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.

FOREIGNER totally rocked out at Casino Niagara, what an awesome concert!!!!
This was a Super show (SOLD OUT !) Concert !!!!!! You could not get a better concert ! We were Rocked in Niagara Falls Ontario Fallsveiw !!! Super Duper
It was a surreal moment when the band started playing. The music was what I heard on the CDs many times but here they were and the songs were for real. Hit after hit the band rocked on. What a great evening! Totally loved Foreigner.
What a show ! Just great, Kelly Hansens voice is right on the money, sounded like vintage Foreigner and what a showman. Mick Jones snow white hair didn't fool anyone, he can still rock a Les Paul guitar. Would recommend seeing these guys for sure. Hope they become regulars to Fallsview like Styx.
After reading the newspaper a week before the concert and learning that there was only a couple original members of the band that would be performing, I wasn't looking forward to going. Less than halfway through the first song ( Double Vision ) I understood why Kelly Hanson was selected for lead singer. His vocals were right on the money. Even songs off their new CD were great. It was a fantastic ride down memory lane!!
Foreinger was great. Sounded like the original lead singer. Mick Jones still has it for an old guy.
The concert was amazing. From start to finish the band went full out. Kelly has so much energy, I thought he was alot younger then his actual age. and Mick sure can play that guitar.
Foreigner fans for years, my husband and I finally got a chance to see the band for the first time. We definitely were not disappointed with the performance and heard all our favourites. Mick Jones still rocks and the new lead singer did an awesome job. Would love to see them again.
Fantastic concert! High energy and they played all their hits plus some new ones.Very engaging with the audience and wished we had had tickets for the next night as well! Brought back so many memories! Thank you for a great night!
I can't believe how great this band is and even with the new members. Kenny was an awesome singer and he went into the audience to shake hands with people and he was so full of energy. He didn't stop all 1.5 hrs. They had an awesome anchor too with JUKE BOX HERO.
We enjoyed the Foreigner concert at Casino Rama immensely. Good selection of music of old favourites as well as introducing some new songs from their newest CD. The lead singer was especially very funny and entertaining. Really got the crowd going! The concert was better than we expected and also lasted longer. Sure got our money's worth.
My husband and I went up with 7 other fans 3 of them in their 20's , we all were wowed by the singer, lead guitarist actually all of them, we had a great time and look forward to seeing them again
The show was amazing. They performed all their greatest hists such as "cold as ice", "hot-blooded", "waiting for a girl like you", "urgent", "I want to know what love is", etc... This was my first time seeing Foreigner live and they definitely didn't disappoint. I highly recommend their show. Way to go guys!!!
The concert was better than I expected. The new singer is amazing. They are as good as the originals.
i had a great time and would reccommend any concert to casino rama. its an amazing venue. thanks foreigner !
Nothing like nosalgia Thanks for taking me back in time.
Mick Taylor was there and he is the man. He has put together a team that truly delivers the real Foreigner. Am a big fan, saw them in the 70's have all the LP's (that says it all!) and let me tell you, Foreigner was in da house!!
An overall good show. Only played one of their new tunes. Everybody was there to hear the oldies, and they delivered. Rocked for an hour and a half.
We have been to many shows at Casino Rama and Fallsview Casino. We went to see Foreigner expecting a so, so performance and were blown away by how good they were. We had an excellent time.
The whole show was so well put together and so mch fun. All the musicians were excellent. I have always loved the group and even though, Mike Jones is the only original, the others make the music real. I hope they continue to hit the top. Definitely will recomend the show and I will buy all the CDs.
