Journey — the legendary rock band behind Don’t Stop Believin’, Open Arms and countless arena anthems — has kicked off their 2026 Final Frontier Farewell Tour, a massive run of shows marking what’s expected to be their final chapter on the road. The tour officially began on February 28, 2026, in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and will take the iconic band to 60+ cities across North America through July 2, 2026.
The tour was announced on November 6, 2025, and tickets went on sale November 14, 2025 after presales earlier in the week. The trek is billed as a heartfelt celebration of Journey’s five-plus decades of music, giving fans one last chance to experience the band live with an extensive catalogue spanning their entire career.
