As part of the celebration that will mark Major League Baseball’s All Star game, Bon Jovi will be offering their fans a rare opportunity to attend a free concert.

The show is scheduled to take place in Central Park on July 12, three days prior to the All Star game which will take place at New York City’s famed Yankee Stadium on July 15. With a new Yankee Stadium scheduled to open next year, this will be last season for the original 86-year-old ball park.

Bon Jovi will wrap up its current tour a couple of days later when they perform at Madison Square Garden on July 14 and 15.

A press conference is scheduled at 4:00 p.m. at City Hall where more details will be revealed, including information regarding tickets. New York  Mayor Michael Bloomberg will be present for the press conference. Perhaps the boys from the band will make an appearance at the press conference as well, although I have not seen any official word that they will be showing up.
