Shot Through The Heart: Bon Jovi coming to Tampa on Valentine's Day

Tickets go on sale Oct. 15 at 12 p.m. EDT

UPDATE: Your band could open up for Bon Jovi at their Tampa show — seriously. A press release says the band is taking video auditions and will announce a winner for the Amalie Arena show around January 27, 2017.

"Every great band starts small and builds their rep one show at a time," Jon Bon Jovi said. "That's the opportunity we were given and now we want to pay it forward. If you're ready for the arena stage, submit your audition tapes and join us in playing for the best audiences in rock music."

Submissions are being taken on the band's website and Facebook page plus Live Nation's Facebook page. You can read the official rules here.

Ditch the dinner reservations, Bon Jovi are coming to Tampa — on Valentine's Day.
