With 10 multi-platinum albums and 16 Top 30 hits, FOREIGNER is universally hailed as one of the most popular rock acts in the world with a formidable musical arsenal that continues to propel sold-out tours and album sales, now exceeding 80 million.
Responsible for some of rock and roll's most enduring anthems including "Juke Box Hero," "Cold As Ice," "Hot Blooded," "Waiting For A Girl Like You," "Feels Like The First Time," "Urgent," "Head Games," "Say You Will," "Dirty White Boy," "Long, Long Way From Home" and the worldwide #1 hit, "I Want To Know What Love Is," FOREIGNER still rocks the charts more than 40 years into the game with massive airplay and continued Billboard Top 200 album success. Audio and video streams of FOREIGNER's hits are approaching 15 million per week.
With more Top 10 songs than Journey and as many as Fleetwood Mac, FOREIGNER also features strongly in every category in Billboard's "Greatest of All Time" listing. At times, the band's weekly catalog sales have eclipsed those of Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, the Rolling Stones, the Who, Def Leppard, Van Halen, Aerosmith, and most of their Classic Rock peers (Source:MusiConnect). FOREIGNER's catalog sales were recently celebrated in Business Insider as hitting the Top 40 among the Best Selling Music Artists of All Time.
FOREIGNER's founder is Songwriters Hall of Fame member Mick Jones, a visionary maestro whose stylistic songwriting, indelible guitar hooks, and multi-layered talents continue to escalate FOREIGNER's influence and guide the band to new horizons. Jones reformed the band after a 2002 hiatus and selected lead singer Kelly Hansen to help write an inspired new chapter in the history of FOREIGNER. One of rock's greatest showmen, Hansen is among the most respected, consummate professionals in rock and roll. With a 40-year career that spans almost every area of music, from the role of lead vocalist to producing and engineering, Hansen has led FOREIGNER into the digital age while inspiring a whole new generation of fans.
FOREIGNER's lineup also includes noted Dokken bassist Jeff Pilson, Michael Bluestein on keyboards, guitarist Bruce Watson, Chris Frazier on drums and guitarist Luis Carlos Maldonado. An unprecedented new level of energy led the group to a re-emergence of astounding music that speaks to FOREIGNER's enduring popularity.
FOREIGNER recently announced the beginning of their Farewell Tour on national television. The tour will commence on July 6th, 2023 in Atlanta, GA and is expected to take two years or so to complete. The goal is to visit all the cities where the band has played since its reformation in 2004.

It was a great 50th birthday gift for my wife and I got to enjoy it with her
The concert was in the way I remember going in the 70’ The musicians, the pieces played, the sound, the atmosphere fit everything a concert should be! Bravo Kelly Hansen!
Loverboy and Foreigner rocked the night. Both bands didn't play a couple of their hits. Wasn't too impressed with Foreigner playing a couple songs accoustic.
Foreigner / Loverboy put on an excellent show. Played all the songs I expected to hear. Sound was great and effects were well done.
I was blown away at the vocals and the idea that they were leaving their last tour at the top of their game. I also like the fact they really sing !!! They say old school. I say keep it real.. Music of the 70s was a great generation and Foreigner was part of that...Great night..
amazing concert...thanks for the more memories guys
this band just doesn't have the fire without guitarist mick jones.vocals were off key to the point we werent even sure some times what song they were singing to?the backing harmony tracks were at many times of pitch with the lead vocals.the performance in toronto was in our opinion sluggish, lagging,and slow temped beat made the hit songs feel tired and routine.we always loved to here foreigner but there lack off kick ass vibe was eminent tonite.im sure most newbies were totally taken in as the crowd cheered the band on regardless of the off pitch vocals that didnt belong to the song.
While they may not be the original band members, they’re committed to the fan base, and give 100%. Very solid show all around, and well worth seeing. Loverboy was excellent as well - they may not look like they did in the 80’s but does anyone? 😀
Foreigner absolutely rocked. The band was tight and really focused on delivering a great show by fully connecting with the audience. I have been to hundreds of concerts over the years and this falls into the top 10 easily. Definitely a band that wants to give back to its fans and is not just go through the motions.
Band was very tight musically. My only complaints would be that the band played two songs in the middle of the set that nobody seem to know, this is a farewell tour, play the songs that people know, the Setlist consisted of 11 songs +2 encore songs. I was not a fan of the five minute drum solo or the keyboard solo. It would've been nice for the band to give a tribute to Mick Jones who would've been there except he is battling some health issues right now.
Fantastic show all around - Went with my wife and kids that are listening to music from the past and from the 80ties and on. The kids had great seats in the 300 level and loved the show - Mom and dad where chilling on the grass - Thank you weather man for keeping everything dry and warm - Great night had by all - Really great to see foreigner one last time they did not disappoint.
The bands were great. The sound was good. The vendors friendly....but.....you Changed your smoking policy in a corner away from everyone ( where the un-official smoking area ALWAYS WAS ) & set up a smoking area at the entrance where it makes NO sense to anyone but you. You went from 1 of the best Venues in the City to very very average. Congrats to whoever made that call.
Loved it !!!!!! And sad we’ll never see them in concert again 😞😞😞😞
This was an awesome concert of hit music. The only negative I can say, and it was replaced by a great performance of a keyboard/guitar type instrument, is the lack of the saxophone in Urgent.
Best ever concert. Very helpful staff. Loved every minute of it ❤️
Good Times, Great Energy, Great Atmosphere, Great People - Overall Very Entertaining Concert
Both Loverboy and Foreigner sounded awesome. Foreigner kicked some serious butt. So much energy and even though no original members are playing, they sounded just like them, it was great!
And his wife, who insisted on standing up thru the whole show and blocking many of us from watching. This wasn't at the front; it was section 402.
Enjoyed the memorable evening with my sister! Lover boy was great! Foreigner was unbelievable for their farewell concert! Loved every minute of it! Rock’n roll! Keep on rocking!!!!
I didn’t think I would enjoy Foreigner that much. Wow, was I in for a surprise! They were amazing and gave us a great show! I’m glad I got to see them on this Farewell Tour.
