Journey have confirmed a rare live show in Toronto on Tuesday, August 9th at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre. Tickets are on sale this Friday, April 8th at 10 AM at all Ticketmaster outlets.

Journey's tour is in support of Eclipse, due out in Europe on May 27th via Frontiers Records (the album will be released in the US and Canada on May 24th, exclusively at Walmart).

Eclipse is Journey’s fifteenth studio album and shows the band at the peak of their creative juices, truly regenerated after the blistering success of their last studio album, Revelation.

Following the release of Eclipse, Journey will launch the Eclipse Tour, which will kick off with a 7-date arena tour in the UK/Eire, together with STYX and FOREIGNER and will then hit Germany, Switzerland, Benelux, Scandinavia, France and – for the first time ever – Italy.

“I’m in love with this record, which I haven’t said about one of our albums for a long time,” says founding member and lead guitarist, Neal Schon. “It’s a rock record and it sounds amazing.”

Commenting on the upcoming tour, Schon continued, “We’ve got a lot of hits to play and there’s plenty of time to do some new stuff too, so we’re gonna mix it up. We haven’t toured with Foreigner for over 10 years, so we’re really looking forward to this run.”

The new album release will be preceded by the digital release of the single, 'City Of Hope', on April 4th.

Eclipse will include the following tracks:

'City Of Hope'

'Edge Of The Moment'

'Chain Of Love'

'Tantra'

'Anything Is Possible'

'Resonate'

'She’s A Mystery'

'Human Feel'
