The event, scheduled for Oct. 26 at 8 p.m. at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), offers fans a rare opportunity to hear Bon Jovi reflect on his remarkable journey, both as a musician and as a philanthropist.

With more than 130 million albums sold globally and hits like “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “You Give Love a Bad Name” that defined the sound of rock in the ‘80s, Bon Jovi’s impact on popular music is undeniable. The band’s 1986 album Slippery When Wet spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and tracks from that album still resonate with fans today.

As the conversation unfolds, attendees can expect Colbert to delve into Bon Jovi’s experiences that led to iconic moments, including the band’s 2018 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Bon Jovi’s charitable work will also be a focal point of the evening. Through his Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, established in 2006, Bon Jovi has raised millions to help combat issues of homelessness and hunger. His innovative “pay it forward” model at his JBJ Soul Kitchens—nonprofit community restaurants—has provided over 100,000 meals to those in need, ensuring that anyone can enjoy a meal, regardless of their ability to pay.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jon Bon Jovi to the Montclair Film Festival and to share what promises to be a special evening of conversation,” said Montclair Film Artistic Director and Co-Head Tom Hall.

“As an artist who embodies empathy and community, Jon’s work represents the values that inspireeverything we do at Montclair Film. We look forward to a wonderful night.”

This appearance comes during a banner year for Bon Jovi, following the release of the Hulu docuseries Thank You, Goodnight, which charts the band’s rise from New Jersey clubs to international superstardom. The series has given fans a behind-the-scenes look at more than four decades of music, performances, and personal moments, adding fresh perspective to Bon Jovi’s celebrated career.

Tickets for the Montclair Film Festival’s Evening of Conversation with Jon Bon Jovi, hosted by Stephen Colbert, will go on sale to Montclair Film and NJPAC members on Oct. 2, with general sales beginning Oct. 4. All proceeds will benefit Montclair Film’s programs and NJPAC’s arts education initiatives, helping to support arts programming across New Jersey.

As Bon Jovi sits down with Colbert, the audience will likely be reminded of the enduring power of music and the ways in which it intersects with community activism—a theme that has been present throughout Bon Jovi’s career. With 10 No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, including 2016’s This House Is Not for Sale, Jon Bon Jovi remains as relevant as ever, continuing to inspire both on stage and off.

Orange County natives The Offspring sprang into popularity with their 1994 album ‘Smash’ and haven’t looked back since. With the release of their upcoming 10th studio album ‘Supercharged,’ Dexter Holland shares how energetic and fresh this album is, discusses performing with Ed Sheeran and Brian May, explains the origins of ‘Smash’ and “Make It All Right,” and more!

Hi everybody. It’s Rania Aniftos with Billboard News. And I’m so excited we have Dexter from The Offspring in the studio today. Hello! 

Hi, hello! 

And we got to talk about the album ‘Supercharged,’ something that you described as pure energy. Tell me a bit about that inspiration and getting the energy. 

That’s right. You know, we’ve done what, 10 albums or something. So it’s like, what can you offer when you’re doing this, right? You want to do something that you haven’t done before, but you don’t want to go so far out there that it feels strange to people who like the band, and it just felt like going kind of a little bit more direct was the right way to approach this record. I just wanted something that was energetic and really upbeat and just slamming in your face, kind of. 

I feel like you guys do a good job too. I mean being a band all these years, keeping it fun and keeping it fresh. Because, I mean, it’s your job andyou want to separate the job from the creative, and you still want to keep it fun and fresh. So I feel like you guys do a good job at that.

It’s got to be fun, right? But that’s the thing is, we really, really enjoy what we do still, you know?

It’s important. I love going out and playing the shows, because there’s kind of an immediacy to that, where you get the reaction from the crowd and they’re singing along, and like, it’s hard to explain to people, like, there’s nothing like that feeling when you’ve written a song and people are singing your words, right? 

Keep watching for more!

Europe will get more of The Boss in 2025.
Announced early Tuesday, Oct. 1, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band adds eight new shows to their previously-rescheduled European jaunt – including concerts in England, France, Germany and Spain.

All told, Springsteen and Co. will play 12 dates on their 2025 run of the U.K. and Europe, including previously-rescheduled shows in Marseille, Prague and Milan, which were initially called off in May on doctor’s orders, as the rock legend recovered from “vocal issues.”

The announcement of new dates follow the world premiere of the Thom Zimny documentary Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, which arrives Oct. 25 on Hulu and Disney+.

After being sidelined for six years because of the global pandemic, and illness, including peptic ulcer issues, the road is calling to Springsteen. The Rock Hall-inducted artist and his band embarks on eight shows in Canada, beginning Oct. 31 in Montreal and running through Nov. 22 in Vancouver. That trek follows the completion of a U.S. tour with a Sept. 15 headlining spot at Sea.Hear.Now. festival in Springsteen’s old Asbury Park stomping grounds in his native New Jersey.

If his comments during a performance Aug. 23 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia are anything to go by, Springsteen is just getting started. “We’ve been around for 50 f***ing years, and we ain’t quitting!” he declared. “We ain’t doing no farewell tour bullsh*t! Jesus Christ! No farewell tour for the E Street Band!”

He added, “Farewell to what? A thousand people screaming your name? Get the hell out. I ain’t going anywhere!”

In a review of Springsteen’s Pittsburgh show, Billboard noted Springsteen’s “earth-quaking exuberance” and the band’s ability to deliver “magic moments” night after night. The same energy was palpable in Philadelphia, where the band delivered a set that spanned decades of hits.

At the midweek mark on the latest Chart Blast, Shed Seven are currently leading with their seventh studio album and first new release of 2024. If it holds, this will be the band’s second No. 1 album in the U.K., following A Matter of Time earlier this year.

With their debut album being released 29 years ago, they still hold the U.K. Official Charts record for the longest time between a band’s debut and their first No. 1.

But Bring Me The Horizon are creeping up behind them. Their album POST HUMAN: NeX GEn, which was initially released in May, floats from No. 5 to No. 2 in the latest blast, thanks to its physical release, and is currently sitting at No. 2. With just 600 chart units separating the two, Oli Sykes and company are within striking distance of their third U.K. No. 1.

At No. 3, Nines’ latest album Quit While You’re Ahead looks to debut strong. This marks his sixth studio release and potentially his second U.K. No. 1 album, following Crabs In A Bucket in 2020.

Meanwhile, Sabrina Carpenter’s Short N’ Sweet slips one spot to No. 4 after peaking at No. 1 six weeks ago. Ed Sheeran’s new + – = ÷ x (Tour Collection) is set to debut at No. 5, continuing his chart dominance following his recent tour.

Ezra Collective’s Dance, No One’s Watching eyes a No. 6 debut, marking their highest to date, while Pale Waves’ Smitten is likely to land at No. 7, which would mark their fourth consecutive Top 10 album in the U.K.

Indie darling Chappell Roan sees The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess slip from No. 2 to No. 8, while Maximo Park’s Stream of Life debuts at No. 9. Oasis’s Time Flies… 1994-2009 continues its record-setting run at No. 10, holding steady after peaking at No. 2 for its 704th week in the Top 40.

Further down the chart, In a touching posthumous debut, SOPHIE’s self-titled album is set to enter the chart at No. 24, marking the first time the visionary producer has appeared on the Chart. Lady Gaga’s Harlequin, the surprise soundtrack album for the new Joker film and digital-only release, is expected to debut at No. 25, and Michael Bublé’s The Best of Bublé is poised to enter the chart at No. 28, marking his 13th Top 40 album.

With only a few days left in the chart week, it’s still a close race for the top, and the final results could shift dramatically before Friday’s reveal.

Sabrina Carpenter shows no signs of losing her flavor as “Taste” continues to satisfy fans at the midweek mark on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, holding firm at No. 1 for a potential sixth week in a row.

2024 has undeniably been the year of Sabrina Carpenter on the U.K. charts. With “Taste” holding steady at the top, Carpenter has collectively spent 17 weeks at No. 1 this year alone, thanks to earlier smashes like “Espresso” (which dominated for seven weeks) and “Please Please Please” (which ruled for five).

But the race isn’t over yet—Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” is creeping up fast, now sitting at No. 2 and just 2,300 chart units behind.

But wait, there’s more – The Weeknd is also coming in hot with his latest collab with Playboi Carti. Their track “Timeless” made an explosive debut at No. 3 and eyeing a spot in the upper echelon. It’s a strong start for this new release, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see a chart shakeup next week.

As mentioned, Sabrina’s other hits are still hanging strong. “Espresso” proves it’s still brewing strong as it holds steady at No. 4, and “Please Please Please” remains at No. 6, making it clear she’s having a banner year. Carpenter’s chart reign is far from over, but with strong competition from Roan and The Weeknd, we’ll see if she can keep the momentum going.

Elsewhere on the chart, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars are on the rise, with their duet “Die With a Smile” climbing from No. 6 to No. 4. And speaking of rising stars, Chappell Roan’s “Hot to Go” has cracked the Top 10 for the first time, jumping two spots from No. 12 to No. 10.

Teddy Swims is on the brink of his first Top 10 breakthrough as “The Door” edges up to No. 11, just one spot away from making it into the coveted top tier. Coldplay, too, are making moves—”feelslikeimfallinginlove” has shot up 13 places to land at No. 18, thanks in part to their upcoming U.K. tour.
