Only days after wrapping their debut Las Vegas residency, Journey has announced an extensive North American tour for 2020.
And English-American rock outfit The Pretenders will be joining the Don’t Stop Believin’ rockers for all 60 dates.
Plans for the ambitious trek were unveiled on Thursday morning. It kicks off on May 15 in Ridgefield, Wash. Along the way, the duo will stop by three Canadian cities: Vancouver, Toronto and Quebec City.
Journey and The Pretenders will conclude the tour on Sept. 12 in Bethel, N.Y. — the small town where the original Woodstock festival was held in August 1969.
Both acts are Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. Journey was welcomed in 2017, while The Pretenders joined the prestigious ranks back in 2005.

Currently, Journey’s lineup consists of frontman Arnel Pineda, keyboardist Jonathan Cain, drummer Steve Smith, and co-founding members Neal Schon (guitar) and Ross Valory (bass).
It’s unclear if the band is working on any new material. Their last record, Eclipse, was released in 2011 and only the second to feature vocals from Pineda.
The Pretenders, on the other hand, are still fronted by rock legend Chrissie Hynde, with longtime drummer and co-founder Martin Chambers.
Nick Wilkinson (bass), James Walbourne (lead guitar), Eric Heywood (guitar) and Carwyn Ellis (keyboard) round out the Back on the Chain Gang group’s lineup.
The band’s last album, Alone, was released in 2016. It’s unclear if they are working on new music, however their website is currently under maintenance, suggesting something new may be on the way.
