Before the Arizona Cardinals host the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football, multi-platinum rock band Journey will perform the national anthem.
The band announced the news on Facebook:
Neal Schon, who has been with the band since its inception in 1973, will be on lead guitar, joined by keyboardist Jonathan Cain, who has been with the band since 1980, and Arnel Pineda, who took over as lead vocalist in 2007. Drummer Deen Castronovo and bassist Ross Valory won’t be part of the performance.
Famous, of course, for “Don’t Stop Believin’,” the iconic band has produced eighteen Top-40 singles and 14 studio albums, six of which have reached Top-10 status. Their greatest hits album hit extremely rarefied air with diamond status in 2011, and in 2010, VH1 named the band No. 96 on a list of 100 greatest artists of all-time.
So yeah, Journey is pretty qualified for this gig.
Kickoff for the game is at 8:30 p.m. ET on Monday night, while the band is scheduled to start its performance around 8:22 p.m. ET. Click here for how to watch it live online:
