7800 Fahrenheit Tour
This article summarizes Bon Jovi's 7800 Fahrenheit Tour that occurred in 1985.
Tour highlights
This tour was a great experience for Bon Jovi as they made headlines around Asia and Europe especially in Japan. Bon Jovi played in their first "Monsters of Rock Festival" ever at Castle Donington and were the first band to participate in the new Farm Aid.
Lead singer Jon Bon Jovi became famous for his gravely voice and high pitched screams during this tour. They were on tour from April to December 1985, this was a longer tour than their first tour. During this tour Bon Jovi won "Kerrang: [...] Object Of The Year 1985" as his camera friendly looks inspired women.
