The Lost Highway Tour is a worldwide concert tour by American rock band Bon Jovi, currently taking place in support of their tenth studio album Lost Highway. Originally planned as a 2008 greatest hits tour, the tour was changed to promote Lost Highway after the album's unprecedented worldwide success, reaching #1 in several countries in June 2007.

Immediately after the album's release, the band performed ten promotional summer concerts in the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, the U.K. and Japan. They then properly started the tour in October 2007 with ten concerts to celebrate the opening of New Jersey's Prudential Center, before doing a tour of Canada and then tours of Japan, Australiasia, the U.S. and Europe in 2008.[1] Bon Jovi will also play their first concert in New Zealand in 12 years as part of the tour.[2]

[edit] Opening acts

For the run at the Prudential Center in New Jersey, the support acts were My Chemical Romance, Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson, Daughtry, and The All-American Rejects, with each support act playing two of the ten dates. Hedley opened for Bon Jovi during the Canadian leg of the tour, forcing them to postpone their headlining Canadian tour until early 2008. Daughtry will be opening for Bon Jovi during the second North American leg of the tour. The Feeling have been announced as supporting Bon Jovi at four of the summer dates in the United Kingdom.
