WINNIPEG — Local musicians who have always dreamed of playing a stadium show can make that fantasy a reality this summer. Bon Jovi is looking for opening acts in eight cities on its forthcoming The Circle Tour, including its Winnipeg concert at Canad Inns Stadium on July 17.
One local unsigned rock, pop or country act from each city will be selected to open for the New Jersey group as part of the Wanted: A SuperBand Tonight contest.
Bands can enter by uploading tracks to bonjovi.com, ourstage.com and Bon Jovi’s Facebook site by April 21.
Fans will then vote for their favourite acts and help whittle the contestants down to 20 by April 24.
Elimination rounds will take place until May 6 when the ultimate winners in each city will be selected by a jury made up of Bon Jovi’s management, promoter AEG and music talent website OurStage.
Fans that aren’t in bands but want to get in on the action can upload a video of themselves lip-synching or singing Bon Jovi’s Livin’ on a Prayer to the group’s website for a chance to win tickets to the concert and have their clip played on video screens at the show.
