O2 Opening Acts

Bon Jovi has announced the five bands that have won a place up there on the big stage as their opening act.

Bon Jovi opened the competition two weeks ago and since then thousands of hopeful bands entered for this opportunity of a lifetime.

A blue ribbon panel from Bon Jovi management, goNORTH, Kerrang Radio, Wave FM and AEG Live picked the ultimate winners:


June 7 - Young Guns: A fast rising High Wycombe based quintet, combining big riffs and solid rhythms with melodic hook laden vocals.

June 8 – The Side: A four piece from the highlands of Scotland, the band have steadily built up a following and been tipped by industry insiders as one’s to watch. They describe themselves as “Ben Folds Five via The Stone Roses - a Janglesome, Tanglesome pop gem”

June 10 – Last Republic: The latest band to emerge from South Wales UK with hearts pinned firmly to sleeve, The Last Republic are making a name for themselves as purveyors of soaring epic anthems.

June 11 – Velvet Hearts: The ballsy rock edged sound of The Hearts certainly pays homage to rootsy rock'n'roll, but they are more than just a blues-rock band, their songs are stooped in emotion and offer the listener something more than your token ‘rock band’.

June 13 – New Device: New Device are a hard rock band from South East England, UK. Influenced by the stadium rock giants of the late 80's and early 90's such as Guns N' Roses and Aerosmith, New Device manage to achieve a sound where so many others fail; authentic, solid, blues based hard rock, written by real rock fans.

Bon Jovi has also announced special guests for a selection of O2 concerts:
One Republic on 17th, 19th and 20th June
Kid Rock on 22nd, 23rd, 25th and 26th June.
