A one night only event
Last updated 14th Jul 2021
Bon Jovi are bringing a brand-new concert experience to UK cinemas for one night only on Thursday 10th June 2021.
The never-before-seen concert is being recorded at the Paramount Theatre in Bon Jovi’s native New Jersey and it will be screened at approximately 250 cinemas across the length and breadth of the UK.
Bon Jovi will perform tracks from their distinguished musical arsenal including ‘You Give Love A Bad Name’, ‘It’s My Life’, ‘Wanted Dead Or Alive’, ‘Bad Medicine’ and the ubiquitous ‘Livin’ On A Prayer’ together with songs from their 15th studio album ‘2020’, which peaked at Number 5 in the UK last autumn.

Bon Jovi have joined forces with Encore Nights and Trafalgar Releasing for the event, and it’s part of the 2021 Encore Nights concert series.

Last August, Metallica performed a full concert for Encore Drive-In Nights, which was screened at hundreds of drive-in and outdoor theatres across the United States and Canada. Sadly, that gig was unavailable to watch in the UK.
Encore Nights CEO Walter Kinzie says of the Bon Jovi concert: “Our Encore Nights series was dreamt up and kicked off last year to provide fans across North America a fun and safe new way to watch their favorite acts perform amid the pandemic.
“Little did we know at the time that there would be global enthusiasm for these concert experiences! We can’t wait to bring fans all over the world Bon Jovi like they’ve never seen ‘em before for this one-night-only event. Grab some friends and get some popcorn because it’s going to be a great time!”
Kymberli Frueh, SVP of Content Acquisitions at Trafalgar Releasing, says: “Bon Jovi has always been supportive of reaching fans through event cinema since the early 2000s.
“With most concert tours still halted, and fans missing live concerts, we are thrilled that Bon Jovi fans will have an opportunity to come together and share this experience as a community in their local cinemas across the globe.”
