Foreigner Announces 2026 Concert Series with Orchestra Collaboration
Foreigner has announced their first concerts of 2026, which will feature a unique twist as they will be performing with an orchestra. The band will kick off the series of shows with five performances at the Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas, where they will collaborate with a 20-piece orchestra led by conductor Chick Palmer. Tickets for these shows are already available for purchase.
This won't be the first time Foreigner has teamed up with an orchestra, as they previously had successful orchestral concerts in Lucerne, Switzerland in 2017 and with the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra & Chorus in 2018. The arrangements for these performances were created by cello virtuoso Dave Eggar, who has worked with legendary artists like Paul Simon and Foreigner co-founder Mick Jones.
Foreigner is currently on a farewell tour with vocalist Kelly Hansen, with shows scheduled through November. In December, the band will introduce their new frontman Luis Maldonado during performances in the U.S. The touring lineup also includes bassist Jeff Pilson, guitarist Bruce Watson, keyboardist Michael Bluestein, and drummer Chris Frazier.
In anticipation of their 50th anniversary, Foreigner is expanding their chart-topping album "4" with a super-deluxe edition set to be released on September 12. The package will include newly remastered stereo or ATMOS versions of the album on 5CDs and a Blu-ray disc.
The 2026 tour dates for Foreigner have been announced, with shows in Las Vegas, Redding, Folsom, San Diego, Napa, and San Jose, among others. The band will also be performing at various locations across the U.S. as part of their previously announced 2025 tour dates. Fans can catch Foreigner live in concert and experience their iconic music in a new orchestral setting.
