Bon Jovi coming to Canada

By DARRYL STERDAN, SUN MEDIA

Bon Jovi will Circle back to Canada next spring and summer.

The New Jersey pop-rock superstars announced details of their upcoming tour Thursday, and the two-year trek includes half a dozen Canadian stops.

Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, David Bryan and Tico Torres will play two nights in Montreal's Bell Centre in March, with a series of Western Canadian stadium shows slated for July. Ticket prices and on- sale dates were not announced Thursday, though some shows could go on sale as early as Nov. 9.

The band are celebrating their 25th anniversary with the release of their 11th studio album The Circle on Nov. 10. The DVD documentary When We Were Beautiful — which follows the band on their 2008 Lost Highway Tour — will be included in the deluxe version of the album, and a book with the same title due in stores Nov. 3.

The Circle World tour — which was announced Thursday at a private concert by the band in their home state — begins Feb. 19 in Seattle and will include 135 shows in 30 countries over the next two years.

They will be the first band to play the New Meadowlands Stadium on May 26 and 27.

Stay tuned for more details. Here are all the Canadian dates:

March 19 & 20 | Montreal / Bell Centre

July 15 | Edmonton / Commonwealth Stadium

July 17 | Winnipeg / Canad Inns Stadium

July 20 | Toronto / Rogers Centre
