Bon Jovi have announced that they are offering a chance for local bands to open for the legendary rock band's upcoming tour.
The potential groups must submit an audition video of original music for consideration. One winner will be selected for each tour date in April.
Bon Jovi is extending a helping hand to local bands who have lost opportunities to perform due to the pandemic.
"We have all missed touring, and we know that nothing can replace the energy of a live show for the fans or the band," frontman Jon Bon Jovi said in a statement.
The rock band's month-long spring tour will kick off in Omaha, Nebraska, on April 1.
The 15-date arena tour marks Bon Jovi's first tour since 2019.
