Journey Extends Farewell Tour With 40 New North American Dates Through 2026

Journey Extends Farewell Tour With 40 New North American Dates Through 2026

Journey has added 40 new North American dates to its Final Frontier farewell tour, extending the run into late 2026. The new leg starts Sept. 12 in Los Angeles and ends Nov. 28 in San Francisco.

"The energy has been incredible every night," Journey founder and guitarist Neal Schon said in a statement. "Seeing these crowds sing these songs with us after all these years has been powerful. We're excited to bring The Final Frontier Tour to even more cities this fall."

This tour features only Journey, without any opening acts. The band is playing longer sets that include both major hits, such as "Lights," "Faithfully," "Any Way You Want It," and "Don't Stop Believin'," along with lesser-known tracks like "Dead or Alive," "Chain Reaction," "Suzanne," and "Of a Lifetime" from their 1975 debut album.

"The fans have been incredible," frontman Arnel Pineda said in a statement. "Every night feels like a celebration, and we're excited to share that experience with even more cities."

Before the tour began in February, Pineda told Rolling Stone that personal issues nearly led him to quit the band. "Back in 2024, I said to them, 'If you're planning to do a farewell tour, you better tell me, because my issues and my personal problems are getting more intense, and I don't know if I want to go with you,'" Pineda said. He told the band he wanted to retire because of his personal problems, but received no reply.

Schon said the situation was complicated. "He sent a lot of messages that he was overwhelmed with his personal life and didn't know if he could do it. But we all signed contracts," Schon said. "Honestly, I'm signed up for the next two years. I'm ready for it. Whatever goes down, I'm ready to plow through it, survive, and float to the top. I hope that he feels better about things."

Despite internal challenges, the band has continued to perform together. More dates are scheduled through 2027, and the location of the final show remains undecided.

Pineda has publicly wished for former Journey singer Steve Perry to make an appearance during the farewell run. "I wish Steve Perry would make an appearance. He doesn't even have to sing. He can just take a bow with the guys," Pineda told Rolling Stone in February. "If he doesn't want to do it, I would respect that. But if he would do that, that would be such an amazing sight."

A Perry appearance remains unlikely, but the songs he created with Journey continue to drive the live show.
