Foreigner, the legendary rock band, has reached another major milestone in their career: induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. This honor marks a crowning achievement for the band, whose journey started in 1977. Known for timeless hits such as “Cold As Ice” and “I Want to Know What Love Is,” the band’s induction serves as a tribute to their enduring influence on rock music. The induction brings new energy as Foreigner celebrates the past while eyeing their future.

Initially announced as a farewell tour, Foreigner’s final curtain call is now extended due to overwhelming demand and their recent Rock Hall induction. This extension will give fans a chance to witness the band’s iconic performances, especially with original members joining in select cities. The tour includes stops across North America, hitting cities like Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and Vancouver. With tickets selling quickly, it’s clear that the band’s blend of nostalgia and timeless music continues to resonate with old and new audiences alike.
3. Rock Hall Celebration and Special Performances
The band kicked off its Rock Hall celebration with a surprise halftime performance during the Cleveland Browns vs. Cincinnati Bengals game, where they wowed fans with classics. Their Las Vegas residency at The Venetian will feature original band members, Rick Wills and Al Greenwood, who will perform alongside the current lineup. There are also talks of including Lou Gramm, the original lead singer, which would make this a nostalgic and emotional tour for die-hard fans.
4. A New Release: “Turning Back The Time”
Coinciding with their induction, Foreigner released a special career-spanning collection, Turning Back The Time, featuring both classics and a previously unreleased track from 1996.

5. A Bittersweet Farewell
While this extended farewell tour promises to be a grand celebration of Foreigner’s contribution to rock, it also signals the close of a chapter. As the band approaches its 50th anniversary in 2026, this tour allows both the band and its fans to reflect on their journey, filled with chart-topping hits and unforgettable live performances. For many, these concerts offer the last opportunity to experience the magic that has kept Foreigner at the forefront of rock for nearly five decades.
