Better stop believin' that Journey is coming to St. Paul this year. The Rock Hall of Famers canceled their 2020 tour, including a June 7 show at Xcel Energy Center with the Pretenders.

It's no surprise that Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain and company are no longer touring because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The group did not reschedule the dates.

Refunds are available, and since this is a Live Nation-promoted concert, so is the option of 150% credit with the bonus of Live Nation donating the number of tickets you purchased to frontline healthcare workers.

"Having seen what the world has endured during the last 45 days, and not knowing what the rest of this year or 2021 will bring, we knew the right thing to do was to make sure our fans' health was not put in jeopardy and to provide immediate access to refund options given the unexpected events caused by this terrible virus," Journey said in a statement on Monday. "We will see everyone again as soon as it is safe to tour, and we will share that news as it becomes available. In the meantime, please Don't Stop Believin' in the wonder of life and in each other."
