Journey have cancelled their upcoming UK and Ireland tour. The run of dates was due to begin on October 30 at the Utilita Arena in Cardiff, Wales, with support from Cheap Trick. The news was broken in an email sent to ticketholders.
"Due to circumstances beyond the band's control, Journey's UK and Ireland tour is unfortunately cancelled,” the message read. “Refunds will be made from your point of purchase."
The cancellation arrives just days after keyboardist Jonathan Cain sued guitarist Neal Schon in the latest in an ongoing series of legal battles. In the dispute, detailed in court dockets filed in the state of Delaware on July 30, Cain petitions the court to appoint a third director of the pair's Freedom 2020 company so that matters related to alleged financial mismanagement on the part of Schon may be resolved.
"There’s always going to be bumps in the road,” Cain told Classic Rock in 2022. “No forty-year relationship is ever not going to have them."
Journey are currently on the road in the US with Def Leppard, and these dates remain unaffected. Tickets for Journey's upcoming shows in Japan, which precede the now-cancelled UK dates, are still on sale.
