaging himself). Anyway, Jon starts talking at 2:25, revealing that they're starting a campaign to come and play "Reunion" at graduation ceremonies in the US:

(UPDATE: The embedded video doesn't work that well, so here's the link to the video on Facebook.)

"Who Says You Can't Go Home":

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 adds Perth to Australian tour

Perth was originally left off Bon Jovi's 2013 Australian tour dates, but the band will now be playing at Perth Arena on December 12.

Aussie dates now as follows:

• Saturday 7 December 2013 – Etihad Stadium, Melbourne
• Wednesday 11 December 2013 – AAMI Stadium, Adelaide
• Thursday 12 December 2013 – Perth Arena, Perth
• Saturday 14 December 2013 – ANZ Stadium, Sydney

There was a December 8 date reported for Melbourne earlier, but this has apparently not been confirmed.
