- Journey is beginning the last leg of a tour being billed as a farewell tour, with shows starting in Los Angeles in September and ending in San Francisco in November.

- The tour includes stops in cities such as Phoenix, Seattle, Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, Cleveland, Denver and Las Vegas.
- The run will cap more than 100 concerts this year, and the band often plays for more than two hours.
- Schon said he is enjoying the chance to perform a broader range of material, including deep cuts and album tracks alongside the band’s well-known hits.
- Journey has had six Top 10 Billboard singles and eight Top 10 albums, including the 1981 No. 1 album 'Escape.'
Journey is preparing for the final leg of a tour that is being described as its farewell run, with the schedule beginning in Los Angeles in September and ending in San Francisco in November. Co-founder and lead guitarist Neal Schon said the San Francisco finale is likely to be emotional because the band started there.
The remaining dates include stops in several major U.S. cities, among them Phoenix, Seattle, Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, Cleveland, Denver and Las Vegas. The tour is set to wrap up a year in which the band has played more than 100 concerts, with many shows running for more than two hours.
Schon said he welcomes the chance to build a set list that goes beyond the group’s biggest hits. Along with songs such as 'Faithfully' and 'Don’t Stop Believin',' the band has been adding deeper cuts from its early years and later albums. Journey’s chart history includes six Top 10 singles and eight Top 10 albums, including the 1981 No. 1 album 'Escape.'
Journey为可能是乐队最后一次共同巡演的尾声做准备
Journey正在为一轮被称为告别巡演的最后阶段做准备，这轮演出将于9月在洛杉矶启动，并于11月在旧金山结束。联合创始人兼主音吉他手Neal Schon表示，旧金山的收官场次很可能会带有情绪，因为乐队最初就是在那里开始的。
剩余行程包括菲尼克斯、西雅图、芝加哥、亚特兰大、纳什维尔、巴尔的摩、费城、底特律、波士顿、克利夫兰、丹佛和拉斯维加斯等多座美国城市。这轮巡演将为乐队今年超过100场演出画上句号，许多场次演出时长都超过两小时。
Schon说，他很愿意借这次巡演扩展曲目单，不只演唱乐队最著名的热门歌曲，也加入早期作品和后期专辑中的冷门曲目。Journey的榜单成绩包括6首进入Billboard单曲榜前十的歌曲和8张进入Billboard 200前十的专辑，其中包括1981年的冠军专辑《Escape》。
