Bon Jovi [ tickets ] fans all over the country will get a chance to see the band up close and personal next Tuesday (11/6) when its "Lost Highway" concert film hits more than 100 movie theaters for a one-night-only engagement.

The film captures Bon Jovi's July 30 show at Chicago's WTTW Studios, where 400 concert-goers got to see the veteran New Jersey rockers perform their latest No. 1 album, "Lost Highway," in its entirety. A list of theaters screening the event can be found at The Big Picture website.

The movie engagement and Bon Jovi's current 10-night stand at Newark, NJ's new Prudential Center mark the launch of the band's extensive world tour behind "Lost Highway." The trek takes to the road Nov. 14 with a two-night stand in Montreal, is expected to visit more than 10 countries.

Once the Newark run wraps Nov. 10, Bon Jovi will tour Canada through mid-December. January brings a three-city run of Japan before the group kicks off a US trek that stretches from mid-February to late April. The first round of dates is listed below.

Canadian shows are currently on sale. US pre-sales start tomorrow (11/3), and tickets go on sale to the general public beginning Nov. 10. Details are posted at Bon Jovi's official website.

Additional concerts are expected in New Zealand, England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Holland and Austria, according to promoters.

"Lost Highway," Bon Jovi's ninth album of original material, is the band's first chart-topper since 1988's "New Jersey." The set follows 2005's platinum-selling "Have a Nice Day," which spawned the Grammy-winning duet "Who Says You Can't Go Home" with Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles.

Bon Jovi has sold more than 120 million albums and performed upwards of 2,500 concerts in more than 50 countries, according to a press release.
