Foreigner is set to honor its illustrious 50-year history with a unique series of performances in Las Vegas in March 2026. Taking center stage at The Venetian Theatre, the legendary rock band will deliver five unforgettable shows from March 6 to March 14. These performances stand out not only due to the occasion but also because they are orchestrally enhanced, featuring arrangements led by Dave Eggar, a Juilliard-trained music virtuoso. Eggar has previously demonstrated his musical prowess with some of the industry's biggest names, including Coldplay and Beyonce. Accompanying him will be Chuck Palmer, an accomplished conductor and arranger, who will co-lead the orchestra’s direction. The orchestra, which comprises 20 members, is sure to give Foreigner's classic hits an electrifying new dimension.

This upcoming residency is radically special, as it fuses the rock and roll vigor Foreigner is known for with the timeless sophistication of orchestral music. Fans can expect to hear Foreigner’s all-time hits like “I Want to Know What Love Is,” “Hot Blooded,” and “Cold As Ice” through a refined symphonic lens—a testament to the band’s versatility and timeless appeal. The Venetian Theatre and the broader resort provide an iconic backdrop, enhancing the grandeur of this fitting celebration of Foreigner's impressive contributions to music over five decades. Tickets for these compelling Las Vegas shows will be made available to the general public on April 25, 2025. Foreigner’s Las Vegas residency promises to be a monumental event both for dedicated fans and the rock genre broadly.

Despite being primarily based in the United States for the near future due to lead singer Kelly Hansen's residency issues, the band doesn't seem to be slowing down. Foreigner's impressive lineup for these Las Vegas performances includes original members Lou Gramm, Rick Wills, and Dennis Elliott, who are expected to make appearances. This choice infuses the shows with a deeper sense of nostalgia and authenticity, celebrating not just the band’s music but also its rich history and legacy.

Alongside the Las Vegas events, Foreigner is also embarking on tours that include stops in South America and Canada. The Canadian leg of the tour, featuring a total of 13 cities, launches on October 21, 2025, in St. John’s, Newfoundland, and wraps up in Kelowna, British Columbia, on November 7. Geordie Brown will also join the band during these Canadian dates, adding a local celebrity nod as the Nova Scotian artist steps in for performances in his home region. Moreover, Luis Maldonado, who has adapted some of Foreigner’s music into Spanish, will be delighting fans in Latin America with his vocal talent.
