Superband Winners Announced

After weeks of intense competition from thousands of bands across North America, during which more than 3.3 million votes were cast by fans, the winners have finally been chosen for Bon Jovi's “Wanted: A SuperBAND Tonight!” opening act contest.

“Congratulations to the ‘Lucky 13!’” said Richie Sambora. "We’re excited to bring these bands into ‘The Circle’ to share their talent with our fans in stadiums across the U.S. and Canada.”

Since the “Wanted: A SuperBAND Tonight!” contest launched in early April, fans have kept close watch on the contestants, voting for their favorites and making themselves eligible to win tickets to the concerts in the process. From the fan-ranked list of semi-finalists in each city, a blue ribbon panel from Bon Jovi management, OurStage, and local radio stations picked the ultimate winners for the following concerts:
