The band announced plans Thursday for a new world tour to promote their 11th studio album The Circle. They will perform for almost two years, with 135 shows in 30 countries starting in Seattle in February 2010.

It begins Feb. 19 in Seattle and includes a May 26 show at New Jersey ’s new $1.6 billion Meadowlands football stadium, which will be home to the New York Giants and Jets. It also will include a “residency” in June 2010 at the O2 arena in London , where the Grammy-winning band are expected to play at least five dates there.

When asked about the length of the tour, lead singer Jon Bon Jovi said, “It’s a big world.” He also added a joke, “And we still make house calls.” The band’s ” Lost Highway ” album tour was the top grossing tour of 2008, according to Billboard Boxscore. It grossed $210.6 million and drew 2,157,675 fans.

Tickets for the tour go on sale on Nov 9, while the album itself will be released on November 12. Can’t wait to see your performances, guys! Good luck for the tour!
