Legendary rockers JOURNEY have announced the "Final Frontier" farewell tour, set to launch in early 2026.
Presented by AEG Presents, the first North American leg of "Final Frontier" will consist of 60 dates, kicking off on February 28 in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and wrapping up on 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 — through every song, every era, every high and low," JOURNEY guitarist and founder Neal Schon said in a statement. "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," Schon continued. "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."
Longtime keyboardist Jonathan Cain added: "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."
JOURNEY singer Arnel Pineda, who joined the band in 2007 after being discovered by Schon on YouTube, said: "I'm honored to be part of this legacy and I'm grateful for having been welcomed with such open arms. Every night on stage has been a dream come true."
Joining Schon, Cain and Pineda on stage will be keyboardist/singer Jason Derlatka, drummer/singer Deen Castronovo, and bassist Todd Jensen.
Billed as "A Special Evening With Journey", the "Final Frontier" tour promises an "all-new, special evening with stage production across North America with their catalog of global chart-topping hits, including 'Don't Stop Believin'', 'Any Way You Want It', 'Faithfully', 'Lights' and more in a celebration of legacy, love and the fans who made it all possible."
JOURNEY has had 19 Top 40 singles and sold more than 100 million albums worldwide since forming in 1973.
Schon is a three-time Hall Of Fame inductee, having been inducted into the Oklahoma Hall Of Fame, the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and the Grammy Hall Of Fame. Jonathan Cain is a recipient of two BMI songwriter awards and was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame as a member of JOURNEY.
