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.

What a way to say farewell. Foreigner has so many hits it's hard to pick a favorite. I'm sad, for me, they are retiring, but happy for them. I will miss my Foreigner shows.
I loved the concert. I loved all songs they did and the energy they brought. There were moments in the middle when the talked too much. But I really enjoyed having them bring students in the stage to sing with them. That was a really cool experience for everyone.
I came down with the flu. I missed it BUMMER! Wife went with a friend and said it was great.
Typically when you go to a live concert they just don’t sound as good. However, Foreigner nailed it. Very entertaining and the sound was great took me back to my youth. Loved it!!!❤️❤️
We had very good seats, in a great spot. The show started on time. The music was great. They sound wonderful live. Much better than just playing a record or cd. Great to see them and not just listen to them. My wife and son and daughter loved the show. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
Even though the venue was smaller, it was comfortable and easy to find our seats. This was the second time seeing Foreigner in concert. The first time was earlier in the year in Las Vegas. We enjoyed it so much that when we heard that they were coming to our city, we were excited to see them perform again. We took our 30-year-old kids, who also enjoyed the concert.
Foreigner's music and singing was fantastic. Kelly has a strong voice that was outstanding for the many outstanding hits that were played. I didn't want the night to end!
This Foreigner concert was everything we hoped it would be. One of our favorite rock groups of the 70-80's, they did not disappoint!
Great venue at Hero Arena Foreigner was awesome played well
