Journey have announced plans to bring their 50th anniversary tour to the UK and Ireland. The band will play 11 arena shows in October and November, kicking off at the Utilita Arena in Cardiff on October 30, and climaxing at The O2 in London on November 17. Support at all shows will comes from Cheap Trick.
"It's been too long since we've seen you all!" says Journey guitarist Neal Schon. "We are all very excited to be coming back to the UK and playing with our good friends Cheap Trick, who I’ve known and played with since the 70s. It’s going to be a great party for all!"
An AEG presale will begin this Thursday at 10am, while the general sale will start on Friday at the same time.
Journey are currently on the US leg of their 50th anniversary tour, and in July they hit the road for a run of North American stadium shows with Def Leppard. Support at each of the stadium shows will comes from Cheap Trick, the Steve Miller Band or Heart. Full dates below.
