After rocking more than 50 years, Journey is finally calling it quits next year with a massive North American outing dubbed the Final Frontier Tour 2026.
Beginning February 28 in Hershey, Pennsylvania, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers will embark on a 60-city route, billed as "a special evening with Journey" that will eventually wrap July 2 in Laredo, Texas.
“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.”
He continued:
“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. 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.”
Guitarist Jonathan Cain agreed:
“It’s been an incredible ride. 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.”
While OG vocalist Steve Perry quit decades ago, the influential rock band will be joined by longtime singer Arnel Pineda, who's been singing with the group since 2007.
“I’m honored to be part of this legacy and I’m grateful for having been welcomed with such open arms,” he said in a statement. “Every night on stage has been a dream come true.”
Pre-sales for the tour are scheduled to begin Tuesday, November 11 via Ticketmaster, with a general ticket on-sale following Friday, November 14.
