Journey Extends ‘Final Frontier Farewell Tour’ with 40 New North American Dates

The legendary American rock band Journey is extending its farewell journey. Following a steady run of shows that began in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on February 28, the band has officially announced the addition of 40 North American dates to its Final Frontier Farewell Tour.

This new leg of the tour is set to expand the band’s reach across the continent, kicking off on September 12 in Los Angeles and concluding on November 28 in San Francisco.

A Setlist Designed for Every Fan

In a departure from many recent tours, Journey is performing without any other acts on the bill. This change has allowed the band to deliver extended sets that cater to both casual listeners and longtime devotees. The performances feature a curated mix of the band’s massive commercial hits and rarer tracks.

Fans can expect to hear iconic anthems such as “Lights,” “Faithfully,” “Any Way You Want It,” and the global phenomenon “Don’t Stop Believin’.” To provide a deeper experience, the band is also incorporating “deep cuts” like “Dead or Alive,” “Chain Reaction,” and “Suzanne,” as well as “Of a Lifetime,” a track from their 1975 self-titled debut album.

Messages from the Band

The band members expressed their gratitude for the ongoing support of their audience as they prepare for the upcoming fall dates. Journey founder and guitarist Neal Schon highlighted the emotional connection shared with the crowd.

“The energy has been incredible every night,” 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.”

Frontman Arnel Pineda echoed these sentiments, noting the celebratory atmosphere of the current tour leg.

“The fans have been incredible,” Pineda stated. “Every night feels like a celebration and we’re excited to share that experience with even more cities.”

The tour expansion comes after a period of personal reflection for Pineda. In 2024, the singer revealed to Rolling Stone that personal challenges had led him to consider retirement and potentially leaving the band during the planning stages of the farewell tour.
