The highly anticipated gig just got better



The support act for next summer's biggest standalone gig in Coventry has just been announced, with rock legends Bon Jovi set to be joined by a big name from closer to home.

Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers are set to open at the 40,000 capacity show, and are almost certain to get the crowd at the Ricoh Arena going before Jon Bon Jovi and co take to the stage.

It is believed that it is the Manic's first visit to Coventry.

This comes as part of three UK dates for Bon Jovi, who play Liverpool's Anfield and London's Wembley Arena on their stadium world tour.

The Coventry gig is set to take place June 23, 2019, and is the final UK show.

It will be the third visit to the Ricoh Arena for Bon Jovi, who have by now gained a reputation for wowing crowds in the city.

Speaking to the Mirror, Jon Bon Jovi said: "I can't wait to go back to Coventry.

"We've had some great nights at the Ricoh. It's going to be special."

Bon Jovi will play Liverpool's Anfield Stadium on June 19, London's Wembley Stadium on June 21 and Coventry Ricoh Arena on June 23 next year.
