Bon Jovi to return to the Bryce Jordan Center

On the Bryce Jordan Center’s website, a survey asks, “which one of these concerts would you go to in 2013?”

The possible options cite rockers Bon Jovi, Tom Petty, Billy Joel and Bob Seger, and for those who voted for the American hard-rock group Bon Jovi: dreams do come true.

Two years ago, music icons Bon Jovi shook the stands of the Bryce Jordan Center, playing such hits as “Wanted Dead or Alive,” and “It’s My Life.”

On Feb. 23, the group will return to the venue to bring yet another night of rock music glory, confirmed marketing director for the Bryce Jordan Center, Bernie Punt.

Tickets for the event will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Jan. 25, but Penn State students can get tickets early, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 23, courtesy of the University Park Allocation Committee, Punt said.

Courtesy of UPAC, tickets will be $20 off for students and will be available at the HUB-Robeson Center, Bryce Jordan Center, Eisenhower Auditorium and the Penn State Downtown Theatre Center.

Currently, Bon Jovi is making its 2013 revival with its newest single “Because We Can,” available now, and the band’s newest album is due out early this year, according to Bon Jovi’s official website.

Bon Jovi hails from Sayreville, N.J., and was formed in 1983. Since its formation, Bon Jovi has become one of the most well-known bands in rock history.

Prior to coming to University Park, Bon Jovi will hit Pittsburgh’s Consol Energy Center, on Feb. 21.

Of the event, Punt said, “I’m living on a prayer, man.”
