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.

I have been to alot of Rock N Roll Concerts in my time, but Foreigner was able to release all the Demons, from going to Concerts, where they just didn't play your Favorites. Foreigner played every BIG HIT IMAGINABLE. I saw Steely Dan a couple of months ago at the Carr Center. They put on a great show, but lacked singing the Headliner Songs like Reeling in the Years and Rikki dont lose that number and Do it again. Foreigner started with Double Vision and just Rocked out the House of Blues all Night Long. And Stephen Tyler Junior filled in perfectly for Gramm. Also got the Bass Guitarist from Dokken, great compliment to all the old time Hard Rock Songs. I have to tie it with Bad Company in 2000 in Houston, that good. The Drummer was just Outstanding in every way Possible. The most Explosive Hard and Soft Rock Concert, that fullfilled all my Rock N Roll Fantasies. The End--RB
These guys treated us like friends that invited us to a jam session in their studio! We were 10 feet away from the band .They were very funny, gracious They sang all the old classics and some new stuff they are working on. They included the crowd in alot . This is the kind of music that deserves to be called ROCK!, It was great to see young adults there and "getting " what the 80's rockers were all about. The House of Blues was a great place the setting was perfect, nothing fancy just five artist up there doing their thing!
This was an amazing event. Good music and a ton of energy. Once you stood up you never sat back down. The event, with a local band to start things off, lasted from 6pm until a little after 11pm.
I was impressed with the performance. The music was awesome. The show was entertaining. The singing was right on track. I couldn't stay in my seat.
One of the best concerts I have attended in years. The IP Casino was ROCKIN.....and sold out. During the ENCORE song "HOT BLOODED" EVERYONE was on their feet and giving Foreigner a standing ovation. It was a great performance and I would go see them tomorrow if I could. THANKS for a GREAT SHOW.......P.S. My son bought me these tickets to celebrate my 53rd birthday. He also enjoyed the show.......What a great night.
Foreigner still rocks. They played a great show with all of the hits you want to hear, plus a few new tunes sprinkled in.
There was not a bad seat in the house when this band took stage. The band played all of our favorites and kept us on our feet the entire show. The sound was incredible and the performance was unforgettable. You must try to make this show if you have a chance. This Foriegner show was over the top. Thumbs up to all of the band.
This concert was wonderful, not a bad moment. Very interactive with the audience.
Wow, what a show. Played all the right songs at the right time. Great crowd interaction and these guys were really on top of the game.
Wow- Awesome Show!! Can't wait for their next visit to the Gulf Coast!
I was my birthday and my fiance and I along with two of our best friends decided we wanted to go to Biloxi. We purchased tickets to the show and we had a blast. The show was awesome. The hotel was very nice.
Saw Foreigner last night at the House of Blues, Orlando, one of the best show I have seen theis year!! They were Perfect, everybody was Rockin and Singin!! Hope they come back real soon ;-)
We've been to the House of Blues before and so felt it was a perfect venue to take our 12 year old son to his first concert because of the closeness you are to the band. We are all big Foreigner fans and couldn't believe it has been about 30 years since I last saw them on their "Jukebox Heroe" tour back "in the day". All i can say is "WOW" Awesome show!!! The band sounded great and really put on a great show!! Our son was so psyched about it and couldn't wait to wear his "Foreinger - Urgent" T-shirt to school today. We will talk about this show for a LONG time and will definitely see Foreigner when they come back through. I also think it is probably a great experience for the band to have all the audience participation and energy in the House of Blues type setting.
The performance was a 10 ! We had the best time ever at a concert!!
The band was fantastic and put on a great show. They played all the favorites plus something new. Their energy was totally contagious and they really interacted well with the audience! I would definitely go see them again!
Fantastic. It really was a great time. The Band nailed the music and rocked the house! LOVED IT!
I though the concert for AWESOME. The Foreigner did a great preformce, I would go back in a heart beat.
Foreigner was incredible! They are as good now, if not better, than they were in the 70's and 80's. The are truly great entertainers...but most of all they are still incredibly talented. The new lead singer may be better than the original (Lou).
Better than ever. This concert was wonderful. Like a flash from the past.
