Journey concert chronology

The Final Frontier Tour is a concert tour by the American rock band Journey. It was announced in November 2025 and began on February 28, 2026 in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Background

In September 2025, the band announced a performance at the Stagecoach Festival on April 25, 2026.[1]

In October 2025, longtime Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain announced he would leave the band after the 2026-2027 tour, citing "I'm coming with an EP at the end of the year. Then, of course, we go on the Journey tour in 2026 – on our farewell Journey tour. So, I'll be saying goodbye to that".[2] He also quoted he wanted to work on his Ministry, quoting "I feel a calling there". Jonathan has been on Keyboards for Journey since 1981, after former Keyboardist Gregg Rolie left the group. "Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I was going to be able to create this kind of lasting longevity when it comes to writing. I'm most proud of my songwriting and my relationship with Steve [Perry], and how we were able to craft these songs with Neal that mean so much to so many people. That's pretty overwhelming to think about," he also said in an interview with Ultimate Classic Rock.[2]

On November 5, the band posted that the new tour would be called "The Final Frontier Tour". The next day, the 2026 tour dates were released, with the tickets going on sale on November 14 at 10am.[3][4]

On November 7, Neal Schon did an interview with Ultimate Classic Rock, where he talked about the tour. "We're doing 'An Evening with Journey', two full sets with an intermission, there'll be no opener. It's all Journey. So, we're going to be digging into songs we haven't done in decades, plus the anthems that everybody loves". When Schon was asked about this being Journey's ''final'' tour, he stated "I can't really speculate at this point. I'm kind of ready to move on. For one, there's so many tribute bands out there right now playing whatever show we do. That’s why I'm really glad that we're going to change things up here and throw in a lot of loops that people don't expect because there's so many tribute bands out there doing exactly the same show we're doing".[5]
