Journey, Foreigner, Styx To Tour UK Together

Journey, Foreigner and Styx will be heading to the UK in June 2011 to play five cities together for the very first time in the UK.

On Journey’s return to Britain, guitarist Neal Schon said:

“We’re so excited to be coming back to the UK to play arenas with our friends Foreigner and Styx. Be prepared to hear a lot of hit songs.”

Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones adds:

“This will be one of the main events of the summer. Bands who represent the magic era in classic rock together for the first time in my home country. Get ready to rock!”

Styx guitarist James ‘JY’ Young enthuses:

“Styx has always enjoyed sharing the stage with Journey, going back to the Santa Monica Civic Center in 1976. The tour we did with them in 2003 across the United States was an amazing success of sold-out arenas. Journey, Foreigner and Styx seems like a can’t-miss ‘guitars a-blazin’, vocals amazin’ kind of a classic rock evening.”

The tour will be sponsored by the brand new magazine Classic Rock Presents AOR. Editor Geoff Barton had the following to say:

“With melodic rock on the resurgence, this tour is going to be one of the must-sees of 2011. We’re happy to set the ball rolling by featuring Journey on the cover of our brand new magazine, Classic Rock Presents AOR, which goes on sale on November 17. And, of course, with Journey’s classic song Don’t Stop Believin’ enjoying a brand new lease of life, it was only right that the track, making it back into the Top 10 nearly 30 years after its release, would be in the running to receive ‘Event Of The Year’ at our prestigious Classic Rock Roll Of Honour Awards.”
