Bon Jovi delivered a high-energy performance at Croke Park in Dublin, warming up for their upcoming Wembley Stadium residency in London. The Dublin show, played to 37,000 fans, featured a surprise Beatles cover and a rare live outing for the deep cut "These Days", raising anticipation for the band's three-night stand at Wembley.

The setlist opened with a cover of The Beatles' "With a Little Help From My Friends" before moving into hits including "You Give Love a Bad Name" and "Bed of Roses". "These Days" was played for only the second time since 2019, having also featured at an Edinburgh gig on 28 August, where frontman Jon Bon Jovi told fans the song had been a bigger hit in the UK than in the US. The band closed with an encore of "I'll Be There for You", "Wanted Dead or Alive", "Bad Medicine" and "Always" before heading to Wembley Stadium for shows on 4, 6 and 9 September, supported by James Bay. Fans are hoping Jon Bon Jovi's voice holds up after vocal issues forced the band to cut short a recent Madison Square Garden performance.
