Journey’s Farewell Tour Hits Cleveland Thursday — and It Might Not Be Goodbye After All
Journey brings its “Final Frontier” farewell tour to Cleveland’s Rocket Arena on Thursday, Nov. 12, at 7:30 p.m. — but if you ask the band, the farewell might not stick.
Founding guitarist Neal Schon told Rock Cellar Magazine on Nov. 3 that “it’s not over,” and keyboardist Jonathan Cain said in a Nov. 2 interview that his time with the band may not be over either. The band already has a Stagecoach make-up date booked for April 27, 2027.
The fall leg of the tour was extended back in May with 40 additional North American dates, and it wraps Nov. 28 with a hometown show in San Francisco. The Cleveland stop is an “Evening With” show — no opener, just Journey.
For Toledo fans, it’s a short drive for a hit-packed set: expect “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Faithfully,” “Any Way You Want It” and the rest of the catalog that made the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers one of the biggest touring acts of the last five decades.
Tickets were running about $44–$67 via resale.
So is Thursday really goodbye? Schon’s answer suggests Toledo-area fans shouldn’t bet on it.
