Foreigner

Built around the songwriting skills and fiery guitar riffing of Mick Jones and the arena-filling vocals of Lou Gramm, Foreigner’s hooky style of AOR caught on in a big way in the late ’70s. With no signs of slowing down, Mick Jones and Kelly Hansen (who stepped in for Lou Gramm) are still touring and still rocking.

Foreigner continued to tour throughout the years, releasing the Acoustique album in 2011 and celebrating their 40th anniversary in 2017 with the aptly titled hits compilation 40. 2017 also saw them record a live performance in Switzerland alongside a 58-piece orchestra and 60-piece choir. They put out the recording Foreigner with the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra & Chorus in the spring of 2018. Later that year, the nostalgic career retrospective continued with a series of reunion concerts dubbed Foreigner Then and Now.
