A Bon Jovi fan has revealed what could be the band’s setlist for their upcoming world tour. The fan shared details from a private warm-up show in a post on Reddit.
The fan attended Bon Jovi’s private concert at Baltimore’s CFG Bank Arena. They took to Reddit to share the full list of songs performed during the show, suggesting it could serve as a blueprint for the band’s upcoming tour dates.
“Just attended a private tuneup show in Baltimore for Bon Jovi last night. Here was the setlist they ran through, which could be a great indication of their base song list,” the fan wrote.
“‘With a Little Help from My Friends,’ ‘Beautiful Drug,’ ‘We Weren’t Born to Follow,’ ‘Lost Highway,’ ‘Who Says You Can’t Go Home,’ ‘You Give Love a Bad Name,’ ‘Born to Be My Baby,’ ‘Legendary,’ ‘Whole Lot of Leaving Going On,’ ‘In These Arms,’ ‘Have a Nice Day,’ ‘It’s My Life,’ ‘Living on a Prayer,’ ‘Lay Your Hands on Me,’ ‘Blood on Blood,’ ‘Living Proof (I think),’ ‘This House Is Not for Sale,’ ‘Keep the Faith.’ Encore: ‘I’ll Be There for You,’ ‘Wanted Dead or Alive,’ ‘Red, White, and Jersey,’ ‘Bad Medicine (extended).'”
The fan also offered their impressions of Jon Bon Jovi’s vocal performance throughout the night. They noted some interesting crowd dynamics as well.
“Overall he sounded really good on all the songs that came out since Have a Nice Day. Loved hearing Blood on Blood, which was a real test for his voice,” they continued. “It’s funny because he made a comment about wanting to play more songs from the past 5 years, since they couldn’t tour, but the crowd only really got into the songs prior to Bounce. Overall a great show and really hope he throws a few curveballs into the MSG sets.”
The private Baltimore show appears to have been a rehearsal ahead of Bon Jovi’s anticipated performances at Madison Square Garden. The stakes for those shows could not be higher.
Bon Jovi is set to kick off their “Forever Tour” with a nine-night residency at Madison Square Garden. The run begins July 7 and continues through July 26, with performances on July 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 19, 21, 23, and 26. It marks the band’s first major tour since 2022.
The MSG residency is not the only stop on the horizon. Following the New York dates, Bon Jovi will take the Forever Tour overseas. Confirmed international dates include Edinburgh, Scotland on August 28, Dublin, Ireland on August 30, and London, UK on September 4.
Jon Bon Jovi has been open about the vocal challenges that kept the band off the road in recent years. He has addressed his recovery process ahead of the 2026 touring season, framing the MSG residency as the first major step in his return to full performance capacity. The Baltimore show suggests that return is well underway.
The crowd dynamic noted by the fan — strong energy for pre-Bounce classics, cooler reception for newer material — reflects a broader reality for legacy rock acts returning after extended absences. With 22 songs and a four-song encore already mapped out, the Forever Tour setlist is shaping up to be one of the most comprehensive Bon Jovi live sets in years.
