Gary Graff from Billboard.com is reporting:

BON JOVI has added a performance at the 20th anniversary celebration for the fall of the Berlin Wall in Germany to what's already a jammed promotional schedule for its new album, The Circle.

The group is currently slated to be the only entertainment act at the November 9 ceremony, performing The Circle's first single 'We Weren't Born To Follow'. Jon Bon Jovi tells Billboard.com that he "wrote a fan letter, 'to whom it may concern,' stating about how we've had such a relationship with Germany for all these years and how relevant the song is to the situation and how I was there chipping away a piece of the wall 20 years ago when it came down."

The German government responded with an invitation. "They heard the lyric and got it and said 'yeah,'" Bon Jovi notes. "It's a pretty big deal."

With The Circle coming out November 10, Bon Jovi is also gearing up for its Artists in Residence partnership with NBC, which will kick off with a November 4th Today show performance of the single from London, where the group is currently promoting the album. The quintet will play each Wednesday during November, with an interview on November 18 and an outdoor plaza concert on November 25.
