Bon Jovi to perform at Frontier Days

CHEYENNE, Wyo. - It will be country with a little bit of rock 'n' roll when Bon Jovi and Def Leppard perform at this summer's Cheyenne Frontier Days.

Bon Jovi will perform July 20, the first night act of the 10-day Western celebration and rodeo, also known as the Daddy of 'em All.

"Who Says You Can't Go Home," Bon Jovi's duet with Jennifer Nettles, won a Grammy Award in February for best country collaboration with vocals.

Def Leppard will perform July 28.

Introducing more rock music to a traditionally Western event is good business, Joe Lopez, CFD contract arts chairman, said recently.

"The request has always been there to mix it up," Lopez said. "I think down the road we're going to see some different entertainers come to Cheyenne Frontier Days."

The concert series will also feature Big & Rich, Cowboy Troy,
