Foreigner and Cheap Trick Team Up for a 2017 Tour

Foreigner and Cheap Trick 2017 Tour

Foreigner will be celebrating their 40th anniversary by hitting the road with Cheap Trick and Jason Bonham. The worldwide tour will kick off on July 11, 2017 in Syracuse, New York, stopping in cities including Nashville, Austin, and San Diego before finishing the tour in Auburn, Washington. Foreigner will be sharing the stage with Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Cheap Trick who are also celebrating the 40th anniversary of their debut album. Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Experience will be part of the tour for all but 10 dates.

Tickets are set to go on sale on January 13, 2017 via LiveNation.com.

“I never could have imagined when I set out to create Foreigner forty years ago, that we’d still be touring around the world and performing the music we love all these years later,” stated founding member and lead guitarist Mick Jones. “I can’t express the gratitude I feel when fans share stories of how our songs have been woven into their milestones and memories over the years. This summer we are going to celebrate these songs, and I can’t imagine a better group of friends to share this monumental tour with, than Cheap Trick and Jason Bonham who are sure to make it a true tribute to the everlasting power of rock and roll.”

“I was thrilled to hear Mick Jones wanted me to be involved in celebrating 40 years of Foreigner. I spent 3 years as their drummer and had a great time,” said Jason Bonham. “Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Experience show will hit home run after home run with these timeless classics done to perfection. JBLZE started 7 years ago as a way to show my appreciation not only to my dad and the music of Led Zeppelin, but also to the fans themselves. With the amazing Cheap Trick along with the one and only Foreigner this is show not to be missed.”

Foreigner – Mick Jones (lead guitar), Kelly Hansen (lead vocals), Jeff Pilson (bass, vocals), Tom Gimbel (rhythm guitar, sax, vocals), Michael Bluestein (keyboards), Bruce Watson (guitar) and Chris Frazier (drums) – will also be recognizing their four decades as a group with an anniversary album titled Forty Hits From Forty Years featuring 40 of the band’s original hits and current songs.
