Journey Announce Huge 2023 North American Tour With Toto

Journey and Toto had such a great time touring together in 2022, they’re going to do it together again in 2023. The two legendary rock bands will share the stage on the continuation of Journey’s 50th anniversary “Freedom Tour.”

The new batch of dates start Feb. 4 in Allentown, Pa., keeping the bands on the road through the April 25 finale in Palm Springs, Calif. You can see all of the dates, cities and venues listed below. It should also be noted that a handful of shows are ones that have been rescheduled from earlier this year when the band had to postpone dates due to COVID-19.

Journey guitarist Neal Schon says, “We are all thankful and overwhelmed by the success of our Journey ‘Freedom Tour 2022′ this year and have added a new run of dates for 2023. We are looking forward to hitting the road again with our very good friends Toto! Come join us for a special evening full of fun and rockin’ good memories. See you soon, friends.”

Keyboardist Jonathan Cain adds, “Excited to perform for our fans as we tour next year with Toto. The combined hits of both bands represent a couple of decades of excellence that have become a soundtrack for people’s lives. The music of Journey along with the music of Toto is an example of ‘certain music’ during ‘uncertain times.'”

Meanwhile, Toto guitarist Steve Lukather chips in, “‘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.”

Tickets are expected to go on sale this Friday (Oct. 21) at 10AM local time. Stay tuned to each band’s websites for additional ticketing info.
