Popular names in the music arena like Kiss, ABBA, and Ronnie James Dio have launched virtual or hologram concerts featuring their avatars. Talking to Ultimate Classic Rock on April 28, 2024 about the possibility of using holograms or avatars for his own concerts, Jon Bon Jovi said that he was open to the idea.
Commenting on the same, Jon noted:
“I don't mind the idea of images of us being out there for people to go and enjoy,” the rocker continued, pondering the possibilities. “I don't think that's a sin. I don't find that to be at all a turn off.”
Apart from JBJ's Nashville bar, Proto Inc. had previously placed a hologram unit in honor of Jon at the MusiCares Person of the Year event in January 2024. According to Matthew Bongiovi of Bon Jovi Management, it was a symbol of "delivering unforgettable experiences" on Broadway.

Besides the newly launched album, fans were in for a treat with the release of Thank You, Goodnight: The Jon Bon Jovi Story. It was a four-part Hulu docuseries that covered four decades of the rock band.
On June 8, 2024, Jon Bon Jovi played a five-song set at the opening of JBJ's Nashville, which was his first public gig since undergoing surgery.
