On the heels of their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last Saturday (October 19), Foreigner announced that they will be extending their farewell tour. Additionally, the band plans to feature classic members at select shows, including original lead singer Lou Gramm.
The dates kick off with a previously announced Las Vegas residency kicking off this Friday (October 25) at The Venetian. Classic members Rick Wills and Al Greenwood will accompany the band throughout the residency.

After that, Foreigner has dates scheduled throughout 2025, kicking off on March 13 in Hollywood, Florida, and concluding with a two-night stand on October 10 and 11 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, with tickets available here. A press release hints that the tour will likely extend into 2026 to celebrate the band's 50th anniversary.
Gramm, Wills and Greenwood were on hand in Cleveland to accept Foreigner's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last weekend. They all performed with the band's current members, who were also joined by Demi Lovato, Sammy Hagar and Kelly Clarkson during the Rock Hall performance. Gramm dueted with Clarkson on “I Want to Know What Love Is.”
While there are no specific plans for Gramm to join the band as of yet, the press release says, “They are in talks to include Lou Gramm as Foreigner moves toward its 50th anniversary in 2026.” Gramm, who has been touring with his solo band in recent years, had previously stated that he would retire from touring at the end of this year.
Gramm left Foreigner in 2003, but joined them for select shows in 2017 and 2018. Kelly Hansen has been the band's leader since 2005, with no classical members on the current tour. Founding guitarist Mick Jones remains an official member of Foreigner, but no longer tours with the band due to his ongoing battle with Parkinson's disease.
Foreigner also performed at halftime of the Cleveland Browns-Cincinnati Bengals game on Sunday (Oct. 21).
“Performing the incredible catalog of music created by Mick Jones and the rest of the first incarnation of Foreigner is a dream come true for all of us,” said Hansen. “After twenty years of proudly flying the Foreigner flag, we are thrilled to regularly share the stage with the guys who started it all as we celebrate their recognition into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.”
