Rock legends Foreigner have announced the kickoff of their “50th Anniversary Year,” set to begin February 25 in Beaver Creek, Colorado. The milestone marks five decades since the band’s earliest rehearsals and launches a multi-format global touring schedule that will extend throughout 2026 and beyond.

The anniversary celebration opens with a special acoustic performance at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek on the exact date of the band’s first rehearsal in 1976. Current lineup members Luis Maldonado, Jeff Pilson, Michael Bluestein, and Bruce Watson will present stripped-back versions of Foreigner’s catalog in a setting designed to reflect on the band’s origins.

Following the Colorado dates, Foreigner will embark on an orchestral tour beginning with a March residency at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, later culminating in a performance with the San Diego Symphony. In April, the band will tour Florida alongside original vocalist Lou Gramm, presenting Foreigner 4 Deluxe, a full performance of the album 4 alongside a selection of the band’s Top 10 hits.

The anniversary tour continues into June with a 26-date European run featuring performances across Germany, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Scandinavia. Then on July 23, Foreigner will launch a co-headline U.S. amphitheater tour with fellow rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd.

At the center of Foreigner’s legacy is founder Mick Jones, whose songwriting and vision have guided the band through decades of commercial and cultural impact. Since their 1977 self-titled debut, Foreigner has delivered a catalog that includes enduring rock staples such as “Feels Like the First Time,” “Cold As Ice,” “Hot Blooded,” “Urgent,” “Juke Box Hero,” and the global number one hit “I Want to Know What Love Is.”

With ten multi-platinum albums, sixteen Top 30 singles, and worldwide album sales exceeding 80 million, Foreigner remains one of classic rock’s most successful acts. Their music continues to generate massive streaming numbers and airplay, reinforcing the band’s relevance fifty years into their career.

More touring and anniversary-related announcements are expected throughout 2026.
