Journey plans farewell Final Frontier tour, including Pittsburgh show in 2026

It will be the end of an era for Journey.

The arena rock icons are saying goodbye, announcing their Final Frontier tour on Thursday.

The second show of the tour for the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers will be in Pittsburgh — March 2, 2026, at PPG Paints Arena.

Known for radio hits like “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Any Way You Want It” and “Faithfully,” Journey currently includes founder Neal Schon (lead guitarist), Jonathan Cain (keyboards, backing vocals), Arnel Pineda (lead vocals), Jason Derlatka (keyboards, vocals), Deen Castronovo (drums, vocals) and Todd Jensen (bass).

“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 said. “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.”

The North American tour kicks off Feb. 28 in Hershey, hitting 60 cities, with the first leg of the tour wrapping up July 2 in Laredo, Texas. It’s expected to run into 2027 as well.

“As its founding member, I carry the Journey torch to this day, wherever I go. The sentiment and spirit of the band will always remain,” Schon said. “While this marks a farewell to one powerful chapter of the Journey we’ve shared, I want everyone to know I’m not done. Music is still burning strong inside me, and there are new creative horizons ahead. This tour is both a thank you and the beginning of what’s next.”

Cain had previously announced his intention to step away from the band after 2027.

“It’s been an incredible ride,” Cain said. “We’ve shared our music with millions, and this tour is about gratitude, connection and one last chance to feel that magic together. We wouldn’t want it any other way.”
