• Journey Books Vegas Residency at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino's The Joint

    Journey is the next classic rock act to book a residency in Sin City. The "Don't Stop Believin'" rockers are scheduled to play nine dates at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino's The Joint in Las Vegas. They will be following in the footsteps of Kiss, Guns N' Roses and Mötley Crüe, all of which have played the venue in the last few years. Journey's residency will run from the end of April through May, Ultimate Classic Rock notes. "We are looking forward to bringing it to you in Las Vegas during our residency at The Joint," guitarist Neal Schon wrote in a statement. Tickets for the shows go on sale Jan. 16. Fans will be treated to classics like "Wheel in the Sky," "Any Way You Want It" and "Faithfully." "The Joint is known worldwide for bringing the biggest artists into an intimate musical playground," Hard Rock Hotel and Casino executive Chas Smith said. "We're excited to add Journey to our list of legendary resident acts that have performed at this venue." Journey rose to fame in the early 1980s behind the success of albums like "Departure," "Escape" and "Frontiers." Lead vocalist Steve Perry left the group in 1998. He was replaced by Steve Augeri, who played with the band for nearly 10 years and was dismissed for chronic vocal troubles. Journey found their current lead singer, Arnel Pineda, via YouTube. The vocalist has cut two records with the band in 2008 and 2011. "Journey is an iconic band and their songs resonate with music enthusiasts across the board," Bobby Reynolds of AEG Live said. "Fans will hear all of Journey's timeless hits at The Joint. We cannot wait to offer concertgoers this epic experience."
