After a canceled tour in 2020, Bon Jovi is going back on the road. The rock band is launching "Bon Jovi 2022 Tour," scheduled for arenas in the spring with three dates in Texas that include a stop in Dallas on April 28 at American Airlines Center.

Other Texas dates include Austin on April 23 at the Moody Center, and Houston on April 26, at the Toyota Center.

The tour begins on April 1 in Omaha, and wraps up on April 30 in Nashville.

Tickets for the Austin and Dallas shows go on sale 10 am Friday, January 14. Tickets for the Houston show go on sale 10 am Friday, February 4. Sorry, Houston.

A "JBJ Experience" member pre-sale begins 10 am Tuesday, January 11.

The band had a summer tour planned for 2020 in support of an album called 2020, which included stops in Dallas and San Antonio. But they canceled the tour in April, one of the first bands to cancel a tour, just as the pandemic was beginning its first surge.

According to a release, they've spent much of the past two years recording and releasing new music, while also creating livestream performance content and launching Bon Jovi radio for their fans.

The release also says that 2020 was one of the most critically acclaimed album releases of that year with USA Today calling it brilliant, and Associated Press highlighting lyrics that "chronicle pain, loss, fear and death from the coronavirus, police killings and mass shootings."

In a statement, Jon Bon Jovi says, "we have all missed touring and we know that nothing can replace the energy of a live show for the fans or the band."

The full tour dates are as follows:

April 1 - Omaha/CHI Health Center
April 3 - St. Paul/Xcel Energy Center
April 5 - Milwaukee/Fiserv Forum
April 8 - Charlotte/Spectrum Center
April 9 - Raleigh/PNC Arena
April 11 - Greenville, South Carolina/Bon Secours Wellness Arena
April 13 - Savannah/Enmarket Arena
April 15 - Tampa/Amalie Arena
April 16 - Fort Lauderdale/FLA Live Arena
April 19 - Indianapolis/Gainbridge Fieldhouse
April 21 - St. Louis/Enterprise Center
April 23 - Austin/Moody Center
April 26 - Houston/Toyota Center
April 28 - Dallas/American Airlines Center
April 30 - Nashville/Bridgestone Arena

Kicking off on June 24 in St. Paul, Minnesota, the 26-city tour will travel around the U.S. and Canada through mid-August.

In addition to Dallas, there will be performances in San Antonio on July 28 and Austin on August 14, which is final scheduled concert on the tour.

Both Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire are among the highest-selling acts in music history, with each selling around or over 100 million albums in their long careers.

Richie has released 10 solo albums in his career, most recently Tuskegee in 2012. Prior to his solo career, he released an additional nine albums as lead singer of The Commodores.

Since 2018, Richie has also served as one of three judges on the rebooted version of American Idol. Alongside fellow judges Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan, he will begin season 24 of the ABC singing competition on January 26.

Earth, Wind & Fire has gone through multiple members over its 57-year existence, although original member Verdine White is still active at 74 years old.

The various incarnations of the band have released 22 albums, most recently Holiday in 2014.
