Bon Jovi concert chronology | |
|
The Have a Nice Day Tour was a worldwide concert tour by American rock band Bon Jovi. It took place between November 2005 and July 2006. The tour supported their ninth studio album Have a Nice Day.
The tour was a significant commercial success – the group played to about 2 million fans and the tour grossed a total of $132 million. It was the third-highest-grossing tour of 2006, just behind the Rolling Stones' A Bigger Bang World Tour and Madonna's Confessions Tour.
The show
The set lists greatly varied between concerts, so after each show its set list was posted on the official website. Most concerts began with the song "Last Man Standing" from the Have a Nice Day record, with the show beginning as Jon Bon Jovi suddenly appeared on a small platform in the middle of the audience at the far end from the stage, followed by "You Give Love a Bad Name". "Livin' on a Prayer" was almost always played as the finalé before any encores.
For the early North American and United Kingdom dates, each city had a local band open for Bon Jovi; the band had decided this for a chance to promote local talent. Canadian band Nickelback, who had great success with their latest release (All The Right Reasons) supported Bon Jovi on the European dates of the tour, as well as on the band's summer stadium tour in North America.
