Switchfoot To Support Bon Jovi At Selected 2019 Summer Dates
The band will also play headlining shows in London on 8 July and Amsterdam on 15 July.
Multi-platinum selling alternative rockers Switchfoot have announced they’ll be joining legendary rock band Bon Jovi on select dates during their This House Is Not For Sale 2019 European tour this summer, kicking off on 10 July at Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich, Switzerland.
Prior to this, the Grammy Award-winning band will bring their dynamic live show to various festivals in Japan, Norway, and Sweden and will play headlining shows in London (Camden, Electric Ballroom, 8 July) and Amsterdam’s Melkweg on 15 July.
On playing shows with Bon Jovi front man Jon Forman said, “I remember hearing ‘Livin’ On A Prayer’ at my elementary school Summer camp. One of the other kids played it to me from a mix that he had made. I remember thinking, ‘This is probably the best air-guitar song that has ever been written.’ Pretty sure I’m still right about that one. What a crazy dream to open for Bon Jovi in European football stadiums – we are so excited! After our set when Bon Jovi takes the stage, I’ll be the one side stage playing the air-guitar like I’m eleven again.”
