JOURNEY SCHEDULED TO OPEN VIRTUAL WORLD IN SECOND LIFE

January 25, 2008 -- On February 1, multi-Platinum rockers Journey will release
their new Virtual Island in Second Life. A grand opening party is planned inside
Second Life at the "Journey Rock Band" sim and will feature a meet and greet
with band members. Live DJs will be spinning many of Journey’s classic hits,
recorded studio and live performances, as well as lots of other great music for
fans to party to! The grand opening party is scheduled to start at 10:00am
ET/PT. The Journey Island region in Second Life is named “Journey Rock Band”.

Journey has long been known for innovations in stage sets, so creating a Second
Life Island for fans to enjoy was an easy decision. The Island features
dedicated areas for each album along with audio and video presentations. There
are also two venues on the island, the Escape Club and the Captured
Amphitheater, where live SL events can be held.

Journey’s newly redesigned website, http://www.journeymusic.com, will be
re-launch on or around January 29. It will feature band history, tour
information, photos and a new forum.

Journey is currently working on a new album with legendary producer Kevin
Shirley, which they hope to release by spring/summer 2008. Their 2008 world
tour begins in Santiago, Chile mid-February. More tour dates will be announced
soon.

The Journey Island was built by Industrial-Design.com, Journey’s long time web
developer and features work by SL builders Farrokh Vavoom, Argus Collingwood,
Adrian Harbinger and Jocelyn Sands.
