Diamond-certified album holder Journey has sold 80
million albums worldwide and has earned 19 Top 40 singles and 25 gold, platinum
and multi-platinum albums since its formation in 1973 in San Francisco. The
prestigious "Legend of Live Award" was presented to Journey at the
2011 Billboard Touring Awards to honor the band's contributions to live music
and the touring business and to acknowledge their commitment to fans and the
art of performing live. The band's 2011 World Tour was one of the band's most
successful tours ever, drawing nearly a million fans and ranked in the Top 15
Tours of the year. 2011 also marked the 30th anniversary of the band's seminal
anthem, "Don't Stop Believin'," the biggest selling song from the
20th century in iTunes history. In 2013, Journey toured four continents and
performed to more than half a million fans.
One of rock music's all-time
greats, the Steve Miller Band has sold more than 30 million records in a career
spanning more than 40 years. His trademark blues-rock sound has made him one of
the defining artists of classic rock radio. The 2013 touring season by the
Steve Miller Band follows four of the most busy, productive years in the long,
illustrious career of Steve Miller. He has released two albums in the past few
years including the number one blues album, Bingo, and its successor, Let Your
Hair Down - the first new Steve Miller Band in eighteen years. In 2010, Miller
went back to Europe for the first time in 25 years for a hugely successful
round of dates culminating in a sold-out Royal Albert Hall concert in London
that opened the door for the band to tour Europe twice in the past three years.
In demand around the world as well, they also launched a tour of Australia and
New Zealand in Spring 2013.
This is great. Thanks for the news.
