Journey in Hershey, PA 2026<\/span><\/p> After taking most of 2025 off, the members of Journey sounded well-rested and energized. Though Pineda has struggled vocally<\/a> in recent years, he sounded strong during the bulk of the performance in Hershey, though he showed perhaps a bit of rust during parts of “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart).”<\/p>\n With the longer set, Pineda also got an increased amount of vocal support from his bandmates, with Cain, Castronovo and Derlatka all\u00a0taking lead vocals at various points. Derlatka was particularly good singing another Raised on Radio<\/em> staple, “I’ll Be Alright Without You.”<\/p>\n Of course you got plenty of unbelievable guitar playing from Neal Schon throughout the night. His sprawling solo on “Who’s Crying Now” and separately, “Still They Ride” were just a couple of choice highlights showing off his ability to make a giant concert arena feel weightless with just six strings.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Cain’s traditional piano solo which led into “Who’s Crying Now” drew on a lot of different styles, as is often the case. He even threw in a bit of backroom bar soloing that sounded like something that you might have heard back in the day at one of the local joints in his hometown of Chicago.<\/p>\n The longtime member has been in the Journey ranks for over 45 years, first joining in 1980 after leaving his previous group, the Babys<\/a>.. As he told UCR earlier this month, he’s ready to walk away.<\/p>\n “I had a long time to contemplate what I wanted to do,” he shared<\/a>. “It just feels like a good time to get off the train. I’m going to be 76 on Feb. 26; you’ve got to at some point say enough’s enough. It’s a grind, man. I just feel like this tour is a beautiful closing chapter. I want to focus on celebrating the music and the audience who stayed with us for generations.”<\/p>\n During\u00a0Saturday evening’s performance in Hershey, he introduced “Faithfully,” telling fans he’d written the song in 1982, “about the sacrifices we make for the road life we live.”<\/p>\n Adding a bit of extra gravity to that statement, he noted, “on this farewell tour, I celebrate 45 years of touring and recording with Journey.” He thanked the fans for “all of your love and support over the years” and then went on to dedicate “Faithfully” to America’s patriots and veterans, sharing a long speech in tribute to those who have made sacrifices of a different kind.<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Jonathan Cain’s Best Songs With Journey, the Babys and Bad English<\/a><\/p>\n Journey in Hershey, PA 2026<\/span><\/p> The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame<\/a> legends first confirmed plans for their farewell tour this past November. There are currently more than 60 dates booked for the first leg, including an appearance at the annual Stagecoach Festival<\/a> in April.<\/p>\n So is this really the end for Journey? Even Schon was unsure when he spoke with<\/a> Rolling Stone<\/em> not long after the trek was announced.\u00a0“I can\u2019t really speculate at this point. I\u2019m kind of ready to move on,” he said.<\/p>\n “For one, there\u2019s so many tribute bands out there right now playing whatever show we do,” he explained. “That\u2019s why I\u2019m really glad that we\u2019re going to change things up here and throw in a lot of loops that people don\u2019t expect because there\u2019s so many tribute bands out there doing exactly the same show we\u2019re doing.”<\/p>\n He’s been clear though that he’s going to continue to make music, even as Cain steps away to focus on his solo career and other things he wants to do outside of the band. If this is it for Journey, the band, fans can expect a lengthy goodbye if they close this current chapter. The Final Frontier<\/em> outing is expected to be a lengthy run that will stretch into 2027.<\/p>\n While the former vocalist, according to<\/a> the band, continues to have an open door to show up at any of the upcoming shows, he recently offered clarity on his current stance. “I completely understand why people would hope for [a reunion],” he said<\/a> as part of a statement on his official social media. “The music we created together means a great deal to me too. But I\u2019m continuing to explore new creative work and really enjoy working on new music that reflects where I am today.”<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Rock’s Biggest Tours in 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Journey in Hershey, PA 2026<\/span><\/p> 1. “Faith in the Heartland” \u00a0<\/p>\n They’re seemingly always on the road, but the shows haven’t necessarily been well-documented.\u00a0So, we took a more expansive look back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Nick DeRiso<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThis is the Final Frontier for Jonathan Cain<\/h3>\n
