The outing, which will visit 60 cities, kicks off on February 28 in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and is currently is plotted out through a July 2 performance in Laredo, Texas.
The tour will showcase a brand-new stage production as the band delivers a set featuring their many classic hits, including “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Any Way You Want It,” “Faithfully,” and “Lights.” The trek is being described as “a celebration of legacy, love and the fans who made it all possible.” All the shows will be presented as “A Special Evening With [Journey].”

Meanwhile, a limited number of VIP packages offering premium reserved tickets, custom merchandise, and more also will be available.
Journey’s touring lineup continues to feature founding lead guitarist Neal Schon, longtime keyboardist Jonathan Cain, and frontman Arnel Pineda, as well as drummer Deen Castronovo, keyboardist Jason Derlatka, and bassist Todd Jensen.
Comments About the Tour from Journey Members
Schon, Cain, and Pineda have all issued statements regarding Journey’s Final Frontier Tour.
“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,” Schon said. “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.”
He added, “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.”
Cain shared, “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.”
Pineda, the Filipino vocalist who famously was hired as Journey’s new lead singer after Schon saw a video of him performing on YouTube, added, “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.”
More About Journey’s Farewell Tour and Recent Band Drama and News
Although the length of Journey’s farewell tour hasn’t been officially announced, it appears that the trek will continue into 2027. A post of the band’s social media pages featured the following note: “We are taking a poll to see what you’ll would like to hear in 26-27 tour so please friends put in your song choices!!!!”
In recent years, Schon and Cain have had a variety of well-documented conflicts, including dueling lawsuits that were settled in August 2024. The legal battle revolved around Cain’s claim that Schon’s spending on the band’s then-latest tour was putting undue financial strain on the group.
Then, in October on 2025, Schon posted a message on his socials declaring, “Jonathan Cain announced his farewell to Journey tonight. I’m nowhere near done! Journey has so much more life ahead!”
A rep for Cain then released the following statement that clarified his plans: “Jonathan Cain remains an active member of Journey, and any reports suggesting otherwise are inaccurate. He is fully dedicated to touring with the band over the next couple of years and has only expressed plans to retire at a later time.”
Also, in a video interview at the time, Cain explained that he’d be touring with Journey in 2026 and 2027, and after that planned to focus on his ministry work. In recent years, Jonathan has served as a minister alongside his wife, pastor Paula White-Cain, who also is a spiritual adviser to President Donald Trump.
Since 2016, Cain also has been releasing a series of faith-themed albums and singles.
Meanwhile, in August 2025, Schon filed a request at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a logo and an apparent music-related project called “Journey Beyond.” This prompted speculation that Neal was planning to launch a Journey-related group when the band retired.
