Founding guitarist Neal Schon said in a statement, per Rolling Stone: “This tour is our heartfelt thank you to the fans who’ve been with us every step of the way — through every song, every era, every high and low. We’re pulling out all the stops with a brand-new production — the hits, the deep cuts, the energy, the spectacle. It’s a full-circle celebration of the music that’s brought us all together.
“As its founding member, I carry the Journey torch to this day, wherever I go,” he continues. “The sentiment and spirit of the band will always remain. While this marks a farewell to one powerful chapter of the Journey we’ve shared, I want everyone to know I’m not done. Music is still burning strong inside me, and there are new creative horizons ahead. This tour is both a thank you and the beginning of what’s next.”
Longtime keyboardist Jonathan Cain added: “It’s been an incredible ride. We’ve shared our music with millions, and this tour is about gratitude, connection, and one last chance to feel that magic together. We wouldn’t want it any other way.”
The farewell tour announcement comes just weeks after Schon alleged on social media that Cain would be leaving the band after their 2026-27 tour. Cain denied the comment via his team: “And any reports suggesting otherwise are inaccurate. He is fully dedicated to touring with the band over the next couple of years and has only expressed plans to retire at a later time”.
Cain did, however, suggest in a recent appearance on the Strang Report podcast that he has plans to leave Journey, describing a 2026 tour with the band as “our farewell Journey tour”, adding: “So I’ll be saying goodbye to that”.
Cain and Schon have been locked in a bitter public dispute for some time – in 2024, Cain filed a lawsuit against Schon during the band’s co-headline tour with Def Leppard, on grounds of frustrations over his “expenses related to the tour”, including “budgeting and spending” of the band’s credit card over personal expenses.
Schon later said the band had opted to bring in “someone impartial” to help smooth over their differences. “Anyone who follows Journey will know that Jon Cain and I don’t always see eye-to-eye on everything Or, sometimes, on pretty much anything,” he wrote.
Schon, who is the band’s lead guitarist and sole original member, owns 50 per cent of the band via entity Freedom 2020, with Cain owning the other half, making it a deadlock when it comes to company decisions, per Bloomberg Law. Cain is the second longest serving member of the band, having joined it in 1980.
