Giving fans across the country a chance to experience one of the year's most historic series of concerts, NCM Fathom and AEG Network Live will present Bon Jovi-The Circle Tour, a special in-theater event on Monday, November 8 at 7:30 p.m. local time. In anticipation of the band's soon-to-be-announced 2011 concert dates, and to celebrate the upcoming release of the Bon Jovi - Greatest Hits Collection, this special event captures the magic and energy of the band's sold-out, four-night stand at New Jersey's New Meadowlands Stadium. Bon Jovi-The Circle Tour features footage shot during these epic nights, which drew 200, 000 fans on the band's home turf, and began with the stadium's inaugural concert on May 26, 2010.

Bon Jovi-The Circle Tour is exclusive to movie theaters for one night only, and features performances of songs from the band's 2009 album, The Circle, as well as their career-spanning hits. The event will kick off with a sneak preview of Bon Jovi's new music video, "What Do You Got."

Critics were unanimous in their praise of the New Meadowlands concerts, with the New York Times stating that Bon Jovi "lays claim to his home turf with exultant pride, and with exhortative anthems about hanging in and hanging on." The New York Post wrote that "...the forever-young singer and his band of Jersey pop giants christened the shiny new stadium with a rollicking extravaganza of light, sound and performance energy..., " while the Star-Ledger simply raved that "...it was spectacular."
