Journey announce farewell tour

Journey has announced dates for a farewell tour after more than five decades of electrifying performances, chart-topping hits, and timeless anthems.

Presented by AEG Presents, the band's Final Frontier Tour will open February 28, 2026 at Giant Center in Hershey, PA and will span 60 cities across North America.

"This tour is our heartfelt thank-you to the fans who've been with us every step of the way - through every song, every era, every high and low," says Journey founder Neal Schon. "We're pulling out all the stops with a brand-new production - the hits, the deep cuts, the energy, the spectacle. It's a full-circle celebration of the music that's brought us all together.

"As its founding member, I carry the Journey torch to this day, wherever I go. The sentiment and spirit of the band will always remain,"
he added. "While this marks a farewell to one powerful chapter of the Journey we've shared, I want everyone to know I'm not done. Music is still burning strong inside me, and there are new creative horizons ahead. This tour is both a thank-you and the beginning of what's next."

"It's been an incredible ride,"
adds Jonathan Cain, "We've shared our music with millions and this tour is about gratitude, connection and one last chance to feel that magic together. We wouldn't want it any other way."

"I'm honored to be part of this legacy and I'm grateful for having been welcomed with such open arms,"
says Arnel Pineda. "Every night on stage has been a dream come true."

Citi is the official card of the tour and cardmembers will have access to presale tickets in the U.S. beginning Tuesday, November 11 at 10 AM Local time through the Citi Entertainment program.

The general public on sale is Friday, November 14 at 10 AM Local time.

A Journey show in Houston was cut short after just five songs on March 14 due to an on stage fire.

The band were performing “Don’t Stop Believin’” at The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo when the incident was discovered under drummer Deen Castronovo’s drum riser.

“Hey, Houston! An act of God tonight!,” shared Castronovo on social media. “Fire broke out underneath the stage—right under my drum riser!🔥😲 I was literally on fire for 4 ½ songs, all the power cables melted, and the show was a BUST! That doesn’t mean we won’t be back soon, because we love you all—and WE WILL RETURN! #dontstopbelievin God bless you all!”

Event host Rodeo Houston issued a statement, saying "Due to an unforeseen electrical incident under the stage area, we regretfully announce the cancellation of tonight's Journey concert. We sincerely apologize to all fans for this disappointment. Our team is working diligently to assess the situation, and we will provide updates regarding rescheduling options and or refunds as soon as possible."

Journey change Don't Stop Believin' lyrics at NFC Championship Game

Journey changed the lyrics to their 1981 smash, "Don’t Stop Believin’", during a halftime performance at the NFC Championship Game in Santa Clara, CA on January 28.

The NFL event at Levi’s Stadium saw the hometown San Francisco 49ers hosting the visiting Detroit Lions for a divisional title that would see the winner head to Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, NV on February 11.

Journey – who formed in San Francisco in 1973 – changed the “Don’t Stop Believin’” lyrics from "just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit" to "born and raised in San Francisco."

In viral video of the performance, Detroit Lions fans in attendance can be heard delivering the original words, "South Detroit."

Journey’s 4-song halftime performance featured "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)", "Be Good To Yourself", "Any Way You Want It", and "Don't Stop Believin'".

Journey will continue its 50th anniversary Freedom Tour package – with special guests Toto – in Biloxi, MI on February 9, and join Def Leppard for a series of summer dates later this year.

Schon and Journey are currently on the road playing dates across North America on their Freedom 2023 Tour in support of their 2022 studio release, “Freedom.”

Due May 19, Schon’s performance on his “Journey Through Time” tour was captured live at The Independent in San Francisco, CA, where he debuted a lineup that included former Journey and Santana bandmate Gregg Rolie, current Journey drummer Deen Castronovo, bassist Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake), and keyboardist John Varn.

Journey reunites with Gregg Rolie in Austin

Journey co-founder Gregg Rolie reunited with the band on stage in Austin, TX on February 22 to perform a series of classic tracks during the group’s 50th anniversary tour.

