Credit: Travis ShinnNot only will Journey be touring Asia in 2017, but the band will be touring with Asia too! Journey has lined up a series of 12 U.S. dates with the ’80s prog-rock supergroup in March and April that will follow on the heels of a February headlining trek of the Far East.

The joint stateside tour kicks off on March 15 in Yakima, Washington, and is plotted out through an April 4 concert in Dayton, Ohio.

Asia frontman John Wetton says his band “is honored to be asked to share the stage with Journey.” The singer/bassist, who has been battling cancer during the past year or so, adds, “On a personal note, this couldn’t have come at a better time for me; I remain determined and my road to a full recovery continues. I look forward to seeing everyone on the tour next year.”

In other news, Journey has announced a new nine-show Las Vegas residency at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino that will run from May 3 to May 20. Tickets for the Las Vegas performances and most of the concerts with Asia will go on sale to the general public starting Friday, December 9, at 10 a.m. local time.

Journey’s Asia trek gets underway February 1 in Osaka, Japan, and winds down with a February 19 in Taipei, Taiwan. The band will also play three shows in Hawaii in late February before returning to the mainland U.S.
