Foreigner

Open-air shows in June and July celebrate half a century of rock history.

FOREIGNER celebrate their 50th anniversary as a band in 2026 with an exclusive 50TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR and return to Germany for eight selected open-air shows. The tour offers a look back at five decades of rock history and brings together the greatest anthems of one of the most successful classic rock bands of all time.

With 10 multi-platinum albums, 16 top 30 hits and over 80 million records sold, FOREIGNER are one of the most popular rock acts in the world. Songs such as Cold As Ice, Juke Box Hero, Urgent, Waiting for a Girl Like You and the worldwide hit I Want To Know What Love Is are part of the genre's permanent repertoire and an integral part of the international rock legacy. In 2024, FOREIGNER was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - another milestone in the band's career.

The setlist for the 50TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR spans an arc from the early successes of the 70s to the legendary album 4, which stayed at number 1 in the Billboard charts longer than any other album in the history of Atlantic Records, to more recent successes and classics. The live energy of the current line-up - with Luis Maldonado as the new lead singer, Jeff Pilson (bass), Michael Bluestein (keyboards), Bruce Watson (guitar) and Chris Frazier (drums) - ensures a concert experience that will be celebrated on every continent. From fall 2025, Maldonado will take over the role of frontman from Kelly Hansen, who is retiring after two decades as the voice of the band and completing his final tour.

The fact that FOREIGNER are still at the top of their game after five decades is proven not only by over 15 million audio and video streams per week, but also by recent chart successes and viral uses in hit series such as Stranger Things, Wednesday, Euphoria and films such as The Eternals, Good Boys and Happy Gilmore 2.

An open-air highlight that brings the soundtrack of entire generations to the stage - impressive, energetic and timeless.