The concert at the city’s Moody Center saw Rolie arrive on stage to sing 1979’s “Just The Same Way” and the 1975 rarity, “Of A Lifetime”, before sharing vocals with drummer Dean Castronovo on “Feeling That Way” and “Anytime” from 1978’s "Infinity", with guitarist Steve Lukather from openers Toto joining in for a cover of the Fleetwood Mac classic, “Black Magic Woman” (Rolie famously sang on the 1970 Santana version of the track).

“When the band you helped start 50 years ago is playing down the street you’ve got one option…JOIN THEM on stage!,” posted Rolie on social media.

Schon teased the guest appearance on social media earlier this month, tweeting the Austin date and writing: “Special surprise in Austin TX.”

Ahead of the tour’s launch late last month, Schon fielded fan questions on Twitter, telling one that “Gregg Rolie will be there also” as his wife, Michaele Schon, revealed conflict within the lineup about the keyboardist’s involvement in the 2023 series.

A founding member of Santana, Rolie teamed up with Schon to launch Journey with others in San Francisco in 1973; he left the lineup in 1980.

Steve Perry withdraws legal action over Journey trademarks

Former Journey singer Steve Perry has withdrawn a legal action in a trademark dispute with former bandmates Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain.

Perry originally filed a petition at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office last September in an effort to invalidate 20 trademark registrations assigned to many of the band’s biggest hits for merchandising purposes held by a company called Freedom JN LLC – an entity the singer says is controlled by Schon and Cain.

The petition saw Perry claim that the pair are not allowed to unilaterally register trademarks for the song names because the trio signed a partnership agreement requiring unanimous consent for any use of the tracks, for merchandise or anything else.

Schon took to social media to update fans on the situation, posting Perry’s paperwork and writing: “So much for JC trying to throw me under the bus as he claimed I was blatantly trying to rip off SP while collecting the checks for the very diligent work my wife and I did to protect our Merch. Time for coffee.”

After scoring huge international success with Journey through the late 1970s and mid-1980s, Perry left the group in 1998.

Journey will open the 2023 Freedom tour of North America – which also celebrates the group’s 50th anniversary since their formation in San Francisco, CA in 1973 – with two shows in Durant, OK later this month.

Journey guitarist Neal Schon files new legal action against Jonathan Cain

Neal Schon has filed a new legal action against Jonathan Cain over a performance of a Journey classic during a recent political event.

According to Variety, Cain performed “Don’t Stop Believin’” during an event for Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, FL last month, which led to Schon filing a cease-and-desist order against his bandmate.

Cain has long been a member of the former president’s inner circle; his wife, Paula White, is a televangelist and Trump’s spiritual advisor.

“Although Mr. Cain is free to express his personal beliefs and associations, when he does that on behalf of Journey or for the band, such conduct is extremely deleterious to the Journey brand as it polarizes the band’s fans and outreach. Journey is not, and should not be, political,” reads the letter, in part. "Mr. Cain's unauthorized affiliation of Journey with the politics of Donald Trump has the band's fans up in arms, as is demonstrated by a sample of the attached emails and Twitter comments. This has caused, and continues to cause, irreparable harm to the Journey brand, its fan base and earning potential, especially in light of the forthcoming tour.

“Mr. Cain has no right to use Journey for politics,” the letter continues. “His politics should be his own personal business. He should not be capitalizing on Journey’s brand to promote his personal political or religious agenda to the detriment of the band,” calling it a “harmful use of the brand.”

The political event performance is the latest in a series of legal issues within the Journey organization in recent months, which include a trademark dispute with former member Steve Perry and a disagreement between Schon and Cain over alleged financial issues.

Journey recently announced dates for the 2023 Freedom tour of North America, and has just released a new package, “Live In Concert At Lollapalooza”, which captures the band’s headlining set at Lollapalooza in Chicago, IL in July of 2021.

