BON JOVI, 2018 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductees, will unveil a one-of-a-kind, full floor exhibit spanning four decades of the band’s history along with never-before-seen artifacts from each of the bandmembers. The exhibit is set to open to the public on Level 6 of the Rock Hall on Saturday, June 8th, 2024. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is offering two early access preview events on Friday June 7 and Saturday June 8 with tickets on sale to members today, and on sale to the public Friday, May 24 at 10AM EST.
On Saturday June 8th, 2024, the band will be present at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to take part in a Q&A from the Foster Theater that will be simulcast onto the Union Home Mortgage Plaza. Fans can view this simulcast for free on the UHM Plaza.
“We are pleased to celebrate Bon Jovi’s 40th Anniversary with this incredible blockbuster exhibition: BON JOVI FOREVER. For decades the band has delivered massive hits and epic concerts that earned a large and loyal fanbase, and we are excited to welcome these fans to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,” said Rock & Roll Hall of Fame President and CEO, Greg Harris, he continued, “We are grateful for the generosity of John Bon Jovi and his bandmates in support of this remarkable exhibition. They gave us exclusive access to their extensive archive, and we selected artifacts that will enthrall Bon Jovi fans.”
Timed to open with the recently released, critically acclaimed docu-series “Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story,” the exhibit will contain four distinct sections that correspond to each of the four parts of the documentary. The exhibit will showcase the band's story from inception to the present, celebrating their 40-plus-year career, including countless milestones and accolades. Memorabilia will showcase the journey from Bon Jovi’s hard-working New Jersey roots to global superstardom. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's new exhibition “Bon Jovi Forever” uses artifacts, images, audio and video to tell the story of the work, the art, the business, and the legacy of one of the biggest bands of all time.
“When we were inducted into the Hall of Fame, we knew we wanted to have a continuing relationship, not only with the Hall, but with the fans who visit Cleveland every year. To celebrate our 40th anniversary, we have archived EVERYTHING we have from notebooks, to demos, to clothes and photographs. Cleveland felt like the perfect place to share this exhibit,” said Jon Bon Jovi.
