Bon Jovi in Dublin: Forever Tour at Croke Park (Sun 30 Aug 2026)

Bon Jovi close out the August Bank Holiday weekend at Croke Park on Sun 30 Aug 2026, 5pm listing, tickets from €105.97 and availability already thin. This is the Forever Tour's only Irish date — here's the practical bit sorted before you book.

The show

Bon Jovi — Croke Park, Dublin, Sun 30 Aug, 5pm, from €105.97 (tickets).

One Irish night on the Forever Tour, in the biggest room the country has. A 5pm Sunday listing is early for a stadium show, which works in your favour twice: you're not stumbling out at midnight before a work Monday if you're flying back, and the whole afternoon before it is yours. No support act was published on the listing as of 14 Aug 2026 — with a 5pm start there'll almost certainly be one; check the ticket page nearer the date rather than trusting anyone's guess, ours included.

Two house rules worth knowing from the listing before you book for a family: under-16s must be accompanied by an adult, and under-14s must be accompanied and seated — so a pitch-standing ticket with a 13-year-old won't fly.

How much are Bon Jovi Dublin tickets?

We opened the seat map on 14 Aug 2026: the cheapest ticket showing was €105.97, with cards running up past €810 for the top packages, and Standard, VIP and Verified Resale tabs all live. Earlier in August the same listing was flagging low availability, and the cheap end is what disappears first — the €105.97 tickets you can see today are not a promise for September. The ticket page is the live answer on the day you book.

Getting to Croke Park

Croke Park sits on Jones's Road in Dublin 3, on the north side — walkable from O'Connell Street, no taxi needed, and after a stadium show you don't want to be in the taxi queue anyway. Eat on the way there, not inside: Fagan's on Drumcondra Road Lower is a 12-minute walk from the stadium and its carvery is built for exactly this — food you can eat fast before a five o'clock start. Get there by 3.30pm; it fills up before every Croke Park show.

Flying in for it? The Airlink 747 runs from Dublin Airport to O'Connell Street in about 30 minutes for €8, and from there you're walking to the ground. That's the whole logistics plan.

Every other Forever Tour date near you

Dublin is the only Irish show, but the same run puts Bon Jovi on two more stages within a short flight:

• Bon Jovi: FOREVER TOUR — Scottish Gas Murrayfield, Edinburgh, Fri 28 Aug, price on ticketer (tickets) — two days before Dublin; no start time published on the listing yet.
• Bon Jovi: FOREVER TOUR — Wembley Stadium, London: Fri 4 Sep, Sun 6 Sep and Wed 9 Sep, all 5pm, price on ticketer (Fri · Sun · Wed) — with James Bay on the bill for all three.

All four were on sale on 14 Aug 2026. Only Dublin shows a from-price without opening the seat map.

If you only do one thing: book the Croke Park ticket before you book the flight. Availability was flagging low weeks out — the show will outlast the cheap seats.

Making a full weekend of it? Riverdance's 30th-anniversary run and US college football at the Aviva land on the same three days — the whole plan is in 48 Hours in Dublin (28–30 Aug 2026). And if you're on the other side of the Irish Sea that weekend, Pulp's sold-out Friday at Wythenshawe Park anchors a Manchester festival run with two nights still bookable.
