Journey Tribute Band One of Headline Acts to Perform at 2020 Monterey County Fair, Sept. 3-7

Journey Revisited, a band celebrating the music of San Francisco’s iconic Journey, will be one of the headliners at the 84th annual Monterey County Fair.

Monterey, CA, April 05, 2020 — Journey Revisited, a band celebrating the music of San Francisco’s iconic Journey, will be one of the headliners at the 84th annual Monterey County Fair, which will be held Sept. 3-7, 2020, at the Monterey County Fair & Event Center.

Journey Revisited will 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4, 2020, on the Payton Stage at the Fair. All live music is free with fair admission. A full schedule of entertainment will be released early this summer.

Journey Revisited is a professional group of musicians who are inspired by the music of Journey and bring "national act" experience to every stage. The band will play all the top hits, with no rare B-sides or fillers. Each song is recreated note for note and performed in the original keys without pre-recorded backing tracks. What Journey fans remember hearing on the radio or albums is what they will get from Journey Revisited.

Fans should expect to hear chart-topping hits such as Lights, Don't Stop Believing, Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin', Anyway You Want It, Feeling That Way, Who's Crying Now, Only the Young, and Oh Sherrie.

The band has booked 30-plus shows a year consistently since 2011 throughout the west coast, playing fairs, casinos, festivals, corporate events, and private parties. Journey Revisited is a concert experience, not your typical bar cover band.
