Journey, Billy Idol and Toto are coming to Tampa this spring

Todd Fixler

Sit your parents down before telling them, but Journey is teaming up with Billy Idol and Toto for a Tampa concert in spring 2022.

Tickets to see Journey with Billy Idol and Toto play Amalie Area on April 20 at 7:30 p.m. go on sale to the public this Friday, Nov. 19 at 10 a.m. and cost $45.75-$125.75. Various presales start as early as Tuesday, Nov. 16.

The show is especially notable as it finds Idol back in arenas after playing intimate local gigs at Clearwater’s Capitol Theatre (the iconic rocker played Tampa’s now-shuttered jai alai fronton in the ‘80s), and pairs Toto with two other classic-rock favorites. Journey—still fronted by Filipino karaoke-YouTube-star-turned-classic-rock-vocalist Arnel Pineda—Last played Amalie in 2018 on a co-headlining tour with Def Leppard.
