Notre Dame Moves College Football Game to Make Room for Legendary 80s Rock Band

Notre Dame has moved its football game against Kent State to make room for a Bon Jovi concert at Notre Dame Stadium on 2 October 2027. The change clears the date for the band’s North American Forever Tour stop, reflecting Jon Bon Jovi’s long-standing connection with the university.

The game will now be played on 28 August. A special ticket presale is scheduled to begin on 11 November at 10 a.m., followed by general sales on 13 November. Concert packages range from premium seating and merchandise to a higher-priced option with a front-row seat, an autographed chair and a chance to watch three songs from the side of the stage.
