Journey has announced a 40-date “Freedom Tour 2022” North American tour with Billy Idol and Toto.
Billy Idol will open the first leg of the tour, with Toto taking over as the support act starting on April 7 in San Diego, California.
Journey guitarist Neal Schon said in a statement: “It’s that time — time to get back to where we are used to being — on stage! We are looking forward to shifting into high gear and bringing you the best show possible. The band is running on all 12 cylinders and very excited! Please come and join us once again for an evening full of rocking stage connection fun. See you soon, friends.”
Idol added: “Touring next year with Journey is going to be great fun! An epic night you won’t want to miss. I’m excited to get back to so many wonderful cities and I’m bringing Steve Stevens and the rest of the Billy Idol band with me!”
Toto’s Steve Lukather said: “On behalf of myself and the band, we are very honored and excited to do this tour with our old and dear friends Journey. Gonna be a great night of music, and as all the guys are lifelong friends… a blast off stage as well.”
