Don't Stop Believing it's Journey, Whitesnake, and Thunder together

Rock heavyweights Journey and Whitesnake have announced a tour of the UK with special guests Thunder. The trio are set to appear onstage together for the first time ever in May 2013, taking in eight dates across the UK.

Formed in 1973 American rockers Journey whose hits include 'Who's Crying Now', 'Don't Stop Believing', and 'Open Arms' these days consist of 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, "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 tour are Whitesnake, founded and formed by Deep Purple singer David Coverdale in 1978, the band will be airring hits wincluding 'Here I Go Again', 'Is This Love' and 'Still Of The Night'. 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 say, "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..."

Special guests on the tour are Thunder who join them on the UK dates. In 2009 the band split, only to return in 2011, and have been lured back on to the stage for next year's tour with Journey and Whitesnake. Singer Danny Bowes says, "We'd already discussed possibly doing some shows next year, so this is perfect, and it's a great bill, like they used to be back in the day, it'll be a brilliant night out."
