Journey prepares for the last leg of what could be rockers’ final tour together

The iconic rock band Journey is preparing for the final leg of what could be their last tour together. The tour kicks off in September in Los Angeles, with an emotional homecoming in San Francisco at the end of November. Neal Schon, co-founder and lead guitarist, expects the audience to be emotionally charged. The band has a long list of cities to perform in, including Phoenix, Seattle, Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, Cleveland, Denver, and Las Vegas.

The final show in San Francisco will mark more than 100 concerts for the year, with the band often playing for over two hours, including deep cuts from their discography. Journey has had six Top 10 hits on the Billboard singles chart and eight albums in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. Their enduring anthem, "Don't Stop Believin'," has been featured in numerous films, TV shows, and Broadway productions.

The band members recall the challenges they've faced in the ever-changing music industry, but they remain optimistic about the future. After the final San Francisco show, the band is unsure of what lies ahead, but Neal Schon and co-founder Jonathan Cain hope it will be a fitting end to their incredible journey.
