Rock icons Journey have announced a special 50th anniversary tour. Amongst the dates is one at Manchester’s AO Arena.

The band released their 16th studio album ‘Freedom’ in 2022. The tour will be to mark their landmark anniversary.

Journey have been a major name in world music for decades, with ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ being a track that has gone down as a classic tune since its release in 1981. The band will bring their 2024 tour to Manchester on Friday November 8.

Supporting Journey on their UK dates will be Cheap Trick. Formed in Rockford, Illinois in 1973, the band has 20 studio albums to their name.
