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.

There is only one remaining member from the original band. Lead singer is not as good as the original. Sound quality was not that great. Outdoor concert experience was good and the weather was wonderful. Overall a good night out but not one of the best concerts st that venue.
While I enjoyed Lover Boy with Mike Reno (Original Member). Reno and Lover Boy get FIVE STARS *! The same can not be said for Foreigner. Don't get me wrong the musicians are excellent and they played the songs great. There was not ONE ORIGINAL member from the band not even Mick Jones. As far as I was concerned what I saw was an extremely great cover band nothing more. How can they do a farewell tour with no original members not even one. Another thing that bothered me was how they took credit for songs they had no part in writing nor recording. Had they said this is a story that Mick told me or Lou talked great. Again don't get me wrong they played great and put on a show. But to me they are a cover band that's it.
So good!!!! It was a roller-coaster of emotions and definitely worth to see them live!
it was a lot better than I thought it would be. Great show and great value for the price of the tickets, which is rare these days.
This was an experience had and never will be forgotten. I selected the VIP onstage. Unfortunately, there was a Q&A and picture opportunity that I arrived too late for because of working and traffic. That part sucked. But we were onstage for the first 3 songs and our seats were great so got some amazing close-ups. I knew EVERY song and sang with them... what a RUSH!!
This farewell tour of Foreigner is an opportunity to relive all the hits you grew up with, if you’re of their generation. I love Loverboy as much as Foreigner, so this was a two for one ticket for me. Loverboy was excellent, put on a great show of their hits, sounded very good, and were fun to see as they’ve aged, but are still the same guys. Mike Reno’ signature bandana in place, he sang from their first hit, The Kid Is Hot Tonite, to the real rock song Lucky Ones, to the ballad from Top Gun. Foreigner was fabulous, doing a great job in their final tour, they deserve to relax. They were full of energy from start to finish, Kelly Hansen sounds as good as he always has. The true rock experience was a thrill, with lots of theatrics during Juke Box Hero and flames in Hot Blooded. My favourite song, the lesser known, Girl on the Moon, the B side of the Urgent 45 for anyone who remembers, being played was an incredible moment, as it was sung acoustically. A night to cherish, I’m a lucky one to get to see these guys for a final time.
Awesome show Brought back lots of memories. Incredible light show.
The whole concert was amazing. Both Loverboy & Foreigner!!! They sound like they did more than 40 years ago. It’s definitely a MUST see!!
Amazing!! Lover boy killed it and foreigner put the cheri on top. Both bands rocked Toronto as expected. Worth every penny!
Venue was sold out at Budweiser stage, music was great; years have passed but they still sound great. grass seats gave us a gorgeous skyline view of the city too
I know, I know - Kelly Hansen is not Lou Gramm, but the latter, for well known health reasons, has been unable to perform for close to two decades now. These great songs deserve to be heard and brought to life in a concert setting. And these guys really rock. Kelly is a fantastic front man and the band is tight and lively. They really serve the fans and the staging was really impressive - not merely some “victory lap”. If you get a chance, go see this Farewell salute - a great set list and show. If they swing back in 2024, I am running back. Also, the Farewell vinyl for sale at the show is very worthwhile and the tour programme one of the best in recent memory. Really loved it, as did my son.
My Boyfriend and I saw foreigner at the Budweiser stage they totally rocked the night great show. The crowd sang along with all their classic popular songs. The band were very engaging with the crown. We had so much fun
This is my 5th Foreigner concert over the years and probably the best. Loverboy was such a great opening act to get the night started and being at the outdoor venue of Budweiser stage just made it that much better. Hopefully we can see them one more time before Foreigners farewell.
The final tour of Foreigner ... so happy I could see them for their last show here in Toronto and treat my brother too, as it was his birthday.. What a great night! They played all our favourites. It was Awesome!
Awesome concert! All bands were amazing and provided non stop entertainment! Thanks for sharing your music and creativity for my while life.
Had a great time. Both Loverboy and Foreigner are awesome. This is my first of three concert visits to the Budweiser Stage. Will be going to Boy George next week and 50 Cent in Sept
One of the better concerts I’ve been to. Had a great time singing along to all the songs
Had a great time at the Loverboy/Foreigner concert the other night! Other than having a few rather inebriated people by us, we all thoroughly enjoyed the concert. Those guys still have great pipes and can certainly belt out their hits!
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!
