Journey and Whitesnake UK Arena Tour May 2013

Journey and Whitesnake, with special guests Thunder, will appear onstage together for the first time ever taking in eight dates across the UK throughout May 2013

Journey, one of the most popular American rock bands of all time, are responsible for creating some of the best-known songs in modern music.

Over the years they have gained multiple accolades – including 19 Top 40 singles, 25 Gold and Platinum albums and the single Don’t Stop Believin' holding the #1 digital catalogue song in history.

In 2011, Journey drew nearly a million fans to their 2011 Eclipse World Tour which included a sold-out UK leg and ranked in the Top 15 Tours of the year. In the same year the band were awarded the prestigious "Legend of Live Award" at the Billboard Touring Awards in honour of the band’s significant and lasting contributions to live music and the touring business, and in acknowledgement of their commitment to the fans and the art of performing live.

Journey’s line-up features Neal Schon (guitars, backing vocals), Jonathan Cain (keyboards, backing vocals), Ross Valory (bass, backing vocals), Deen Castronovo (drums, percussion, backing vocals) and Arnel Pineda (lead vocals).

Journey’s Neal Schon said of the tour: "We’re looking forward to getting back to the UK and playing our best for you all. You guys are the very best, cheers and see you soon. We will be rocking!"

Co-headlining the 2013 UK tour are the legendary Whitesnake who carry a reputation as one of the world’s leading rock ’n’ roll bands. Founded and formed by Deep Purple singer David Coverdale, the band have earned multi-platinum albums and multiple top 10 hits worldwide, including 2 number 1 singles with Here I Go Again and Is This Love, and more recently with Still Of The Night.

Bombast, bravado, talent and passion have helped establish Whitesnake as the perennial platinum favourite they have become and they’re back with a vengeance in 2013, with plans to release a live DVD ahead of the tour as well as a double album. "Unfinished business," as Coverdale says slyly. "We all wanted the last tour to continue as we got closer to the end. After a year in the studio we're ready to rock on stage again. We’re coming back for more."

Harnessing Coverdale’s blues and soul roots and fuelled by incendiary guitarists Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach you have all the elements needed to shape the ‘Snake’s hard rock identity.
