To mark their 50th anniversary, Journey are bringing Toto along for their Freedom Tour, which kicks off Feb. 9 and stops by Memorial Coliseum on Friday, April 19.
It’s a bill that will feature two of the greatest guitarists in the business: Journey’s Neal Schon and Toto’s Steve Lukather.
“We are looking forward to hitting the road again with our very good friends Toto,” Schon said in a press release. “Come join us for a special evening full of fun and rockin’ good memories. See you soon, friends.”
Journey will be bringing their global chart-topping hits like “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Any Way You Want It,” and “Faithfully.” Not to be overshadowed, Toto will be breaking out their hits “Rosanna,” “Africa,” and “Hold the Line.”
Yeah, you may not have a voice come the following morning.
Tickets go on sale Friday, Sept. 29, at 10 a.m. at ticketmaster.com and at the MidWest America ticket office at the Coliseum.
