The first Foreigner concerts of 2026 have been confirmed – and there’s a twist. These 10 new dates will pair the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees with an orchestra.
Five opening shows take place at the Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas. Foreigner will be working with a 20-piece group playing arrangements written by cello virtuoso Dave Eggar. Chick Palmer will serve as conductor. See the complete list of dates and venues below. Tickets are already on sale.
These aren’t Foreigner’s first orchestral shows. They memorably performed two sold-out concerts in 2017 in Lucerne, Switzerland; Foreigner with the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra & Chorus followed in 2018. Eggar wrote the original charts for these concerts with Foreigner co-founder Mick Jones. Eggar has performed, recorded and arranged for a number of legendary acts, including Paul Simon.

Foreigner is currently playing farewell shows with longtime singer Kelly Hansen through November. December dates will serve as an introduction for new frontman Luis Maldonado, who will be making his first major stateside appearances. The touring lineup is rounded out by bassist Jeff Pilson, guitarist Bruce Watson, keyboardist Michael Bluestein and drummer Chris Frazier.
In the meantime, they are expanding Foreigner’s only U.S. chart-topping album in advance of the group’s 50th anniversary. The super-deluxe edition of 1981’s six-times-platinum 4 returns on Sept. 12 as a 5CD/Blu-ray package with newly remastered stereo or ATMOS versions.
