Journey will set out on a 40-city North American arena tour in 2022 featuring support from Billy Idol and Toto. The tour is named for Journey’s forthcoming new album, Freedom, the band’s first LP since 2011’s Eclipse, due to arrive in 2022.
Following a previously announced December 2021 Las Vegas residency at The Theater at Virgin Hotels—which wraps with a special symphonic performance on 12/18—Journey will link up with Billy Idol for the first leg of the AEG-presented 2022 Freedom Tour, which stretches from February 22nd in Pittsburgh through April 5th in Los Angeles. From there, Journey will join forces with Toto for a run of shows beginning on April 7th in San Diego, CA and culminating on Wednesday, May 11th in Hartford, CT.
A Citi cardmember pre-sale will run from Tuesday, November 16th at 10 a.m. local time through Thursday, November 18th at 10 p.m. local time. For pre-sale details, head here.
