Journey announced the new tour in support of their forthcoming album “Freedom,” set to release in 2022. Rock and roll icon Billy Idol will join the band as a special guest on tour from Feb. 22 to April 5. Special guest Toto will also join Journey as support on all remaining dates beginning in San Diego on April 7.
The upcoming tour launches in February 2022 and will span 40 cities across North America with their catalog of global chart-topping hits, including “Don’t Stop Believin”, “Any Way You Want It”, “Faithfully” and “Lights.”
“It’s that time – time to get back to where we are used to being – on Stage!” Journey lead guitarist and founding member Neal Schon said in a release. “We are looking forward to shifting into high gear and bringing you the best show possible. The band is running on all 12 cylinders and very excited! Please come and join us once again for an evening full of rocking stage connection fun. See you soon Friends.”
