Journey’s 2024 Midwest Tour: Get Ready to Rock!
EDINA, MN – Buckle up, music fans! Journey’s iconic tune “Don’t Stop Believin'” has just been crowned the “Biggest Song of All Time” by Forbes. This legendary anthem has been a staple at sporting events, blaring on the radio, and featured in countless movies and TV shows.
Even if you’re not a die-hard Journey fan, you’ve probably belted out the lyrics at least once in your life. And here’s the kicker: they are heading to Minneapolis and throughout the Midwest during their summer 2024 tour with Def Leppard.
A Hit from the Start
Released in October 1981 as part of Journey’s seventh studio album, “Don’t Stop Believin'” quickly skyrocketed to fame. With its epic opening and sing-along lyrics, it became an instant classic.
In Michigan, the line “Born and raised in South Detroit” is sung with extra gusto, especially at bars and sporting events. During the pandemic, the song became a beacon of hope at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, celebrated by patients recovering from COVID-19.
Unstoppable Success
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has confirmed that “Don’t Stop Believin'” is now an 18-times-platinum-certified single.
It’s safe to say that almost everyone on the planet has heard this iconic tune at least once. Journey’s frontman Steve Perry always believed in the song’s potential, despite its initial lukewarm radio reception.
From the Big Screen to Legendary Status
Perry’s faith in the song was cemented when it was featured in the film “Monster” directed by Patty Jenkins.
The powerful lyrics about hope, resilience, and youth struck a chord with audiences everywhere. It’s about not giving up, even when times get tough. This message resonates with everyone, making it a timeless anthem.
Arnel Pineda’s Personal Motto
Current Journey singer Arnel Pineda has embraced the song’s message as his personal mantra.
Long before he joined Journey, Pineda lived by the motto of never stopping believing in himself. Through all his hardships, he held onto the hope that something magical was waiting for him. And it seems he was right!
