History

Historical Context

In 1999 the Rolling Stones’ Bridges to Babylon/No Security Tour earned $88.5 million from 40 shows, building on the $320 million Voodoo Lounge Tour that set a world-record in the mid-1990s. That model of massive, revenue-driven touring has become a template for legacy acts, and Journey’s 2026 Final Frontier Tour, adding 40 dates and VIP packages, follows the same high-gross strategy.
