The legendary rock band Journey is headed to Las Vegas for a nine-show residency in May 2017 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Ticket will go on sale at 10 a.m. Dec. 9 for the shows between May 3 and 20 inside of The Joint.

It will be the first time in the United States that Journey performs its 7th studio album "Escape" and the band's 8th album "Frontiers" in their entirety on select dates.

The band's first residence at the Hard Rock in 2015 sold out. The new shows will feature co-founders Neal Schon (lead guitarist) and Ross Valory (bass), longtime members Jonathan Cain (keyboardist) and Arnel Pineda (lead singer), and virtuoso drummer Steve Smith who returned to JOURNEY in 2016 after nearly 17 years since touring with the band.

Through persistence and raw talent, the band has reached rare heights by selling more than 15 million copies of its Greatest Hits album, earning a total of 19 Top 40 singles, receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and producing 25 Gold and Platinum albums. This year, the band has been nominated for one of the music industry’s top honors, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2017 induction. Since its formation in 1973, JOURNEY has kept the music alive with classic-rock radio airplay and a touring schedule unlike any other. TV series such as FOX’s “Glee” and HBO’s “The Sopranos” have also made the group’s song, “Don’t Stop Believin’,” a sensation decades after its release.Believin’,” a sensation decades after its release.
