ST PAUL, Minn. — More and more bands are getting back on the road as COVID restrictions relax from coast to coast. Three legendary acts will give the Twin Cities a serious blast of 80s arena rock this spring when they come to St. Paul and the Xcel Energy Center.
Journey's "Freedom Tour 2022" will set down at the X Monday, March 14, with opening act Billy Idol. It's one of 40 tour stops for the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, who will warm up by playing a residency at the Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas Dec. 1 - 11.
Tickets for the St. Paul show go on sale to the general public Nov. 19 at 10 a.m. via the Ticketmaster website. VIP and Citi cardholder sales begin Nov. 16. No word yet on ticket prices.
Since the band formed in San Francisco back in 1973, Journey has notched 19 Top-40 singles and sold nearly 100 million albums worldwide. Their recording of "Don't Stop Believing" has been streamed over one billion times (yes, that's billion).
Billy Idol hard-rocking persona and snarling vocal style made him an 80s favorite, with hits like "White Wedding," "Rebel Yell" and "Dancing with Myself."
In another music announcement, Twin Cities radio station 93X has announced the lineup for its Twin City Takeover show on May 7 at Target Center. Godsmack will headline, with Three Days Grace, Asking Alexandria, Wage War and Lillith Czar warming up.
Tickets are now on sale and can be accessed through TargetCenter.com. They run from $19.93 to $88.
