Bon Jovi to Play Free Concert

How cool is this? Bon Jovi and Brad Paisely will play free concerts to boost tourism on the Alabama coast after the Gulf oil spill. It's all part of "Concerts for the Coast."

Bon Jovi will play October 15 while Brad Paisley's show will take place October 17. The shows are wrapped around the Thunder on the Gulf Boat Races October 14 - 17.

"We are thrilled to announce the addition of these two concerts that will enhance an exciting weekend that already features the return of our powerboat races," said Herb Malone, president/CEO of Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Tourism. "We are extremely pleased that fans will have a weekend filled with exciting race action and capped off with two nights of phenomenal beachside music."

Even though the concerts are free, you need a ticket to attend. You can get a ticket as part of a lodging package. Tickets are available starting September 8. Check here for more information and let me know if you're going to the show!
