Journey is the American rock band behind "Don't Stop Believin'," one of the most enduring catalog songs in popular music. Formed in San Francisco in 1973 and signed to Columbia Records, the band reached its commercial peak with Escape in 1981, a number one album that also carried "Open Arms" and "Who's Crying Now," and with Frontiers in 1983, home to "Separate Ways" and "Faithfully." Their 1988 Greatest Hits collection has since been certified Diamond by the RIAA, and the band has kept recording, most recently Freedom in 2022.
They started as a players' band. Neal Schon and Gregg Rolie came out of Santana and Ross Valory out of Frumious Bandersnatch, and the early records leaned progressive and jazz-inflected before Steve Perry joined in 1977 and the sound turned toward the arena. Perry fronted the band through its biggest years and left in 1998.
Schon still leads the group alongside keyboardist Jonathan Cain, who co-wrote "Don't Stop Believin'," with Arnel Pineda on lead vocals since 2007, joined by Deen Castronovo, Jason Derlatka and Todd Jensen. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017 and honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Journey are currently out on The Final Frontier, a farewell run of more than 100 North American dates across 2026. That makes the remaining calendar a narrow window for festival and fair lineups, casino stages, corporate events, and private engagements.
