LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) — Foreigner announced plans for what is being billed as the band’s final Farewell Tour.
Produced by Live Nation, the first leg of the tour is scheduled to kick off at Atlanta’s Ameris Bank Amphitheatre on July 26th with dates throughout the summer before wrapping at the PNC Bank Arts Center on September 3rd.
For the tour, Foreigner will perform more than 20 of their chart-topping hits including “I Want To Know What Love Is”, “Cold As Ice,” “Hot Blooded,” “Juke Box Hero,” “Urgent,” and more.
“The time has come. We have more or less lived our lives on the road for almost eighteen years. We have always strived to give you our best and we intend to finish this the same way. Foreigner has a brilliant and increasingly demanding catalogue of songs to sing and I refuse to give them less than they deserve. So, we’re going to finish strong. I want to make it very clear how grateful and appreciative we are to our audiences all over the world who have supported this band. I’m sure there may be occasions when we’ll do some special appearances, but I think the time is coming for us to live off the road. Thank you all so much!” said Foreigner frontman Kelly Hansen.
Additionally, ’80s hitmakers Loverboy will provide support on the first leg of the tour.
“It’s not very often you get a chance to play on the same stage as one of your all-time favorite bands…and how many hit songs can you play on the same stage every night of a 2023 Summer tour?….. it’s going to be amazing…. I can’t wait.” Said Mike Reno of Loverboy.
For the tour, Foreigner will continue its long-running partnership with the Grammy Museum Foundation to invite choirs to open the show with a live a cappella ‘Pitch Perfect’ performance of Classic Rock songs. For the tour, Foreigner will partner with radio outlets across the U.S. to create a contest for local choirs to compete to win donations to their music program with winning choir will be selected at each show, to receive a grand prize of new musical equipment.
