The San Francisco 49ers were triumphant over the Detroit Lions at Sunday’s NFC Championship Game, but thanks to the game’s halftime show performers, Journey, at least the Lions can go home with a good message in mind: “Don’t Stop Believin’”
The veterans rockers served as the halftime entertainment during Sunday’s game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, performing a four song-set that included “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart),” “Be Good To Yourself,” “Any Way You Want It,” and “Don’t Stop Believin’.”
Journey’s onstage lineup consisted of longtime members Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain, as well as vocalist Arnel Pineda, keyboardist Jason Derlatka, drummer Deen Castronovo, and bassist Todd Jensen. The band hails from San Francisco, making their appearance at the 49ers home stadium a fitting choice. In fact, in a nod to the home fans, Journey changed the lyrics of “Believin’” from “just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit” to “born and raised in San Francisco.”

Journey’s playoff appearances come ahead of their two upcoming tours: one with Toto, and another with Def Leppard. The Toto tour kicks off next month and runs through the end of April, with the Def Leppard tour set to begin in July. Check out Journey’s upcoming tour dates, and grab tickets here.
