Born Jovi: A Tribute to Bon Jovi

24-25 Sep, 2026

Pig & Whistle Historic Pub

If you’re a fan of Bon Jovi’s biggest hits, Born Jovi offers a chance to relive the band’s arena-rock energy with a dedicated tribute show. Led by vocalist Bret Watts and a group of experienced musicians, the performance covers all the classics from Livin’ On A Prayer to It’s My Life. After nearly 25 years on the road in Australia, this show is finally making its way across the Tasman. It’s an R18+ event, so it’s geared toward an adult crowd ready to sing along and enjoy the full rock experience. The setlist moves through the anthems you know, creating moments where you can really get into the music and the spirit of the era. The band’s enthusiasm is clear, making it easy to get caught up in the energy without feeling like a typical cover band. Whether you come with friends or fellow rock fans, you’ll find plenty of chances to share the excitement and maybe even discover a few new favorites along the way.
