JOURNEY Schedule Manila Date In March



On March 21st, 2013, Manila will play host to JOURNEY, as the band makes their long awaited return to the Philippines.





In addition to being one of the most popular American rock bands of
all time, Journey has made a huge impact all over the world. 'Open
Arms', 'Who's Crying Now', 'Any Way You Want It', 'Don't Stop
Believin'', songs that to this day, are popular from New York to Manila.


Formed in 1973, the band has earned 19 Top 40 singles and 25 Gold
and Platinum albums. They released their self titled album in 1975, Look
Into the Future (1976) and Next (1977). In 1978, they released their
fourth album Infinity which immediately went Platinum and remained on
the charts for more than two years. Infinity has sold more than three
million copies to date and was produced by Roy Thomas Baker (ROLLING
STONES, QUEEN, THE CARS). Their 1979 album Evolution became their second
million-selling album. Then in 1981, Journey's album Escape became
their first #1 album which produced hits such as 'Don't Stop Believin'',
'Who's Crying Now', and 'Open Arms'.


In 2007, Journey was rejuvenated when Arnel Pineda joined the band
as lead singer after founding member and lead guitarist Neal Schon
discovered the singer on YouTube singing with a local band in the
Philippines. After viewing more videos of Pineda, Schon made a phone
call to fellow member Jonathan Cain to share the news. Schon then
personally contacted Pineda to invite him to San Francisco to audition
for Journey. Shortly thereafter, Pineda had become new lead singer of
Journey.





Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, Ross Valory, Deen Castronovo and Arnel
Pineda will rock Manila on Thursday March 21st at 8 PM, at the Mall of
Asia Arena. Tickets go on sale December 29th at 12 noon. For tickets
