Multi-Platinum rockers Journey—Neal Schon (guitars), Ross Valory (bass), Jonathan Cain (keyboards), Deen Castronovo (drums) and Arnel Pineda (vocals)--are heading out on a massive summer tour along with Heart and Cheap Trick.  They’re criss-crossing the U.S. and Canada to promote REVELATION, the highly anticipated three-disc CD/DVD package which was released June 3 exclusively at Wal-Mart stores in North America. 

 

They’re landing in Tucson, AZ on Saturday, July 19 at the AVA Amphitheatre.

 

 

This marks the first trek with new singer Arnel Pineda, who hails from Quezon City in the Philippines and has been singing Journey songs--in addition to original material--with his band, The Zoo, for the past couple of years in clubs all over his homeland.  He was discovered by guitarist Neal Schon on YouTube singing the Journey classic “Faithfully” with the Zoo.  After watching the video, Schon knew the search for a new frontman was over.

 

REVELATION has been racking up rave reviews.  To wit:

 

“…the band seems to have taken rock vitamins: it feels alive.”

 

--Ben Ratliff, New York Times, June 2, 2008

 

“…some damn good originals…the craftsmanship is formidable, and there is undeniable pleasure in young-lovers-battling-the-odds arias like ‘Faith In The Heartland.’” 

 

--Jody Rosen, Rolling Stone, July 10-24, 2008
