It’s still about the Journey, not the destination.
Starting in February 2026, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees are launching their farewell ‘Final Frontier Tour’ that will send them to arenas all over North America.
The 60-concert run, which is being billed as the first leg of their goodbye run, features four concerts in the Tri-State area. They are set to take place at these venues:
CURE Insurance Arena
Trenton, NJ
Thursday, March 5
PeoplesBank Arena
Hartford, CT
Saturday, March 14
Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall
Atlantic City, NJ
Saturday, May 23
KeyBank Center
Buffalo, NY
Wednesday, June 10
Founding member Neal Schon, lead singer Arnel Pineda and co. will also perform four concerts in Pennsylvania on the nationwide jaunt.
“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, 71, shared in a statement. “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.”
While we’re not exactly sure which hits and deep cuts the group will bust out, we found that on their most recent jaunt they took approximately 20 songs to the stage at each gig, according to Set List FM.
Notable tracks include “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Any Way You Want It,” “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart),” “Lights” and “Faithfully” among others.
As for whether Pineda has the goods, Sonic Perspectives seems to think so.
“There are still some who say, ‘No Perry, No Journey.’ But the undeniable truth is that Steve Perry can no longer sing the songs of Journey the way Arnel can,” they noted in a review of an April 2022 concert in Denver. “…his performance in the oxygen-thin mile high stadium absolutely accentuated that he truly is an amazing discovery.”
Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming Journey shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the ‘Final Frontier Tour’ is Friday, Nov. 14.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

Stagecoach Country Music Festival 2026
From April 24-26, it’ll get a little bit honky tonk in Cali.

But wait! There’s more!
Non-country acts Hootie and the Blowfish, Counting Crows, Third Eye Blind, Teddy Swims and Billy Bob Thornton‘s bluesy rock group The Boxmasters are all set to perform as well.

Journey set list
With so many hits under their belt, you may be wondering what Journey plays at their live shows.
Although we can’t tell you for certain what they’ll perform at their 2026 stadium concerts, here’s a look at what they busted out at a show of theirs in Nashville on March 12, 2025, according to Set List FM.
01.) “Only the Young”
02.) “Be Good to Yourself”
03.) Guitar Solo
04.) “Stone in Love”
05.) “Ask the Lonely”
06.) “Escape”
07.) “Who’s Crying Now”
08.) “Faithfully”
09.) “Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’”
10.) Piano Solo
11.) “Open Arms”
12.) “Line of Fire”
13.) “Dead or Alive”
14.) Guitar Solo
15.) “Wheel in the Sky”
16.) “Lights”
17.) “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)”
18.) “Don’t Stop Believin’”
19.) “Any Way You Want It”
In regards to their set list, lead guitarist Neal Schon spoke to USA Today in July 2024 and said “I’ve played these songs so, so many times, whether it’s ‘Lights’ or ‘Wheel In The Sky’ or ‘Faithfully,’ but the emotions that run through me each time as you play them never gets old, especially when you see how the audience is moved.”
Journey new music
On July 8, 2022, Journey released their 15th studio album “Freedom.”
The soaring 15-track record — full of epic guitar solos, powerhouse vocals and inspirational lyrics — sounds unmistakably Journey-esque.
From the hard-charging “Together We Run” (which has stadium anthem written all over it) to the sultry, rockin’ ballad “Don’t Give Up On Us” (that sounds just like heyday Perry) to the crowd-pleasing headbanger “You Got The Best Of Me,” it’s quickly apparent Journey still has the goods.
Nostalgic, feel-good, romantic and, most importantly, fun, “Freedom” is a blast and certainly worth a spin or three.
To hear for yourself, you can find “Freedom” here.
P.S. try out the funky, bluesy jam “Let It Rain” and deceptively simple bop “All Day And All Night,” too. They’re both delightful and mix the group’s trademark sound up just just enough to keep things fresh.
