Bon Jovi are set to open The O2 Arena in London.
The New Jersey band will kick off proceedings at the revamped Millennium Dome in the UK capital on June 24.
As previously announced, Justin Timberlake will play the arena in July while The Rolling Stones, Scissor Sisters, Take That and Jeff Wayne’s musical version of 'The War Of The Worlds' are all booked to play the London venue.
