Rock outfit Bon Jovi are set to host their first drive-in concert event, which will be screened at Leopardstown Racecourse Dublin, Slane Castle and Cork Racecourse next month.

Retro Drive-in Movies and Encore Live have partnered up to curate one-night only screenings at selected Irish drive-in venues while the COVID-19 pandemic continues to halt in-person gigs.

Bon Jovi's first drive-in concert will feature all their iconic hits, including 'Livin On A Prayer', 'It's My Life', 'Always' and many more. The outfit have become one of the best-selling bands of all time, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018. Bon Jovi have sold over 130 million albums worldwide, racked up an extensive catalogue of hits, have toured in over 50 countries for more than 35 million fans in the last decade alone.

The never-before-seen concert will be broadcast at venues around the world, including approximately 300 drive-in and outdoor theatres across the US, Canada and Ireland, and select indoor cinemas around the globe.

Bon Jovi’s show follows the massive success of the Encore Drive-In Nights 2020 series, which hosted global superstars Garth Brooks, Metallica, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani and Kane Brown and safely entertained nearly a million fans across the US.

As the world begins to reopen from the pandemic, Encore Drive-In Nights is continuing to reinvent live entertainment in a post-COVID world. These shows will hopefully enable fans who live outside of regular touring stops to enjoy concerts by their favourite acts in ways which were never before possible.

Each Irish venue is limited to 250 tickets per screening, with up to five passengers allowed per car.

Tickets to see Bon Jovi from the comfort of your car start from €55 (plus booking fee) per car, and will go on sale this Wednesday, April 28th at 5pm.
