Setting the Stage in Chocolatetown

Bon Jovi will be rocking out in Hershey on May 19th for the 1st leg of their stadium tour. About 200 workers have two weeks to transform HersheyPark Stadium from a football field to a stage.

"Starting off here, it's great space. We can easily build everything and they give us time to build it two weeks in advance, so that's nice," said Bon Jovi Management Coordinated Mike Savas.

Some Hershey Park workers are getting the chance of a lifetime to help Bon Jovi's production crew build the stage.

"It's pretty fast paced, but everything goes smoothly, everyone's well coordinated and we have a good time doing it," said Scott Garner.

30,000 Bon Jovi fans are expected to pack HersheyPark Stadium and no matter where they sit, Bon Jovi has a special big screen TV so everyone can see the show.

"The coolest thing about the stage, like I said it's the 1st time we're gonna release it, we actually have a television screen that will wrap from one side of the football filed to the other," said Savas.

The exact same stage and set-up will then make its rounds to the other stadiums for the rest of Bon Jovi's Circle Tour.

The concert at HersheyPark Stadium is already sold out.
