After more than 50 years on the road, Journey is preparing for one last victory lap. On Thursday (Nov. 5), the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band announced plans for its Final Frontier Tour, a 60-date North American trek that will kick off Feb. 28 at Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and run through July 2 in Laredo, Texas. Billed as “A Special Evening With Journey,” the tour will feature a new stage production and a career-spanning setlist packed with the band’s biggest hits — including “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Any Way You Want It,” “Faithfully,” “Lights” and more — along with a handful of deeper cuts for longtime fans. All dates are being promoted by AEG Presents. “This tour is our heartfelt thank-you to the fans who’ve been with us every step of the way,” said founder and guitarist Neal Schon in a statement. “We’re pulling out all the stops — the hits, the deep cuts, the energy, the spectacle. It’s a full-circle celebration of the music that’s brought us all together.” Schon emphasized that while this marks the final chapter for Journey as a touring act, he has no plans to step away from music entirely. “I want everyone to know I’m not done,” he said. “Music is still burning strong inside me, and there are new creative horizons ahead.” Keyboardist Jonathan Cain called the farewell run a chance to reconnect with the fans one more time. “We’ve shared our music with millions and this tour is about gratitude, connection and one last chance to feel that magic together,” he said. Frontman Arnel Pineda, who joined the band in 2007 after being discovered by Schon on YouTube, added: “Every night on stage has been a dream come true. I’m honored to be part of this legacy.” The current lineup also features Jason Derlatka (keyboards, vocals), Deen Castronovo (drums, vocals) and Todd Jensen (bass). Since forming in 1973, Journey has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, scored 18 top 40 Billboard Hot 100 singles, and earned RIAA diamond certification for its Greatest Hits album. “Don’t Stop Believin’” passed 1 billion streams on Spotify in 2024 and remains one of the most downloaded songs in the history of digital music. The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2017 and received the Billboard Legends of Live award for its blockbuster co-headline tour with Def Leppard in 2018, which sold more than 1 million tickets. Tickets go on sale to the general public Nov. 14 at 10 a.m. local time. Citi cardmembers will have access to a presale beginning Nov. 11 at 10 a.m. local time through Citi Entertainment. A limited number of VIP packages — including premium seats and exclusive merch — will be available. Journey’s Final Frontier Tour dates are below:
