Bon Jovi will kick off a North American tour on November 2nd in Des Moines, Iowa, in support of their new album, Have a Nice Day, due September 20th.
The New Jersey rockers collaborated with songwriter/producer John Shanks (Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morissette) for the follow-up to 2002's Bounce. "It's a heavy record," guitarist Richie Sambora told Rolling Stone in May. "There are lots of guitars -- I'll tell you that, man."
Among the new tracks are the lead single, "Have a Nice Day," and "Welcome to Wherever You Are."
