MILTON KEYNES - JUST LIKE WEMBLEY, ONLY DIFFERENT!

MILTON KEYNES - JUST LIKE WEMBLEY, ONLY DIFFERENT!

The long-awaiting shows that were originally slated to christen the new Wembley Stadium took place this weekend -- and as you all know, they didn't take place at the aforementioned construction site. BON JOVI held to stellar shows at MILTON KEYNES NATIONAL BOWL on Saturday, JUNE 10 and Sunday, JUN 11. The show were incredible -- the set lists were a whole lotta fun. Check 'em out:

- RUNAWAY

- IN THESE ARMS

THANK YOU for adding to the show and making them two incredible nights in Milton Keynes -- and thank you for your loyalty and patience while the rollercoaster ride that took us from Wembley to Milton Keynes rode out! We'll see you in HULL on Tuesday, June 13 for one last hurrah and then the UK leg (and the entire European leg) of the Have A Nice Day tour will come to a close.
