Legendary rock band Journey is gearing up for what they’re calling their final tour, and fans in Sacramento are in for a thrilling show. You know you’re a real rock star when you can retire on your own terms, especially after belting out “Don’t Stop Believin’” for decades. The band, which got its start rocking in the Bay Area, will hit the Golden 1 Center on April 21, 2026, before heading to Bakersfield and Fresno. Maybe you’ll finally get to hear deejays quit playing “Don’t Stop Believin’” at every wedding—well, we can only hope!
Neal Schon, the man who founded the band and still strums out those iconic guitar riffs, said he carries the “Journey torch” into this tour. Fun fact: he’s not just a one-hit wonder; Schon has been inducted into the Hall of Fame three times! It seems he’s not ready to hang up his guitar, stating there are still “creative horizons ahead.” So, who knows what surprises he has up his sleeve for this tour? Hopefully, it includes some deep cuts for the die-hard fans!
As we gear up for the final bow of one of rock’s biggest acts, it’s worth wondering: what does a farewell concert mean for you? Does it feel like an end, or does it just signal more reunion tours to come? Let’s face it—rock legends never really say goodbye; they just take breaks until they need to pay the rent again!