Journey delivered the No. 1 Rock News Story Of The Year and were named the No. 2 Rock News Artist Of The Year as part of the 2022 hennemusic Rock News Awards.

KISS and Journey win 2022 hennemusic Rock News Awards

KISS and Journey were the winners of the 2022 hennemusic Rock News Awards, the daily music news site announced Friday.

The 13th annual event saw KISS named hennemusic Rock News Artist Of The Year, while Journey delivered the hennemusic Rock News Story Of The Year.

KISS and Journey were the most read-about artists in each category, whose winners are chosen by music fans: total page views determine the Rock News Story Of The Year, while the Rock News Artist Of The Year is based on the combined page views of the top 50 hennemusic rock news stories of the past twelve months.

The Top 10 in both categories were counted down over the past two weeks, in the tradition of the weekly hennemusic Hot 10.

“While KISS continues their farewell tour, their archival releases have attracted a lot of attention from hennemusic readers,” says Publisher Bruce Henne. “Vintage recordings of live concerts and the 40th anniversary ‘Creatures Of The Night’ project delivered KISS three spots in the top 10 of the hennemusic Rock News Story Of The Year category, which was won by Journey amid news of some internal legal battles with current and former members.”

2022 marks the second year in a row that KISS have picked up a hennemusic Rock News Award, after snagging hennemusic Rock News Story Of The Year honors in 2021, while Journey earn their first honors after several Top 10 finishes over the past decade.

Previous hennemusic Rock News Awards honorees include Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles, and AC/DC, among others.

A daily rock news service dedicated to providing music fans with an accurate, timely and reliable source for music news, hennemusic serves as a trusted source for rock fans who need updated information on their favorite artists and events.

Rock News Story Of The Year No. 1: JOURNEY


Former Journey singer Steve Perry launched a legal action in September in an effort to prevent former bandmates Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain from owning merchandise trademarks on the names of many of the band’s biggest hits.

Perry claims that the pair are not allowed to unilaterally register trademarks for the song names because the trio signed a partnership agreement requiring unanimous consent for any use of the tracks, for merchandise or anything else.

Rock News Artist of The Year No. 2 – JOURNEY


Journey entered 2022 with a New Year’s Eve performance from New York’s Times Square as part of the Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve special and, by February, the group shared the track list for their forthcoming album, “Freedom”, as they hit the road for shows across North America in support of the project.

In April, Journey’s 1981 smash, “Don’t Stop Believin’”, was among the 25 sound recordings selected for induction into the US Library Of Congress National Recording Registry; the following month, the group cut short the spring tour when one of the band members tested positive for Covid.

Guitarist Neal Schon performed the national anthem at Game 1 of the NBA Finals at the Chase Center in San Francisco, CA on June 2, and then appeared on America’s Got Talent to deliver “Don’t Stop Believin’” alongside Season 14 winner, pianist and singer Kodi Lee, and singer Teddy Swims for the song, in sync with the release of Swims’ version as his latest single.

In September, former Journey singer Steve Perry launched a legal action in an effort to prevent Schon and Jonathan Cain from owning merchandise trademarks on the names of many of the band’s biggest hits, which he says the pair recently registered despite Perry’s claim that the pair are not allowed to unilaterally register these trademarks because the trio signed a partnership agreement requiring unanimous consent for any use of the tracks, for merchandise or anything else.

The following month, Journey announced 2023 dates for the “Freedom” tour as Schon sued Cain over a financial dispute surrounding issues relating to the keyboardist's allegedly secret and exclusive use of a credit card under the band’s corporate company; Cain denied the claims while saying the guitarist’s issue is his inability t control his spending.

In December, Journey hired Def Leppard’s manager to oversee the band, while also releasing “Live In Concert At Lollapalooza”, which captures the group’s 2021 appearance in Chicago, IL.
