Bon Jovi @ Bell Centre 
All those years of belting out “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “Bad Medicine” at karaoke bars finally pay off. Jon Bon, Sambora and the rest treat us to not one but TWO crazy nights of 80s hair metal, 90s soft metal and 00s easy listening. Wake up and French kiss the morning, and have a nice day!
