Bon Jovi Is Bringing the “This House Is Not For Sale” Tour to New Orleans

The immensely influential rock band Bon Jovi has announced the spring leg of the This House Is Not For Sale Tour with an anticipated stop in New Orleans on March 25.

The tour, presented by Live Nation, will begin in Denver, Colorado on March 14 and cross most major North American cities, including a few stops in Canada. The Grammy-winning band  (and Rock & Rall Hall of Fame inductees-to-be) will celebrate its return tour with the re-release of This House Is Not For Sale featuring two brand new songs, “When We Were US” and “Walls.”

The tour has already received high acclamation both through fans and critics, as its first North American leg has grossed an estimated $47 million and its South American leg nearly $40 million. It also marks Bon Jovi’s first large-scale event since the band’s 2013 Because We Can World Tour.

Five years later, the band is bringing just as much vigor and zeal. “Jon Bon Jovi shook the stage from the start to end with energy and enthusiasm,” raved the Los Angeles Daily News of the This House Is Not For Sale Tour, “and he kept that energy rolling with a voice in tip-top shape.”

The Toronto Sun also lauded that “it was anthemic Bon Jovi at its best,” and Atlanta Journal-Constitution cited that “the tour solidifies their standing as one of rock’s most resilient acts.”

Bon Jovi released This House Is Not For Sale on November 4, 2016, with the album debuting atop the Billboard 200 chart, earning the band its sixth U.S No. 1. It was also the band’s first major release in five years, and its third consecutive multi-platinum album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard top 200, following Highway in 2007 and The Circle in 2009.

General public tickets will be available for purchase starting January 19 at 10 a.m. local time at Ticketmaster.com and through participating venue Box Offices. Pre-sale tickets are available today (January 16) Bon Jovi will be playing at the Smoothie King Center on March 25.
