Foreigner will mark their 50th band anniversary in 2026 with a special 50th Anniversary Tour, celebrating one of the most successful legacies in classic rock history. Buy tickets / pre-sale here.
Over the past five decades, Foreigner have released 10 multi-platinum albums, scored 16 Top 30 hits, and sold more than 80 million records worldwide. Their iconic anthems, including Cold As Ice, Juke Box Hero, Urgent, Waiting for a Girl Like You, and the global hit I Want To Know What Love Is, remain cornerstones of rock music. In 2024, the band’s influence and impact were recognized with induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
The anniversary setlist will take fans on a journey from Foreigner’s early chart-toppers in the 1970s, through their landmark Album 4 — which spent more time at No. 1 on the Billboard charts than any other release in Atlantic Records’ history — to more recent hits and enduring classics.
The tour also marks a new chapter for the group as Luis Maldonado moves from guitar to lead vocals in fall 2025, stepping in as frontman following Kelly Hansen’s retirement after two decades as the band’s voice. He joins longtime members Jeff Pilson (bass), Michael Bluestein (keyboards), Bruce Watson (guitar), and Chris Frazier (drums) to deliver the high-energy performances Foreigner are celebrated for across the globe.
Even after 50 years, the band continues to resonate with new generations. Foreigner averages more than 15 million audio and video streams per week, and their songs have recently been featured in hit series like Stranger Things, Wednesday, and Euphoria, as well as blockbuster films including The Eternals, Good Boys, and Happy Gilmore 2.
The 50th Anniversary Tour promises to be a career-spanning celebration, bringing the soundtrack of generations to life in a powerful, timeless live experience.
Preferred ticket access will be available to UK Mastercard cardholders on Friday, September 5 at 10 am via priceless.com/music.
