Beloved New Jersey rock band Bon Jovi is coming back to Israel, performing July 25 in Tel Aviv as part of its 2019 European “This House Is Not For Sale” tour.

Lead singer Jon Bon Jovi and his longtime band were last here in 2015, performing for an audience of 50,000 people in Yarkon Park.

The band, known for its big hits such as “You Give Love a Bad Name,” “It’s My Life,” and “Livin on a Prayer,” announced the tour on Instagram and its website.

“We’re excited to announce that the #THINFStour is heading to Europe in 2019!”
