IF you missed Bon Jovi at the Isle Of Wight festival this summer, then why not check out the next best thing. Tribute band The Bon Jovi Experience brings their show to the Tivoli on August 30.
Throughout their career, the original band has sold over 120 million albums worldwide, and they performed more than 2,600 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 34 million fans. In 2006 Bon Jovi were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame, and in 2004 they were ranked number 14 in Q magazine’s “50 Greatest Bands of All Time”.
The Bon Jovi Experience” is the only Bon Jovi tribute band in the world to have actually played and shared a stage with Jon Bon Jovi himself.
Fans will have thought there were two Bon Jovi’s on stage that night, so much does lead singer Tony Pearce resemble Jon Bon Jovi.
Tony has been performing the music of Bon Jovi for over 15 years now and the band were the first to be asked to perform on the US New Jersey tribute album, Garden State of Mind. The band were told recently by BBC Radio 2 DJ and TV personality, Chris Evans, that “they were the best tribute band he had ever seen” and have also been asked to appear live on Chris’s show.
You can catch The Bon Jovi Experience at the Tivoli Theatre on August 30.
